So.... just pondering..... i thought most women went into labour spontaneously during the evening. I keep going to bed expecting tonight to be 'the' night. Maybe because my last labour started at 1am, or maybe because i heard that most start at night.... So just wondering if it is an old wives tale or not?
If you went into labour naturally what time of day did it all start?
Both of mine I had my show in the morning (10am and 8am) then prelabour started straight away. Established labour started early afternoon.
My midwife reckons most labours start in the middle of the night because that’s when people are most relaxed. :D
DS1 – 12:30am
DD – 5am
DS2 – 1:30am
Similar to meow; contractions kicked off slowly around 8am and was in established labour by lunchtime, DD born just after 6pm.
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).
5am for both.
My midwife also told me the same thing about being relaxed at night :)
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.
:lol: Well there goes the middle of the night theory!
Cheshire- i heard today was a good day to have a baby. ;)
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 :D
DD1 waters broke around 4am.
DD2 noticed first contraction around 4am.
So same time for me for both girls.
DS - afternoon
DD1 - early evening
DD2 - early hours of the morning
DS2&3 - show in the morning established labour around midnight
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 :p
Not long to go now JM!!!
Today IS a good day to have a baby. xx
JM happy due date :D
Both were 4am for me.
Today is when all the coolest people are born :p
DS1 - waters broke at 5am. Born about 3 days later
DS2 - waters broke at 5am. Dragged out the sun roof about 12 hours later.
Water broke at 6:24am and had DD in my arms before our Midwife finished her shift :)
