Nice thread

Being due today as well, this is pretty much the type of thing I want to be reading

Isn't it the full moon tonight? I have heard more woman go into labour on the full moon. Go sit outside in the moonlight for a bit

**Junglemum** · June 15th, 2011, 02:49 PM

PZ and i are having a full moon party tonight. All welcome. Outside, wherever you are, mostly nude after 9pm if you're keen.

**PumpkinZulu** · June 15th, 2011, 02:55 PM

Yep. I'm gonna howl at the moon, swaying and rocking my hips

Possibly whilst eating a hot curry, stimulating my nipples and dtd

Around 6am I started having contractions about 10 minutes apart but didn't really click that I was in labour until my waters broke at 7.20am then I knew

Oooh, full moon. I have heard that more women go into labour with a full moon too. I've got two friends who are ED nurses and they've said it's always crazy on a full moon for all kinds of incidents

Good luck girls!

I went to bed at 10.30pm, had my first contraction about half an hour later (before I even managed to fall asleep). 36 hours later DD was born.

**~Hestia~** · June 15th, 2011, 03:16 PM

Contractions started 7pm on the dot

Thinking of you, hope to see a BA very soon!

**~Stoked~** · June 15th, 2011, 03:21 PM

DD- waters broke at 7:30pm. She was born just after midnight.

DS- first contractions at around 11am. He was born at 4:23pm.

**Pandora** · June 15th, 2011, 03:23 PM

About 6-7 pm, early irregular pains
After tell my cousin on MSN that nothing was happening earlier in the evening.

**xXHopeXx** · June 15th, 2011, 03:27 PM

I was woken up by my contractions at around 4.30-5am i think? "established labour" didn't start til around 4.30pm though. Thats when the midwife checked me and I was 3cm. Then DD was born at 7.20pm that evening

**kristi14** · June 15th, 2011, 04:00 PM

#2 labour started early evening about 6pm.
#3 labour started 4am.

**Glass half full** · June 15th, 2011, 05:16 PM

I noticed my waters leaking at about 2pm, but thinking back I think it was going on from about 9 that morning ever so slightly. Contractions started 9.30pm, DS born 7.58am

**Yael** · June 15th, 2011, 05:30 PM

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!
