Full moon 6/2

[redlipz]

There's a full moon on Tuesday June 2. Wonder how many of us will go into labor or have false labor pains!

I've been tracking the full moon! At my NST yesterday the nurse said they typically have an influx of patience the day AFTER the full moon! That's the day my H picked for when be thinks the twins will come.

I have acupuncture Monday late afternoon. Full moon technically happens at 10 am our time on Tuesday. And then we shall see.

Last time, the full moon fell 2 days before DS' due date. He came out at the following new moon. I was quite annoyed with that old wive's tale.

I've been told by nurses also that the hospital in general gets crazy but that also a lot of women go in with labor pains, many times they get sent home though because there no progress.

Actually a friend of ours was talking about this recently. Hes an emergency responder and says it is the most stressful time, the number of calls goes up and the lunacy of the people calling tends to increase. Lol.

Now that I remember, when I used to volunteer in the ER it was pretty crazy. A lot of cuts and bumps n stuff.

I'm due the 4th so hopefully it will have an effect.

I'm due the 8th but have been joking with H that I'll need him around 11-11:30am on the 2nd because apparently it's "Bosses Day" and they are getting special lunch made for them and he's really excited about it. Then I just realized about the full moon today and evil laughed even more.

I keep semi-joking with DH its going to happen Tuesday b/c of this. EDD is Fri and I'm pretty ready for baby to make an appearance so I've convinced myself it'll be then.
Im going to be so disappointed come Wednesday morning...

I feel the same way! EDD is 6/8.

I'm actually hoping to NOT go on or around the full moon. Because the increase in patients, it's much more chaotic and that's the last thing I want is to be going into labor with 15 other women or stuck giving birth in triage because there are literally no delivery rooms available. Or waiting for an epidural behind 10 other women. Ahhh!!
So, all that said, I'm sure I will go into labor Tuesday night lol

With DS my EDD was the day before? The full moon. I went in the night if the full moon to start my induction. From my understanding there were a lot of babies born the day after DS. If DS would have had to stay another night at the hospital they would have had to discharge me bc they didn't have enough PP rooms. (However these were likely hurricane Sandy babies and not just full moon babies)

My OB plans to strip my membranes on Tuesday I hopes of having a Wednesday baby (but not bc of the full moon-she doesn't seem to see any correlation), my doula has been rooting for a Tues/weds baby bc of full moon. Weds is BILs b day so it would be nice to not have babu that day, but it won't be the end of the world either.

Great! This means my students will be terrors the next four days!

I have worked in Customer Service since I was 17.....and have concluded that full moons brings out all kinds of crazies and weird things happen.

DH is a FF/Paramedic and says the same thing, that call volume always goes up and apparently all the crazies come out on a full moon.
