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.
5am with first contraction.
Water didn't break until nearly 12 hours later.
DD1 waters broke at 8:30pm contractions started around 20 mins later
DD2 waters broke at 8:20am contractions started around 20 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 :D
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.
2am for me!
My waters broke at 9.20 am and contractions didnt start till 11 am then i was induced and gave birth 9 hrs later!
DJ- 7am waters broke 27hours later (9am the next day!) born 12:50pm
vic- 3am. waters broke at 4:40. born at 4:43!
Does being induced count? if so, 9am for both ;)
DS1 - Waters broke at 3am getting out of bed to go and pee, contractions started straight after.
DS2 - First contraction at 6:30pm, an hour after I had changed my FB status to say I was fed up with being pregnant and had given baby it's marching orders! Waters were broken 9 hours later by my midwife in hossy (with my consent) as an attempt to speed things along (It worked as DS2 was born 1 hour 10 minutes later!)
6:24am my water broke with DD then contractions began at 7 minutes apart and I was holding her at 1:58pm the same day :)
Waters broke at 8:05pm while driving home from yoga, ctx started 45min after that at home, 5 min appart, got to hospital a bit over 45min after that as there wasn't any room and we had to wait to see where they could fit us as we were only 33 weeks and couldn't go to the hospital we booked into or the alternative PH needed to be 34 weeks to go there. Got to Women's Assessment and ctx were three min appart, internal at 10pm by my OB and was 7-8cm :o !! Bubba girl arrived at 10:37pm infront of a cast of many :lol:
DS waters broke @ 30 weeks at 7pm, and cx not long after, but was stopped by hospital until 32 weeks, then induced.
DD - It hasnt YET:wall::wall: Lol will let you know ;)
I was in prelabour from 35 weeks. My waters broke at exactly 38 weeks at 1:50am and contractions didnt start until 5am.
Lost my plug and contractions started about 9pm, more active labour started at 6am
DD waters broke right on midnight and constant contractions started 10 mins later
DS constant contractions started at about 830pm
no pre labour
Water's broke at 9.30pm, contractions started shortly after.....26hrs later DD was born :)
DD1 - Prelabour of consistent contractions from early Friday morning. Painful contractions that were 10 mins apart started at 4am on Sunday, had a show at 9am on Monday and had AROM about 2pm, epidural at 5.30pm and DD1 was born 8pm. Loooong exhausting, painful labour with a baby that was posterior.
DS - I was induced at 38 weeks - took 3 days to work and that is a whole other story.
DD2 - Prelabour for 2 weeks. Booked for a c/section at 38 weeks due to baby being footling breech. Woke up at 2.45am on the morning of my c/section with first contraction. Wasn't sure it was labour. Sat on couch for the next 20 mins trying to work out if it was true labour. Two more painful contraction in that time. Decided to have a shower to see if they went away. Contractions got worse in shower. Arrived at hospital 45 mins after my first contraction to find I was 9cm dilated. Labour was stopped and emergency c/section carried out.
This baby - prelabour since 33 weeks. Currently 37 weeks and no idea when he is planning to make his appearance but it better not be in the middle of a cyclone.
with my DS2 - first cx and 8.45am on the first day of school for my twins- oops
they were 2 mins apart
waters broke at 2.40pm that day and i had him at 2.54pm

Midnight with all 3!!! and they were all born on the 9th of the month..freaky
waters broke at 5.40pm, contractions started pretty much then, but didn't get really bad until around 1am ... bubba didn't come for 3 days, though!!

Waters broke at 4.30 am on Boxing Day, contractions didn't start until 4.30pm that afternoon and DS made his appearance 9 and 1/2 hours later.
