I was nearly 39 weeks when my waters broke at 2.40am. Kind of felt like a cork was popping and then just a lot of water soaked me and my side of the bed. Didn't quite reach hubby.

My waters went in a terribly undramatic fashion at 40+7 (odd how they don't call that 41!) so slow they weren't sure they had really gone at the hospital but booked an induction for 48hrs anyway. Then I had first contractions in the early hours of the next morning, told OH to finish work at lunchtime by which time it had all stopped again, nothing till 4am when it started again but all stopped by lunch again and ended up being induced at 9pm, 2 and half days after waters broke!

I had to be induced at 11 days overdue and Bethany arrived early hours of the 12th day. I had the pessary at about 11:30am and within 10 mins I was climbing the friggin wall (excuse my french!!), I'd had a severe reaction to the gel so was in so much pain and this pain then led into contractions although I couldn't say when these started because of the pain from the reaction to the gel.

Trampolines done work I spend days on mine lol oh and the full moon was last weekend so no warewolf baby lol!

Tommy my waters broke at 10pm contractions started at about 1:30am and he was born at 4:17 am.
Charlie contractions started at 5:30 am he was born at 3:13 pm the same day.

I think it is most common for labour to start while your at home relaxed!

You know i had sections with both..... with Isla it was an emergency, but before that my waters did go with a huge gush at midnight whilst in hosp!

Get out dexter NOW!!! xxx

with Lewis I woke to pains at about 7am, had him at 17:59

With Hayden, I woke at 7am with back ache, he was born at 11:46am

All started as day labours, Owen decided to drag it out and come in the night

My contractions started at 11pm and i gave birth at 12.40pm the next day x

with leo i was induced and full blown labour started about 3:30pm and i had him at 9:27pm
with oliver my contractions started at 6am but when i got into hospital at 1:30am(following morning) i was still only 3cm, but it kind of spend up from there and i had him at 9:32am

i have heard though that between 2am and 4am is most likely x

My waters went at about 11am on sunday 2nd nov. was contracting all the way though the 3rd and was in established labour by 5pm on the 3rd so defo a daytime! gave birth at 2am on the 4th.

Wil started making his exit in the early hours of a Wednesday morning, wasn't what the MWs call labour though just didn't feel right.

By 11pm that evening he had decided that he didn't fancy coming out and hung on for dear life. He was forcibly evicted at 6.12pm Thursday evening via the sunroof

I heard somewhere that it was to do with our animal instincts, animals tend to give birth in the dark/night time, because in the wild thats when there would be less predators around.

My waters broke with Alfie at 10am on the Sunday morning and I had him at 2.06am on the Tuesday morning!!
