What time of day did your labour start?

Yep... another question I'm afraid ;)
A lot of the posts I read seem to mention going into labour in the early hours of the morning. Is this usual?

I had DC3 on Saturday morning!

Started on Friday afternoon, but at the time just thought more BH.

Only when I went to bed at 10pm and they didn't stop did I even consider it might be it! Made decision to go to hospital at around 3am, and left house at around 4am (had to wait for someone to come and babysit!)

He was born at 6.43am! So yes nighttime!

had a show 8am. first pains about 2pm. Baby was born 9pm.... the next day!!!

Woke up at 6.30am contractions two mins apart.
DD born 6.36pm that evening.

DC1 waters broke Sat at 6pm, born Mon 2.50am

2nd DC labour pains started 7am Sun, born Mon 2.43am

Woke up with mild pains and waters breaking 6am, went back to sleep until 11am (very mild pain!) More waters at around 5pm and baby arrived 6.30pm.

So not night time for me.

Woke at 4am, threw up four times and contractions went straightaway to intense.

DD born later at 1527 by emergency forceps due to being stuck, think she would have been a fast birth if her head hadn't been side on.

dd1 - can't recall when it "started", several days of ramping up during the day only to fade away during the night.

dd2 BH all evening, turning gradually to proper cntractions 2am-ish, had her 9am - no sleep at all that night. Didn't bother me though - lovely birth!

Waters broke at 3am on the Thursday morning. DD appeared finally at 12.48am on the Sunday morning.

DS started at 5am - born 6.20am
DD started at 4.30am - born 6am

I pop 'em out at speed!

DS started at 5am - born 6.20am
DD started at 4.30am - born 6am

I pop 'em out at speed!

Sorry! Double post! x

DD started at 10am, with contractions starting at 5 minute intervals. Born 7pm same day.

Had both of mine at about 10-11pm at night.

ds1 started labour at 4am
ds2 increasing contractions over couple of days, went to hospital 8pm had him 10.40pm. (home at midnight!)

waiting for dc3 as 38 weeks...

dd - 11pm ish - waters broke an hour before born 7.40am
ds1 -2am but it all stopped by midday that day and then started again the next day around 5.30am born 3.25pm
ds2 5.30 am - again waters broke first before any pains started born 9.30am

With DS started having pains early afternoon, around 1pm I think, walking round a furniture shop as we were buying a new sofa

Definite contractions by 4pm, hospital at 10.30pm. They broke my waters at around midnight. He came at 12.33pm by emergency section.

So no night time start for me!

With this one having ELCS so won't be doing that again!
