Eclipse tomorrow!! Are you staying in??

Question

Lol my grandma and aunts keep telling me not to go out tomorrow at all, because of that huge "eclipse" or "bloody moon" everyone keeps talking about! I guess its super bad for the baby or it can make you go in to labor early! I know, sounds stupid, I'm not a believer of this kind of stuff, but im just curious. Do any of you believe in these old wives' tales??

Answer

If it's going to affect you (which I don't believe), just being in the house isn't going to protect you. Just sayin.

Answer

All the supernatural werewolves will be changing tomorrow... Hahaha! It's fine. Some people are already "lunatics" anyway. That word, by the way, came from the belief that people act all crazy during a lunar eclipse. Pretty cool, huh? I thought so anyway.

Answer

If it did work it would still affect you at home lol

Answer

One of my patients is a L&D Nurse of 30yrs. She says they are always busier on a full moon :) I'm 39wks so I hope she is right!!

Answer

Actually the moons gravitational pull on the earth affects the tides and people think this also makes women go in to labor. Statistically though, this is untrue.

Answer

I don't believe that

Answer

I read on Ovia that it is a Mexican superstition that if you are pregnant during an eclipse, the baby will have cleft lip. Isn't that from a nutritional deficiency instead?
Nah, I'm not worried. Tomorrow I'm going to the Ren Faire!

Answer

Nope!

Answer

My thought was why couldn't it happen on Halloween?  I'll be out in it and will probably take my girls out to see it.

Answer

No connection between full moons and labor, it's an old wives tale!
