One of the biggest factors for determining a healthy mom and
child is timing of childbirth. Like other day-active species,
humans give birth most often at night. Nighttime labor and
delivery offers four specific benefits for pregnant women,

less labor, less bleeding, and fewer complications. In addition,
their babies are found to be in better shape. Paul Chek, author

women experience less childbirth pain at night. When did you go
into labor? What time was your baby born? And how was your
birth?
