I've heard this is true, too, because most women's waters tend to break around 3am for some reason.....
I was induced, so...n/a

Started light contractions on a Thursday night around 8 pm. Contractions were strong (but not super painful by 11 pm. Painful by 4 am and went to the hospital at 8 am. Sadly, I was only progressed to 3 cm (!)
Didn't have my baby until 12:56 am....so I was in labor for what, 28 hours? Awesome.

I read about this in "Does Chocolate make sweeter babies?" 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.

Maybe? I didn't realize that my water broke until I woke up. I had a slow leak, so I have no idea how long I was leaking. I woke up around 7:30.

Nope. Labor started at 9:30 am for me. Baby was born at almost midnight.

I woke up around 7:00 a.m. with bloody show and some dull cramping at exactly 37 weeks. The cramping became contractions that I could time within an hour or two. They stayed no more than 4-5 minutes apart from the very beginning. DD was born at 12:45 a.m.

My water broke at 6pm, but I didn't start feeling the contractions until closer to midnight, even though I was apparently contracting when we arrived at the hospital at 8/8:30pm (we so quickly because I was only 33 weeks). C was born at 10:30 the next morning.

Labor started naturally with me for my first (a boy) at about 6:30AM. I had to be induced with my second, but both were born in the afternoon.

I was in early labor overnight but not ready for the hospital until the following afternoon. 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!

I voted other. 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!
