Is it true what they say about the full moon?


A friend of mine is predicting that I will give birth while there is a full moon this month.

So, I did a little research to see what all the hype is about a full moon and pregnancies. I found an interesting theory that I thought I would share.

Apparently, the theory is that the moon's gravitational pull effects the amniotic fluid in much the same way as it effects the water in the sea, rivers and even the water that's otherwise found in our bodies. During a full moon, the pressure caused by the moon's effect on the water inside the sac can cause enough pressure for the sac to break which will start the labor process.

My estimated due date is Aug. 8th....there just so happens to be a full moon on Aug. 6th. Plus my doctor is on call that night. That would be perfect! ;)

Does this mean Micah will come a little early?....Who knows.....Stay tuned. :)
