We went into hospital around 2am and DS was born 2 hours later, however looking back I think I may have been in labour since around 8pm. They broke my waters at the hospital after I arrived and I was already 8cm dilated, I was shocked as I thought for sure they would send me home because I thought I was going in too early! littleblessings on "Do most women go into labor at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-most-women-go-into-labor-at-night/page/2#post-1978055 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 02:58:49 +0000 littleblessings 1978055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Water broke at 3 am the with my first pregnancy and at 2 am with my second.

My water broke at 4pm which was when things got real serious. Delivered just after 5 pm..horrible timing because we got stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital and ended up at a closer hospital without my doctors or midwives. We were planning on going to the hospital overnight based on hearing the same information as you! 78h2o on "Do most women go into labor at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-most-women-go-into-labor-at-night/page/2#post-1977511 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:12:02 +0000 78h2o 1977511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I went into labor around 4pm Sunday and had my baby at 2:30 am on Tuesday. coopsmama on "Do most women go into labor at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-most-women-go-into-labor-at-night/page/2#post-1977452 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 16:37:29 +0000 coopsmama 1977452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Labor started naturally with me for my first (a boy) at about 6:30AM.

It supposedly is evolutionary because everyone would be out hunting and gathering during the day so our bodies started having babies at night when there would be other people around for help or something like that. mrsjyw on "Do most women go into labor at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-most-women-go-into-labor-at-night/page/2#post-1976586 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 09:10:23 +0000 mrsjyw 1976586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Early contractions started at 6am for me Mrs. Lovejoy on "Do most women go into labor at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-most-women-go-into-labor-at-night/page/2#post-1976585 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 09:09:54 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 1976585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Labor started at midnight, and I gave birth the following midnight!
