We have already talked about the influence of the moon on births.
Although many beliefs indicate that the change of the moon influences the biology of women to the point of causing births, researchers have not been able to verify it scientifically.
Some scientists from the University of Castilla-La Mancha intrigued by the matter have dedicated themselves to developing a study on the relationship between the number of children born and lunar cycles that does not give credit to the stories about the moon's influences on births.
One of the authors of the research, Francisco García Alcaraz, professor of Nursing at that university said that after analyzing all the deliveries of the Albacete hospital for a year, no relationship was found between the phases of the moon and the dates on which The babies were born.
The number of births was similar in the four phases and, in any case, it has been seen that they decreased slightly on the full moon and increased with the new one.
The subject was also analyzed by the Leon Astronomy Association, which in a statistical work has reached the same conclusion.
On May 2 there will be a full moon ... we can see who is right, if the hospitals of parturient mothers collapse, or on the contrary, it will be a day with a usual number of births as scientists predict.
