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
