Baby Maybe?

I have a coworker that predicted today as the due date because it's a full moon. I did a little bit of noodling aound on the world wide web this is what I found:

"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.
As a woman's body prepares for natural childbirth, the amniotic sac becomes distended so the point where it will easily burst if put under pressure. Under normal circumstances, the pressure of labor contractions bursts the sac. During a full moon, the pressure caused by the moon's effect on the water inside the sac can cause the same things to happen, but without the accompanying contractions." The Moon's Effect on Natural Childbirth by David Rose

"One study looked at 5,927,978 French births occurring between the months of January 1968 and the 31st December 1974. Using spectral analysis, it was shown that there are two different rhythms in birth frequencies: --a weekly rhythm characterized by the lowest number of births on a Sunday and the largest number on a Tuesday and an annual rhythm with the maximum number of births in May and the minimum in September-October. A statistical analysis of the distribution of births in the lunar month shows that more are born between the last quarter and the new moon, and fewer are born in the first quarter of the moon. The differences between the distribution observed during the lunar month and the theoretical distribution are statistically significant."

A statistical study of 5,927,978 births Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology. (Paris). 1986;15(3):265-71

So, is there really a correlation between the moon and childbirth?

Being that it's a Tuesday and a full moon, today could be the day! Keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers. I will be :)
