To study the relationship between lunar position and the day of delivery; to investigate the synodic distribution of spontaneous deliveries, especially in relation to the presence of a full moon.
Retrospective analysis of 1248 spontaneous full-term deliveries in three-year period (36 lunar months), setted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Civil Hospital, Fano (Marche, Italy), using circular statistics techniques.
A connection between the distribution of spontaneous full-term deliveries and the lunar month was found. The effect of the phases of the moon seems to be particularly relevant in multiparae and plurigravidae; in these cases, the mean day of delivery corresponds to the first or second day after the full moon.
In this paper the effect of lunar phases on the time of delivery is shown. This influence seems to be especially relevant in the case of multiparae and plurigravidae. Nevertheless, it is too weak to allow for prediction regarding the days with the highest frequency of deliveries.
研究农历日期与分娩日期之间的关系；调查自然分娩的朔望月分布情况，尤其是与满月出现的关系。
采用圆形统计技术，对意大利马尔凯大区法诺市民医院妇产科在三年期间（36个农历月）的1248例足月自然分娩进行回顾性分析。
发现足月自然分娩的分布与农历月份之间存在关联。月亮相位的影响在经产妇和多产妇中似乎尤为显著；在这些情况下，平均分娩日期对应于满月后的第一天或第二天。
本文显示了月相对分娩时间的影响。这种影响在经产妇和多产妇的情况下似乎尤为显著。然而，这种影响过于微弱，无法预测分娩频率最高的日期。
