Did you go into labor around the same time of day/night with each of your babies?

[1babysmom]

That's pretty much my question.

[34me]

Not even close

[4Blessings]

No.

4 babies and all started at various times.

But all of my babies were born on the same day of the week

[Peony]

Yes, 3 times. Every time I woke up in the early am between 4:30-5:30am with contractions.

[Harmony96]

Depends what you mean by "go into labor" lol.

With DD, my contractions started at about 10:30 a.m. and were 3-5 minutes apart from right then, all the way up until she was born at about 10:30 p.m. that same day. I had not been having any contractions except for the stray BH every now and then prior to her birthday.

With DS, I had been having WEEKS of prodormal labor, and contractions that HURT and felt real but they were random. Then sometime mid-morning the day before he was born, I was having contractions that didn't really physically feel any different, but mentally I sort of "knew" that they were real contractions. But they were about 90 minutes apart. They picked up in frequency to 5-7 minutes apart at about 6:00 p.m. and then he was born at 2:00 a.m.

So I'm going to say that my labor started at 6:00 p.m. w/ DS and 10:30 a.m. with DD.

No. Various times of day.

[major_mama11]

Yes, 2 pm for #1, around 4 pm for #2.

Except with #1, labor lasted 3 days, while w/ #2, it lasted only 10 hours.

[Astraia]

Yup. Both my kid were born at 40+2, on a Friday, with labour starting early Friday morning. Woken up at 3:30 am, on the dot, with both babes with a monster contraction, and then contractions coming every 5 minutes from there.

[Turquesa]

No. But . . . my two children were born three minutes apart on their respective birthdays. Strange!

[josie423]

Yes, both labors were eerily similar. I went into labor between 2-4 am with both, labors lasted about 12 hours, and dilation patterns were almost exactly the same (10 hours to 5-6 cm and 2 more hours until birth). Strange!

That is exactly like my last birth...3:30ish am on Friday morning, woke up with one big ctx and it continued from there. Naturally, that's what I picture happening again since it's been my only experience (I can't count DD1's induction), and it seems that going into labor at night is common, so I'm anxious to see what happens for me this time.

With my first 3 I went into labour late on a Monday eve and they were born on a Tuesday early.

With my 4th, I was so convinced that I would follow that pattern, I was only ever paying attention to labour signs on Mondays!

Turns out she decided to make her entrance on a Thursday and at a totally different time!

My only explanation is that we were living in another country and her time clock was all mixed up!

[lotusdebi]

I don't know when I went into labor, but both my kids were born at around the same time in the evening, and both were born at 39 weeks, 4 days.

[Jenivere]

Nope
1# 4:30 am
2# 11:30 pm
3# 6:30 am
4# 11:00 am

Three of four started on a Sunday.

[fruitfulmomma]

Not really... Two pairs were born on the same day of the week but my labors have ranged from 7 hours to 36 hours. First signs of 'true' labor were 6pm, 3-4pm, induction by arom @ 8pm, contractions picking by 6pm after doing some natural induction techniques earlier in the day, and noon after several rounds of prodromal labor and a membrane sweeping.

[Galatea]

My 2 non-induced births began on a Sunday, late at night. That is a pretty common time b.c you are relaxed from the weekend and middle of the night is a "safe" time to birth.

[jessymama]

Yes.
#1 water broke at 10am (born at 11.56pm)
#2 water broke at 11am (born at 2pm)

[limette]

Yup. 2 labours, both started around 5am, got to six around noon and both born between 5 and 5:30 pm. Both posterior, both due date babies.

The first was a c-section (I was at 10 just before they did it). The second a vbac after 2 hours of pushing, so I was actually at 10 about 2 hours earlier the second time.

If it goes the same this time, I'll know that I only have to make it until 5 and it'll all be over then...lol.

[maplesugar]

Actually the opposite. They were also born oppositely, ds around 1;00am; dd around 1:00pm.

[dannic]

Mine have all started at night and all three were born in the am
1st-10:30 pm-10:03am
2nd-midnight to 5:23
3rd-2:30-7am
