I went 8 days late but labour started naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556407 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:38:15 +0000 bunnylove08 556407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waxing crescent moon phase on the Sept 18 2012. When we got to L&amp;D on the 17th it was crazy. We also had a lot of NICU babies who had to be put in a regular room. the floor was crazy there were hardly any beds for new moms.</p> <p>I forgot to add she was a week early </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556397 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:34:18 +0000 Dandelion 556397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: yeah, I read that hospitals staff extra on full moon nights...not only l&amp;d, but the ER as well. I've been reading a bit online today, and I guess the new moon also has a trend of being tricky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556381 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:27:18 +0000 lemondrop 556381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>97.25% full- it was a Saturday, and the full moon was going to be Monday. I was sure he would at least arrive on the full moon, but my water broke and he made his escape a couple days before the full moon. </p> <p>I spent Monday night in the nesting room in the NICU and tons of babies were born- that place was hopping! We got sent to a lower priority room in the NICU while we waited for our bilirubin results.</p> <p>I've always heard that the full moon was when things trend to happen. When I worked in the veterinary ER, we would always dread full moons, they would be the craziest nights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556285 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:00:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 556285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@YellowBird: Yep - September 1! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556279 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:59:06 +0000 Dandelion 556279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: Was it crowded when you gave birth, too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556274 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:57:55 +0000 yellowbird 556274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: our LOs must be born the same day.

I'm trying to decide if inductions count, too, lol. I guess if they're surprises, like @mslipgloss had, they would count, cause that would mean other factors were there that could have possible been affected by the moon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556213 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:39:37 +0000 BelugaBean 556213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katiew92081: I was going to look up when DH was born too but he was a scheduled c-section so I figured it wouldn't play that well into if the new moon affects labor or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556205 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:36:29 +0000 Dandelion 556205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mslipgloss: Wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556201 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:35:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 556201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KatieW92081: When I arrived at L&amp;D on Friday afternoon, (it was a surprise induction), there were only 1 or 2 other women there. By the time I delivered Saturday night, there were more than 10 women in L&amp;D. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556195 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:33:14 +0000 Dandelion 556195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, now looking at our family, with me being half moon, dh being 3/4 moon and ds being a new moon, maybe she's gonna be the full moon one, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phase-of-the-moon-did-you-deliver-your-baby#post-556190 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:31:51 +0000 littlebug 556190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered a week late (induced), and it was a waxing crescent.
