What time did you go into labour?

[Mommabear20]

Just that really! I'm currently 37+6 and have read that most babies are born at night so got me wondering what time most people's labours started.
Go...

Midnight.. waters broke and contractions started about half hour later.. kind of knew it was coming as the mucus plug had been coming out!

I went into labour at 5am and gave birth at 8:17am. I also had a good few hours sleep beforehand 🥳

Waters broke midnight. Contractions started about 4am I think then born 10pm the next evening.

Contractions started around 4:30pm DD was born at 9:25pm x very quick for a first one apparently?!

1pm on the Thursday then born at 6.50am Sunday.

DC1: 5:30am exactly - born at 4:10am the next day
DC2: 5:30am exactly again - born at 4:10pm the same day. They both weighed exactly the same as well (11lb 2oz) both were sections.

Other than that nowt alike

7.15am, 5 minutes after partner left for work 🙈
Baby born 9.38am next day by emcs

Contractions started around midnight, no coming on slowly, they started at every 10 minutes. Waters went 20 hours later. 24 hours after that I was taken into hospital to get things sped up, DS born the next morning. So baby born 56 hours after contractions started.

My first was induced but with the second my waters broke at 11pm, about ten minutes after I'd got into bed. DH had spent hours working on a work presentation for the next day and just settled down with a whisky....had to pour it back in the bottle and whisk me off to hospital (gave birth at 6.30am)

12.30am, first twinge. Contractions started coming thick and fast after that. Born at 4.30am same day

Around 8pm, gentle start though. He was born at 9am.

11.30pm - woke up in labour, DS born 6.35am. Home by 12.20pm next morning. The same again this time would be great, DS would hardly miss me!

Woke up to contractions at 6.30am.
Waters broke at 5.30pm.
Daughter born 3pm the following day.

Went into labour at 6pm, born at half 3 in the morning

Waters went 02:30am. Born 04:30am exactly the next day! Reading with interest as currently 39 weeks pregnant with No.2!

DC1 - 5pm
DC2 - 10pm
DC3 - 7pm

Well newsnight had just started...

I think most babies are born at night/wee small hours. I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

First at midday, second 2.45 am, third 8.30 after 40 minutes labour. All of mine came early so I’m not sure if that makes a difference.

12am after a grand total of 20 minutes sleep, she was born 8 hours later. My waters had already gone in the morning so I was on my ball for ages trying to get things started before I went to sleep, DD was awkward all the way through and still is now and kindly waited until I'd just nodded off

7.20pm. She was born at 5.06pm the next day.

3am Thursday with DD, contractions every 10 mins, then every 5, then every 3... For two full days. She was born 3pm Saturday!

So many seem to be late at night/early morning. My best friend was midnight and another friend 7.30am. I’m having a planned section so really don’t want it to happen early.. the people with 4 hour labours are terrifying me in case I don’t make it in time 😂

1st - Labour started 3am, baby born 2:57am 2 days later
2nd - Labour started at 9pm, baby born 4:02 the following morning

Just after lunch, around 1.10pm, baby was out in 90 mins
Evening, just after 7pm, baby was out in 2 hours 45 mins, slower than the first one because back to back.
Just before lunch, around 11am, baby out by midday.
