The nurses said they don't really see more women in labor over full moons, but the barometric pressure changes with storms causes it sometimes. It was pretty busy when I was there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-950377 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 16:16:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 950377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, there was a full moon 6 days before he was born and a blue moon 3 or so weeks later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-950374 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 16:13:26 +0000 Bao 950374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but 2 days before a full moon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-950341 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:55:19 +0000 swedishfish 950341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced on June 24 this year, the day after a full moon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-950336 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:53:51 +0000 MrsF 950336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M was born during the harvest moon (full moon closest to the autumnal equinox) last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-950255 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:12:58 +0000 Pepper 950255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into labor 2 days after the full moon in June! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-950250 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:11:14 +0000 Adira 950250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Wow!!

I figure the longer he or she is in (up to 40 weeks) the better? Mostly I'm trying not to impatient! July 24 or Aug 1 would be nice since they are birthdays of special family members :)</p> <p>ETA: Plus I'm nervous too many people will go into labor and the hospital will be crowded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-in-labor-during-a-full-moon#post-949970 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 12:41:42 +0000 yellowbird 949970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!

The full moon was on Monday, Feb 25th, which is when I went into labor, and then I gave birth the next day. When I checked into the hospital, the nurses mentioned that a lot of women were in labor and then they said it was a full moon and that was why! Here's a list of full moons since 2005:</p> <p><a href="http://moonphases.info/full_moon_calendar_dates.html#Next_Full_Moon_Calendar_Dates" rel="nofollow">http://moonphases.info/full_moon_calendar_dates.html#Next_Full_Moon_Calendar_Dates</a></p> <p>Were you in labor during a full moon? </p>
