Moms who have had previous babes, whats the lunar connection??

I just posted this thought in the "still preg." thread but its interesting enough for its own I think.

So, what was the phase of the moon at your previous births?? If you don't know you can google lunar phases and the year your child was born to find out. I only knew my first was a full moon girl but on researching I found that I always birth around then.

#1~full moon (day before EDD)
#2~full moon (gel induced 12 days past EDD)
#3~ 3 days before full moon (8 days past EDD)

The next full moon is October 7th, so I figure baby will most likely come between the 3rd and the 7th. That'll put me around 42w3d according to U/S and 41w3day according to length of cycle/LMP.

We'll see......

Very intresting!!! I've never paid attention to more than the full moon for birth connections. But according to this site http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/MoonPhase.html#y2006 DS was born on the 1st quarter moon (12/30/03) & the next 1st quarter moon will again be on 30th of Sept which I was thinking the other day would be funny if baby waited till the 30th so both kids would have 30th birthdays. That being said I really hope he doesn't wait til the 30th : , but it is intresting.

I thought the next full moon was 10/6?

DD1 was born three days before the full moon (February 3rd, 2004), but she was due on the exact day of the last quarter moon (the waning moon), 19 days prior!

#3 was born with the full moon but neither of the other two were even close.
