Under a Full Moon

What could be a better way to finish my last shift of OB night float than an action-packed night? The post-partum floor was a full-house with 40-some patients, and I did 3 out of the god knows how many normal deliveries. The residents were swamped with laboring patients all night long. It kept on going and going until I realized I had 2 hours to see 18 patients and complete all their progress notes by 6. Even though studies have proved it otherwise, it makes one wonder if there is really a connection between a full-moon and pregnant women going into labour?
