All of my kids came during daylight hours and only my middle daughter was induced after my waters broke the day before but labour didnt start.
My eldest was 2 weeks overdue, 2nd was 2 weeks early and the youngest was 1 week early.

I think i like a surprise 🙂

Could be interesting to know. Out of seven children none came for their due dates. Number one live birth was induced on his due date. Second came a week early and only lived about an hour. Next came late and i think being told my brother was to die brought him on that day. Next one was induced as the hospital had had enough of me coming in each week for a stay, good thing as he was due 24th Dec. Number five was two months early, she surprised them by only staying 2 weeks. Number 6 & 7 were early too, coming on number 4’s birthday. They were due 1st Jan, that one was put down to my age, being twins. So my natural born ones were afternoon babies about the 2pm mark.

Our first was well overdue and we were induced at 41 weeks, 2nd was 4 days early, then number 3 was 41 + a few days, babies really do come whenever they feel like it!

Interesting study – I love reading articles about research into births.

Out of 5 babies only 2 were born at approx. 6am, I wouldn’t have wanted to know when they’d be born as it would have made me more anxious especially knowing what I’m in for!

I think it would be handy to know the exact date of bubs arrival. I kinda like surprises

I wonder if this prediction would have been true.
I had my first at 3am at 37+3 weeks, my second at 10am at 40+2 weeks and my third at 5om at 41+2 weeks.

I had one at lunch time and one at 3am. This was an interesting read!

My first bub came a day early which I was happy about. I do like to know the exact date so that I’m prepared and try and be somewhere comfortable and close to the hospital.

I had emergency c section then planned c section so didn’t get to try this theory out.

I don’t fit these statistics. I went into labour with my first on her due date at 6am but she wasn’t born until nearly 9pm three days later, my second was 12 days over due and was born via emergency caesarean at 4pm after 49 hours of labour and my youngest came 4 weeks early at 3:30 pm.

I’m due Christmas so this is a good read! Even if it doesn’t turn out that way… Happy either way 🙂

I had all 3 of mine babies at 38 weeks ????

I love to Ben organised, so if I were to know the day and time it would be amazing! However, I ended up having. To be induced for medical reasons so we did get to pick the day in the end.

Not for me. 4 bubs without intervention and none were born during this time

The not knowing is part of the surprise

Yes I like things to be organised and hate surprises

No I don’t want to me because it will make me conscious and nervous so better be a surprise

I’d rather a surprise which I got….. two early mornings, one early afternoon and two night births. Mine were all natural births too.
