After all of my guessing, my labor timing was almost the same the second time around. LO2 was born this past Sunday (!) and like with LO1, I noticed distinct labor symptoms in the early morning hours. This time, I had a strong pain around 10:00pm the night before, slept from about 11:00pm-1:30am, and just knew that I was in labor when I woke up to use the bathroom. Again, I was in complete denial but long story short, we were off to the hospital around 4:00am and LO2 was born shortly after 8:00am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626685 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:38:10 +0000 Alba4 2626685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Labor started at night both times and both boys were born in the early morning (4:04 and 7:55 am). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626626 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:34:25 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2626626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12:30 a.m. I didn't realize it was labor until about an hour later though. Contractions started at about 15 minutes apart for about the first hour and a half then started coming closer together and stronger. I got out of bed around 2 and labored in the living room. I ended up with a c section at about 8:45 pm that night (due to lo's heart rate dropping with each contraction). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626617 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:25:22 +0000 kodybear 2626617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD - 5am and water broke while sleeping. delivered early afternoon.</p> <p>DS - contractions started around 6pm and ramped up in the late night. delivered early morning</p> <p>pretty different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626599 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:11:07 +0000 CoffeeMom 2626599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD, my water broke around 9 pm. Contractions started an hour afterwards. With DS, water broke around 10 pm. Contractions started about 2.5 hours later, and were immediately 1-2 minutes apart. Much faster labor with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626506 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:06:39 +0000 Cole 2626506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I genuinely had zero early labor signs and went into labor at 1:15 am, by 2 transition started. It was a pretty fast first labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626500 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:54:42 +0000 MrsKoala 2626500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1: 9:30 am<br /> With LO2: regular contractions began around 8 am. Before that they were very sporadic so I don't count those as part of labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626415 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:56:19 +0000 MrsBrewer 2626415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My timeable contractions started Wednesday morning around 10AM lasted all day and through the night. Then they started getting a little painful around Thursday at 5AM. Went to the hospital at 7AM Thursday, had them break my water at noon, hard labor pains then, and finally had DD at 11:10PM Thursday night. I was exhausted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626410 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:49:19 +0000 Periwinkle 2626410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, all! It's so funny to see how varied everyone's experiences are. I'm convinced this one is going to be a very fast labor and delivery so am trying to keep my eyes open for the early signs and not ignore it like last time. </p> <p>@Pumuckl: Your experience with your second sounds almost identical in timing to my first. When I woke up at around 2:30am I tried so hard to keep myself busy- took a warm shower, dried my hair (who does that in labor?!), and decided I needed to eat a bowl of cereal. I did not want to wake my husband until I knew something was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626375 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:25:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2626375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 6pm... I think I got to 3cm around noon and got epidural around then. I started pushing at 9pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626323 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:35:55 +0000 catlady 2626323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke right as I was waking up for the day, I think around 7am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626277 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 07:30:56 +0000 pastemoo 2626277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: 4am and 4am was the start of prodromal for each, but with #1 i thought prodromal was it, born 7 41pm the next day, with #2, born 2:33am 6 days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626269 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 07:24:21 +0000 maddyz 2626269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 water broke at 5am and contractions started, but it took a long time for things to really get coming, baby 24 hours later.</p> <p>Lo2 a week with lots of pre labor and several times I thought things might to really starting, but no.

They weren't painful but they were timetable and felt stronger than BH I had been having. I continued going about my day and timing them and about 4pm they were at 5-1-1 and starting to ramp up. We went to the hospital and I delivered at 4:00am. It was almost 24 hours of labour but it wasn't bad at all when I was home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626233 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 05:44:31 +0000 fancyfunction 2626233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both times around 6am </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626232 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 05:41:07 +0000 avivoca 2626232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 6 Pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626227 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 03:51:40 +0000 AprilFool 2626227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 6pm both times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626226 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 03:09:26 +0000 Kemma 2626226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overdue with both babies and both labours started at around 0500-0600. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626205 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 01:20:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2626205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two spontaneous labors (and one induction). One started at 3 am and one started at 5 pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626204 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 01:17:47 +0000 Pumuckl 2626204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1 I had the first contractions at 4am, I woke my DH at 5am because then I was sure it was the real deal, mind you I was 41+2 so not too much guessing necessary. By 10am he was born.<br /> With LO2 I noticed light contractions at around 10/11pm. I was sure it was nothing since I only was 38+3. By 2:30am after a really long hot shower didn't make them go away I was pretty sure I was in active labor. We went to the hospital at 6:30am and it took until 1:40pm until baby was there. (Although at 1:10pm I was still only 3-4cm, so it went very quickly after that).<br /> So overall my labors were completely different except for the fact that transition/pushing is really fast for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626198 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 00:35:45 +0000 MrsB2012 2626198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd1 - water broke at 8am, but it wasn't an obvious break and I wasn't sure. I was sure around 9/93am when contractions stated. They were intense right off the bat. (37w5d)</p> <p>Dd2- cramping started late morning but it wasn't anything obvious. They turned to obvious timeable contractions around 2pm (37w1d) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626191 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 00:04:57 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2626191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke at 4am. Contractions started within 30 min, but were inconsistent after a few hours. Delivered LO @ 3:30 next am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-daynight-did-your-labor-start#post-2626189 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 00:01:28 +0000 sandy 2626189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One day after my due date I felt so awful - like I was coming down with the flu or something - my body was just so tired and achy and I felt terrible. My OB had tried to schedule an induction for the next day but I asked for a few more days to see if she would come on her own and I seriously regretted it! But I went into labor later that night around 2am and headed to the hospital later that morning </p>
