Why if the lunar eclipse does not affect pregnancy has this myth handed down from generation??

Question

If we look at this with a receptive and open mind, we will believe it has in many cases caused defective births and maybe it would be wise to poll this question and get a definite answer from the people who were pregnant during the time of a solar eclipse. I believe because the world is so complex and we seemed to rational everything by science and logic we forget there is a greater force that we may never understand!

Answer 1

my daughter was born on the lunar eclipse that happened this year back in February. she wasn't born with any defects. she was perfect.

Answer 2

My grandma was a midwife in the 20's and 30's and she always said more babies come when it's a full moon or closer to a full moon - remember, the moon is the reason for the tides we have here on Earth (including some rivers that have tides like the Thames in England).  Also remember, that babies live in a sac of amniotic fluid - so there is quite possibly a "pulling effect" (for lack of a better term) during a full moon on that fluid.  That's how she explained it to me.
