🤰 Lunar calendar 2022 for pregnancy – Calculate ovulation and due date

Many people don’t know, but pregnancy is counted by weeks and takes into account a different calendar than we are used to: the lunar calendar 2022 for pregnancy.

In the lunar calendar, every month has 4 weeks, making a total of 28 days. And as the name implies, it is dictated by the changing of the moons. So, when the moon completes its full cycle, going through all the phases, we have a month.

However, before we talk about the 2022 lunar calendar for pregnancy, it is important that you understand the influence of the Moon on a woman’s menstrual cycle, as this is where it all starts.

It is said that in ancient times the menstrual cycle followed the phases of the moon. So, women menstruated at New Moon and ovulated at Full Moon.

Currently, with the use of contraceptives and other hormones, this is not the reality for most women.
But for those who do not use any type of hormone, it is still possible to synchronize the menstrual cycle with the phases of the moon using a light therapy called Lunaception. The technique was taught by French writer Louise Lacey in a work published in 1975.

At the time, the writer was diagnosed with breast cancer that was possibly caused by the use of contraceptives. She then dove into natural medicine to understand its cycles and created the Lunaception method based on studies in veterinary medicine and botany.

This therapy, in addition to helping women who have an irregular cycle, optimizes reproductive health and can be of great value to those who want to get pregnant, as you will know exactly when you will ovulate.

Lunaception Method – Step by step

Although it is very difficult to synchronize your menstrual cycle with the phases of the moon, it is possible.

Step 1

The first step is to try to connect as much as possible with this star, reducing the stress of your day to day and the use of technologies.

step 2

During the first 14 days of your menstrual cycle, that is, from the first day you get your period and the next 13 days, you should sleep in a completely dark place.

For this, the ideal thing is that you close all the doors in your room and use blackout on the windows and glass doors.

step 3

The 14th day would theoretically be the day of your ovulation. So, from the 14th to the 16th day, you should sleep with very dim light.

step 4

After 3 days of sleeping in dim light, you should return to complete darkness until your next period starts.
Keeping this routine, you will gradually be able to synchronize your cycle with the Moon.

It is also important to record your menstrual cycle day by day on a lunar calendar to keep track of this synchronization.

There are two reasons why the Moon affects our cycle:

• Because of light and circadian rhythm (which is the variation that occurs in our biological functions repeatedly every 24 hours);
• Because of gravity.

Just as the moon draws the tides towards it, our bodies are also drawn towards it. There is almost a magnetism between our blood and this natural satellite of Earth.

Origin of the lunar calendar for pregnancy

As we said earlier, in the past, women’s cycle was synchronized with the Moon, so pregnancy was also counted by observing this star: with each change of Moon, a week of pregnancy had passed.

For each complete cycle of the Moon, that is, four changes, one month of gestation was counted. Soon, they realized that women needed 10 full cycles to give birth.

Thus, the birth date of babies was also calculated based on the changes of this star.

Lunar calendar 2022 for pregnancy – How to calculate due date

To calculate the Probable Date of Delivery (DPP) based on the 2022 lunar pregnancy calendar, you need to remember the day of your last period.

As a normal pregnancy lasts 10 full moon phases, look on the calendar which phase of the moon your last period was and count 9 more complete cycles from that date.

Ready! Now you already know the week your baby will be born and even what sign he should have.

How does the 2022 lunar calendar for pregnancy affect childbirth?

Just as the Moon is able to influence the tides, it can also affect childbirth, as its energy exerts strong magnetism in liquids.

It is believed that the strong gravitational energy of the Full Moon, said to be the most powerful phase, puts pressure on the amniotic fluid, causing the woman to go into labor.

Myth or fact?

Although there is no scientific proof, many midwives and doulas claim that there is an increase in the number of births in the moon change, especially in the full phase.

That is, during pregnancy, the change of Moon 2022 is an important moment, especially for pregnant women who are in the final stretch of pregnancy.

baby sex

Through the lunar calendar 2022 for pregnancy it is even possible to choose the sex of the baby. It is believed that the chances of having a girl increase when the egg is fertilized during the Crescent Moon. In order to have a boy, fertilization should ideally be carried out in the Waning phase.

Another theory says that when this Earth’s natural satellite is in a Fire or Air sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius), there is a greater chance of becoming pregnant with a boy.

To have a girl, it is best to conceive when the Moon is traveling through Earth or Water signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces).

There is also the belief that girls are usually born at the change from the Waning Moon to the New Moon and boys, at the turn from the Crescent to the Full Moon.

As the New Moon favors new projects, the ideal thing is that at this stage, the pregnant woman takes moments to think about plans for when the baby arrives, about what the new routine will be like.

To follow your pregnancy more closely, it is also good to write down your emotions during this period. How about keeping a pregnancy diary?

Influence of the Crescent Moon 2022 on pregnancy

This is the Moon of action. In other words, it’s time to put what was planned at the New Moon into practice. A good time to buy the child’s trousseau, set up the baby’s room and get all your ideas off paper.

In your pregnancy diary, during this phase, it’s nice to write down the plans you put into practice. This will make you feel more productive, even during pregnancy.

If you are planning a cesarean, the Crescent Moon is an excellent time to schedule yours, as planned deliveries usually go smoothly at this stage.

Full moon 2022 influence on pregnancy

This is the Moon of completion. So if you’ve already started putting together the baby’s room, finish it! It’s time to perfect everything you’ve already started doing. Don’t leave anything unfinished.

If you haven’t started anything about pregnancy yet, it’s best to wait for the Crescent Moon to arrive to get your hands dirty. This is not a good time to start new things.

To control the urge to go out doing a thousand new things at this stage, just write down your urges to put them into practice in the next lunar cycle.

It’s also good to be prepared for an unexpected birth. As we said earlier, the Full Moon often puts pressure on the amniotic fluid, anticipating the birth of the babies that are on the way.

Influence of the waning moon 2022 on pregnancy

It’s time to take a dip inside. It’s time to avoid stress, conflicts and situations that put you at risk, for your sake and your baby’s.

Be quieter at home, do activities that relax you and stop worrying about planning, organization and everything that involves the arrival of a baby.

Leave it for next week. This moment is yours alone, of reflection and contact with your inner divine. A good time to write down your thoughts in your pregnancy diary.

If you’re about to have your baby, take the opportunity to practice breathing and calming techniques. Births in the waning moon are usually a little longer.
