Octobet 8th full moon & lunar eclipse

damian10

Soo how many of us will have our babies or go into labor because of this event??? My niece turns 19 and she thinks her cousin will be born also curious weather she is right!! Guess we shall see!

megsandjohn

Interesting...i went into labour in 2011 with the super moon. Coincidence or super moon forces???

Lindzoid

Typically lots of babies are born around full moons......fingers crossed mine is one of them!

MrMrsandBaby

I hope I'm not one of them. I don't want to be there with all the craziness!

damian10

Two of my other three were born on full moons.,. I'm with you guys, hope this one is too

@cocomama1109‌ .... LUCKY!!! ( not fair lol

MrsTinMKE

This is my due date, so I would be totally ok with this!

savicke2009

Bring all the babies!!! Ill be 38+2 and off work.. lesdodiss

erinchrisitne424

I will be 38+5. That would be awesome of it happens that day again. I was 38+6 with my first one. And he was 4 days before the full moon so we shall see if it has any effect this time around. My first was also a scheduled CS and he came earlier than planned so who knows.

I was just wondering about this! The triage nurses have told me that they notice a huge uptick in the amount of births when there is a full moon!

Emerald27

I'll be 38+5 too. Works for me!

Leysin97

I'm scheduled the day before so glad for that as in sure the hospital will get busy. When we toured the hospital we didn't get to see the rooms or the nursery (Nicu was full and they had to use the nursery) because of a super moon crazy labor weekend and all the rooms were full.

SaphireShimmer

I will be 39+6 so works for me as long as my bronchitis clears up enough by then that I feel  up to it

Ravenbaby

Hope she comes sooner, but this date is my last real hope as my induction will be that Friday

flyingncmama

I'm still hoping to hold out until my due date on the 10th, but I'm awfully glad this is my last weekend at work since full moons do bring in lots of crazies.

erinchrisitne424

@saphireshimmer you have bronchitis too? I keep praying that every day mine goes away. I hope you get better quicker than its taking me. I am going on week 4

@flyingcmama my last weekend at work is the weekend after the super moon, I know what you mean about the crazies coming out. Maybe it will settle down between wednesday and saturday...though unlikely.

meggiev123

That's 40+2 for me, which was when DD was born so I've been betting on that day anyway!  

onelilroo

I'll be 38+3 on the 8th, so I'm down!! Plus that would get me out of an induction at 39 weeks. let's go super moon babies!

cmac6186

That's MHs birthday so I have mixed feelings. Don't want LO to have to share bdays especially if it turns out to be a boy (we're planning on naming him junior) all the paper work in life would be a nightmare! Same name same birthday, no thanks.

AppleGrapeMSTK

Weird. I just dreamed that they were going to induce me on the 8th. I see no reason for that or to assume LO will be here by then. Guess only time will tell.

Well, not sure if it counts - but my induction was just scheduled for Oct. 8th....so I'll be on the list if I don't go naturally beforehand!

ETA: Maybe I should think about moving it to the 9th....the hospitals might be very full!!! lol

Justabean3

It usually is a few days before and after also

I'm out, mine is tomorrow

yella726

My due date is the 10th so I'll be on alert that day!

ohioloveyou

Between polar vortex babies and the full moon I think I'll be doing my very best to stay pregnant til after the 8th.  I'm scared I won't get a room!

Dani0329

FX for me too, I will be 2 days shy of 39 weeks.

HappyCianci

Another fun fact: October 5th is the most popular birthday in the US... so this week is riddled with potential labor days for us

cmcookaln

My coworker and I just looked this up today. I had an appointment yesterday and the dr said I could go at any time so we were trying to guess today when we thought it would be.  She mentioned the full moon so we looked up the date.  I will be 38w6d on the 8th so we shall see.  The dr is already talking about stripping my membrane or scheduling an induction.  I don't think I will make it to my due date (16th).

TheFutureMrs.O

Oh how awesome! I went into labor with DS on a full moon night and I have a RCS booked for the 8th! Both kiddos will be born on full moons!!

Klavanga74

That's the date I wanted to schedule but they wouldn't let me because I'll be 38+6 instead of 39. So that'd be great with me!

Megyn07

My due date!! Is the full moon thing really a labor induction..would be interested to know.

CubanPinky

my csection is scheduled for the 8th

FinntheHuman

My due date is the 7th my guess has been the 8th (or later) for awhile so count me in with the moon! Moon cycles mess with my mood so this wouldn't surprise me.

Perhaps they are Octobetting on the full moon.

8 is my favorite number, and my doc will be on call that night. I'm with it...

KrissyR13

I'm good with that ! I will be 40+6.. Ready for this LO to come out !

leeanne101

i'm due on the 17th but DH's bday is on the 13th so we're really hoping that DS is born on or around that date... so i really hope that the full moon doesn't have any effect on me because i totally want to avoid the craziness at the hospital,

GoldenGibson

I hope that's true, I would love to get out of an induction next week and have LO come on his own!

raynes

I'd be ok with that. I'll be 40+5, and I'm so ready to be done.
