Labour & Time of Day

[Mango]

My midwife said that most women go into labour in the early hours of the morning but no one knows for sure why this is. Just wondering for those of you that already have lil ones, when did your labour start?

Was induced with prostoglandin gel to ripen cervix at 7pm on Thursday. Contractions started about 12am Friday morning. Waters broke by themselves at about 3am, put on pit that morning and was in active labor until about 2pm. Had DD1 at 3:30pm Friday afternoon.

Thanks ladies! I didn't realise the time between your show and labour was quite small. Well hope something happens on my end soon.
