I was reading a great birthing story online earlier, in which the mum happened to mention that this child, along with all her other children, had been born on a full moon.
Funnily enough, both of my children were also born on a full moon. And I definitely recall there always being references to ‘full moons’ on pregnancy forums and the fact that a flurry of births would accompany them!
This article suggests it’s connected to the moon’s effect on tides (our bodies are largely made up of water, after all) whereas this article shows arguments AGAINST the lunar effect on labour and birth.
So, time for a survey! Look up your month and year of birth here or here and check the moon phase.
For the sake of this survey, we’ll agree that if you were born on any of the FIVE days in each moon cycle that are at least 95% full (so, that’s the 100% full moon day and two days either side of it), then you were born on a full moon.
You can vote more than once (just refresh the page) so why not add in your children, parents, siblings etc. too!
Were you (or your child, parent, sibling etc.) born on a full moon?

Hi there, just thought I would share a website that shows the full moons dates from 2004-2012 so the ladies can see how close their babies were born to them as this is realy interesting (both my daughters were born 2 days before a full moon).. I hope this is ok
