A month ago we brought you the Moon's calendar of the month of April, with which theoretically it would be known or predicted the moment of delivery, if we pay attention to the popular belief that associates the different phases of the moon with the birth.
We do not know if any reader saw her birth coincide with the moon change, but today, close to the month of may, we talk about it again in case future May moms want to take the test.
For those who have not heard of this belief, it is said that in the same way that the moon has an effect on the tides, it has it on humans, that we are mostly water and has it on the births of babies, who live in an aqueous medium called amniotic fluid. Several studies have shown that there is no difference in the number of births when there is a phase change or when there is 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.
Many will wonder why it is not so now. 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. they have made us move away from nature and have caused the moon has stopped influencing as I did before.
Perhaps this is why the lunar calendar can be useful for some women and is at the same time nonsense for others.
Last month I joined the group of unbelievers. This month, after knowing what has been explained, I dare not position myself.
I leave this month's calendar:
The cycle changes will be as follows:
• Increasing cycle: Day 1 at 8:45 p.m. • Full moon: Day 9 at 04:30 h. • Waning cycle: Day 17 at 07:27 h. • New moon: Day 24 at 12:12 h. • Increasing cycle: Day 31 at 03:23 h.
You will count, future may moms, if there has been a coincidence with the lunar cycles.
