Arrives January and 2010 and Babies and again the possibility of knowing what is true in the popular belief that says that many women go into labor on the days when there are changes in the moon phase.
Few are the moms who explain to us if it matches them the time of delivery With the moon change. The coincidences are probably few, but anyway, another month, we bring back the Moon's calendar for those moms who are close to the time of delivery and want to take the test.
For those who do not know the belief, it is said that the moon has an effect on pregnant women in the same way that it affects the tides (you know that the tide rises at night due to the gravitational effect of the moon), since we humans are not only In our majority water, but babies also live in an aqueous medium called amniotic fluid and at each change of the moon phase (and especially with the full moon) the chances of calving increase. There are recent studies, of which we have already spoken in Babies and more, that show that there really is no difference with the phase changes and even with a full moon. However, two thirds of the population still thinks that the moon does affect and there are books and publications that explain really curious things.
It is said that formerly the menstrual periods went hand in hand with the lunar cycle (which is also 28 days), ovulating the full moon day and menstruating the new moon day. In this way the births were in full moon, and hence today we speak of the full moon day as the most likely. Women who had "changed" cycles, menstruating on a full moon, were considered witches.
As a curiosity: Menarquia (the first menstruation of women) is a word that comes from the Greek and means "first moon."
If in the past this was so, why not now?
Apparently over time women (and men) have separated from nature. The use of the contraceptive pill, the contamination, the food full of chemistry, the disconnection of the woman with her body, with her sexuality and with the earth, etc. have done that the moon has stopped influencing as I did before.
There is also literature in this regard that says that when women live in natural environments their ovulation tends to occur during the full moon and the ruler in the dark phase of the moon, as I have commented above. I cannot assure you, because I do not know any woman who lives in a natural environment that can confirm it to me.
Perhaps for these reasons the Moon's calendar It can be useful for some women and at the same time a nonsense for others.
Will it be true? I think we'll never know if it really ever happened.
January lunar calendar
