Lunar thoughts

As a midwife, I have become more aware of the cycle of the moon as births often seem to happen around the new and full moons. It’s not unusual for me to glance into the night sky and remark “It’s going to be a busy night by the look of that moon.” The limited research that has been done on the lunar cycle and birth suggests there is no link and the last few days have seemed to agree with that as we are currently halfway between the full and new moons and there have been quite a few births.
