What Time Did Your Labour Start???

[Crystalwings]

I'm hopeful that after weeks and weeks of pre labour that something could be happening. Getting lots of painful BH contractions but nothing regular still. I have also been doing lots of accupressure and getting some results from this.

Anyway i'm curious to know what time you went into labour? Do most people go into labour at night?

Last time for me my waters broke at 11pm and started getting contractions at 12am.

With no1 contractions started at 5am (well thats when I noticed)

With no2 I felt strange the day before and had some bleeding and went to the hospital where my waters broke at 530am and contractions started straight away then.

I had no prelabour, woke at 1am, water instantly broke, contractions started about 30 mins later.

Around 7-8am contractions began, waters didn't break till right before she was born which was just after 6pm.

Both of mine at night. DD - first contraction around 10pm, waters didn't break until around 4pm (very slow ramp up!!), DD born 5.45am. Loooong labour!

With DS, first contraction 3am, waters broke 8am, DS born 9.20am.

Nice and quick

Apparently the hormones that start labour are strongest at night, so most women go into labour at night!

Labour started at 7pm, waters broke 15 hours later with Moo.
