Did youe labour start in daytime or at night?

[mydisguise]

Im really interested to know who went into labour in the day and who at night.
With both my previous labours Ive woken up early hrs of the morning in labour so im not expecting to go into labour in the daytime.
also wondering if you had any signs before the first contraction came as again i woke up in labour so had no signs.
Im 2 days overdue now and both my other babies were already born by this stage so im expecting something different lol.

Both times were just minutes before we were about to go to bed.

[TheMuppetMuggle]

2am mine started no signs before went to bed which was about 11pm if i recall! woke up with what felt like tummy ache!

[TheUnsinkableMB]

I'd had a show during the day then woke up 4am with pains in my back, went back to sleep, then woke up around 8ish as the pains were getting slightly more uncomfortable, eventually had dd 9.30pm that night.

ds1 labour started 3.30am

I'm expecting this one to be the same so I could get a surprise lol!

[WombFor1More]

Labour started at about 7pm for me. Gave birth at 6.30 the next morning.

[Thankyouandgoodnight]

Labour started at 3pm with a bit of a faint twinge - established labour by 9pm and baby arrived 3:30am.

[PrettyCandles]

Nature says it is more likely to be at night in a dark and comfortable environment (your bed!)

But my first signs of being in labour were just before lunch with both of my pgs. Doesn't mean to say that my body wasn't actually in labour before that though IYSWIM.

Labour started at night, though did have a bombay bad boy pot noodle, with added hot pepper sauce and then nookie. I the constantly kept moving and hey presto contractions starte around 9pm.

Apparently most babies are born in the wee hours, I think it's where your relaxed at night and meant to be asleep!

By de by...the bombay and nookie worked both times to start labour at 39+1 and 39+2 with both DD's.

DS1- 3AM

DS2 - 9PM

So both at night

[bogie]

With ds it was about 10am just having a lazy morning watching tv in bed when it started

[ruddynorah]

1am in bed. woke with a big contraction, a pop, and my waters went.

[Ineedsomesleep]

Both at night

DS 3 am

DD 11 pm

[LenniEd]

6pm - although had been having mild contractions since 3am the previous morning - still swear I would have gone into labour then if I hadn't been stuck on an overcrowded AN ward due to ruptured membranes.

[notnowbernard]

DD1 - about 7ish in the morning
DD2 - about 5pm

[Nappyzoneneedsanewname]

Both of mine started at about 7.30 am just as dh was getting up. Convenitent little blighters

[Rohan]

Well I always expected to labour and birth in the night, but as it was I managed a daylight birth even in the depths of winter. Went into labour at 12noon and gave birth at 3pm

[nik76]

Woke up thinking well thats defo a contration at 3:40am - had a fizzy tummy when I went to bed DH said this was due to all the choc cake I had eaten!!!!

[PictureThis]

waters went at 10 am, contractions started 2pm, established labour 5pm

[ladytophamhatt]

All 4 started at around midnight.

ds1 was the only one who gave me twinges throughout the day before that but they were so mild I couldn't work out if i was imagining them or not.
I wenttop bed at about 10pm and woke at midnight needing the toilet. The proper pains started while I sat on the loo

[IdrisTheDragon]

DS - waters broke at 6:30 am. Contractions started properly at 6:45pm

DD - contractions started at 6:45am, just after I got up

[BecauseImWorthIt]

DS1 - started at 10.15pm, born 2.15am
DS2 - started at 6.00 am, born 9.15am

No signs of labour with either - both started with my waters breaking. Only difference was that with DS1 I didn't go into labour for another 10 days! (Most boring time of my life stuck in hospital - not even registering Braxton Hicks when I was monitored each day)
