The most popular says that on the night of a full moon more women will have their water break and go into labor than at any other point in a lunar cycle.
It sort of makes sense. Full moons do some crazy stuff to people maybe they make baby finally decide to break out of that uterus. The theory behind this belief is sensible enough.
Believers claim that the full moons gravitational pull affects a pregnant womans water sac much like it affects the tide. When a woman is close to her due date the sac is bulging so that a contraction usually breaks the water. The belief that a full moon can kickstart a pregnant woman into labor is widespread but not backed by science.

In fact some medical staffers at a Sacramento California hospital recently pointed to the full moon to explain the 45 babies that were born there within just 48 hours. As the theory goes since the moons gravitation pull is strong enough to influence the tides its also strong enough to affect a womans body namely her menstrual cycle and if shes pregnant and nearing her due date her contractions. As I look into the morning sky and see a full moon on the way to work I certainly say to myself with a touch of sarcasm Great full moon lucky me.
It certainly feels like we are busier on labor and delivery units on or around a full moon. Ask any LD nurse and they will tell you with confidence that more babies are born during a full moon. The moon has been linked in folklore to many aspects of human behavior.
