I was just thinking today that most babies I know were born in the evening/overnight hours. I know there are evolutionary roots that led to this being the case historically, but I was just wondering if this is still the norm now. My LO was born at 9:26 pm and I'm wondering about everyone else.
So, what time was your LO(s) born? I've included a poll with multiple voting options for those with more than one LO.

J was born right before 8am but I was induced so mine wasn't 'natural'

11:33 pm. When I was pushing it became a guessing game if he would be born on the 17th or 18th.

Not too shabby since my water broke at 2pm 
It probably would have been about 2 hours sooner but my epi slowed things down, thank goodness!!

Pretty darn good considering I was induced just 12 hours earlier.

I have no idea...somewhere between 2 and 3 am? I wasn't conscious.....I should ask his ped if she has that on record!

12:46am. 46 minutes after evil MIL's birthday. I stalled at 4-5 centimeters for like ten hours.....I think my body was subconsciously preventing them being birthday twins.

So interesting!!! It seems like everyone I know IRL has had their babies in the evening or early hours of the morning, but here on HB, it sounds like an awful lot of babies were born during normal day time hours. I don't know why I find this stuff fascinating, but I do!
@sorrycharlie: aww, almost birthday time twins! I think I remember thinking that when you announced that your LO arrived - our clever girls must have been on the same wavelength in wanting to arrive after dark, but before it got too late!
@oliviaoblivia: That is hilarious! And I bet your evil MIL has chalked that up as another reason to continue being evil. I can just see the thought process now....."hmph, selfish girl won't give me a grandchild on my birthday, how very rude of her!! At least now I am justified in being a complete B all the time!" Oh mothers in law....gotta love them!
