i thought that going into labour at night was linked to hormones. i know i read something that was linked ftom bb - i'll see if i can find it.

Teni I can't imagine it either! Though my DD2 was born at 1.10pm, LOL. DD1 was born at 2am.

Whenever I imagine going into labour it is at night. I always thought I'd wake up in the middle of the night to contractions, and it did happen like that with DD2 Although it was daytime for her birth I had all the curtains closed and it was very dim in the room. I could not imagine wanting the curtains open and the whole room light. In fact, I actually identify the moment with DD1's birth when I felt like I was losing hope and everything was going wrong and I couldn't do it, was when a midwife came in and opened all the curtains and I realised it was light. I felt totally uncomfortable and lost hope because I realised how long I'd been there because it was the next day. I made sure that didn't happen second time around and had it in my birth plan that the curtains were definitely to be closed! I need dark to get in the zone

I can't imagine the following birth scenario but according to a midwife, this happened on her first day at a new job:

Arrived to couple A and DW, DH and DW's parents were all present. DW mentions to midwife she'd heard an orgasm during labour can help with pain. Midwife leaves room and returns later to DH down at the 'business end' pleasuring DW all while mum and dad watch on. DW has orgasm, DW's dad falls to the floor with having a heart attack

I think my dad would have a heart attack in such a situation as well!!

I had one natural born at 12:10am. and my next 3 were cs 3:20pm, 10:20am, and 9:30am. Much preferred the morning babies. with DS1 I was so out of it and tired after labouring that I really didn't get to have it sink in till he was 5 hours old..

with DS2 it was an ok time but due to the CS I was unable to get out of bed till the following morning then all hell broke loose with him anyways.... (nother story)

DS3 and DD were great time. Both before visiting hours I did however have a room full by the time I was out of recovery but I didn't mind as my last 3 bubs were in special care and I needed the distraction..

I guess for me I can't imagine having my baby in the room with me from word go... sad but true. Its so weird when I hear of people whether its a vag or CS birth having their babies with them, nice but I can't picture it..

People give birth around the clock 24 hours a day all around the world. I'm not sure what is so hard to imagine about that I wanted ds to be born after I had a good nights sleep and that's exactly what happened. I got up, had breakfast, started watching a movie, then had lunch and went into labor around midday and after a speedy 3.5 hour labor he was born naturally in the water in the afternoon.
