What time of day did you go into labour?

[Jellyfish]

Similar to meow; contractions kicked off slowly around 8am and was in established labour by lunchtime, DD born just after 6pm.

[AndiE]

DS1 - waters broke spontaneously about 7.30pm - born early the next morning.
DS2 - woke up as normal about 6.30am. First noticed mild cramping about 7am and labour went from here (born 2pm).

[Arimeh]

5am for both.

My midwife also told me the same thing about being relaxed at night

[Yael]

around 10.30pm with DS, and around 9.30am with DD.. Hope tonight is "the night"... can't wait for the good news.

Apparently thunderstorms and the change in barometric pressure causes heaps of ladies to go into labour.. my mum always says thee labour wards are full after them. There were huge thunderstorms the day before DS was born, and they were so full I was in the spare room normally used as a waiting room outside.

So you just need to go storm chasing!

So you just need to go storm chasing!

Sounds like a sensible way to spend the last days of your pregnancy to me....

[Junglemum]

Just packing a bag to go storm chasing (down a bump road) in the nude, after my solo full moon party...... better go stir the curry....

[Yael]

If you are going naked why do you need to pack a bag :P

Dach - I never said I was sensible!

[Khaleesi]

DD1 waters broke at 8:31pm, contractions started within 30mins but active labor didn't start till 6am.

DD2 waters broke at 8am, contractions started within 30mins & she was born 2hrs later.

After a S&S at 2pm I noticed mild cramping at 8:30pm, went to hospital at 3am and DS born at 9:30 am.

[Junglemum]

Well there goes the middle of the night theory!

Cheshire- i heard today was a good day to have a baby.

[*Beema*]

DD1 ~ waters broke just before 8pm, ctx started 45min late, got to hospital about 9:30pm, internal 10pm 7-8cm, she was born just over 1/2hr later 10:37pm
DD2 ~ not worth going through

Happy due date

[Kazzo]

DD1 waters broke around 4am.
DD2 noticed first contraction around 4am.
So same time for me for both girls.

[DANNIIM]

Both were 4am for me.

[Khaleesi]

Today is when all the coolest people are born

[Phteven]

DS1 - waters broke at 5am. Born about 3 days later
DS2 - waters broke at 5am. Dragged out the sun roof about 12 hours later.

[Lily Dust]

Water broke at 6:24am and had DD in my arms before our Midwife finished her shift

[Rainbow_Mumma]

DS - afternoon
DD1 - early evening
DD2 - early hours of the morning
DS2&3 - show in the morning established labour around midnight

[~Trish~]

I've heard it's more likely to happen in the middle of the night because your oxytocin levels peak in the early hours of the morning?

With both boys labour started at 4am, with DD I had a "real" contraction at 8pm, but it didn't really start until about 9:30pm, she was so different! My sister had a bub on Saturday and her contractions started in the late afternoon, so there you go

Not long to go now JM!!!
