This is for STMs or FTMs with outside babies who went into labor spontaneously. My dear friend and midwife rubbed my knee the other day and asked, "so what night are we gonna do this?" I asked her if labor is likely to begin at night, and she said it does seem more common. Now I'm curious! My first labor began at 2:45am, and both of my mom's labors began in the middle of the night as well. How about yours?

With my son contractions started at around 2 am.
DS2- I knew I was going into labor in the morning, painful contractions didn't start until afternoon and he was born just after midnight.
DS: noticed very light contractions around midnight, went to sleep, woke up at 5:30, realized they were the real deal, headed to the hospital and he was born at 11:22am.
