I woke up in labour at around 5.30am. And labored all day, and had dd at 7.18pm. It was actually exactly the timing I was hoping for! DD slept at night, so didn't get confused, and I was able to sleep as well! (in theory, next time I want to go home straight away) and it wasnt too late for MIL and BIL to visit after I had her. (my mum was with me and dad was at work)
I loved labouring during the day, i didn't have to worry about waking people up, I could go for walks to help labour along without looking like a weirdo and it didn't mess with my sleep patterns either!
I would've loved to have had a water birth, it was my intention, I laboured in the water, but I had to get out because DD wasn't moving down because I'd been in there so long, and as soon as I got out I was ready to push lol. Next time I know what to do differently though!
