My boyfriend is convinced baby is going to come around that time even though I'm not due until the 17th. But I think his thinking has more to do with Easter time and new beginnings! I'm hoping little one doesn't arrive until due date
I'm hoping to go in the 1st because that is the anniversary of my great grandmothers passing a few years back, and this baby has her name for her middle name. It would be an honor to make it a happier day!
I'm due 4/1 but my guess is 4/4 and I didn't even know that was a full moon!! Just got done doing MAJOR deep cleaning of the house since I figure it's probably my last weekend. Hubby is still finishing up steam cleaning, this baby better not come tonight because we both need sleep! lol
I do believe this! The person who told me about it was a delivery room nurse who experienced it first-hand and said it was a well-known thing among doctors and nurses. Sounds a little funny but I do believe it's true!

My hospital won't schedule convenience inductions on full moons b/c they are inevitably full with spontaneous labors. Medically necessary inductions still get done - but otherwise they make the inductions wait until after the full moon.
I have been crossing my legs and fingers with my feet up relaxing since Thursday night that I don't go into labor until at least tomorrow afternoon so I can celebrate Easter w DD, I guess I'm backwards!
Earlier had contractions on avg 5 min apart then decided to lay down and they stopped but im still having back pain and cramps. Cant seem to get them to stay!!
Hey I'll take whatever force I can get at this point! Not due til the 20th but I'm 38w which is longer than I went with my son. Already 1.5cm and 50% effaced with lots of irregular contractions. My doc thinks I'll go into labor early. Would love a full moon/Easter baby!
Re: Full moon baby
I went into labor with my son on a new moon.
Just got done doing MAJOR deep cleaning of the house since I figure it's probably my last weekend. Hubby is still finishing up steam cleaning, this baby better not come tonight because we both need sleep! lol
I do buy into it though!
