How long did you labor at home?

    I went in right away when my water broke, because I was not sure what it was. My contractions started just as I arrived at the hospital, which was about an hour after my water broke (we did not rush in).

    Not at all. My water broke both times several hours before contractions started.

    About 11-12 hours. We left when my contractions were lasting one minute about every 3-4 minutes apart. I was 7 cm when I got to the hospital. Hopefully my labor goes quicker this time.

    0 ... induced for #1 and #2 started having major contractions in a furniture store. Went home to get my bag, was at 8 by the time I got to hospital.

    From my first contraction... about an hour? Maybe hour and a half? She was born less than 3 hours after getting to the hospital.

    I'm nervous about this baby. I feel that was pretty quick for a first baby so I'm wondering how it will go with #2!

    I started getting contractions at about 4pm...? They got organized around 9pm and I went to the hospital at 2am at 2-3 min apart contractions. So I guess 5 hours of "labor" after the contractions were time-able and painful.

    My water broke at 10pm, and when I called the hospital they said to come in right away, and then wanted to monitor me for a bit and induce me in the morning but labour didn't start until 2am. I never had a single braxton-hicks or anything either, so I think if I ever have a contraction outside the hospital in future pregnancies I'll crap my pants a little bit.

    0 hours. I was bleeding a good bit, so they wanted me to come in as a precaution. Once I got there I started having contractions!

    About 40 hours. I went to the hospital about 30 hours in and was sent home because I was still only 2 cm. Stayed home about 10 more hours. Baby finally came at 51 hours.

    0 hours, due to induction. I wish I could have labored at home! Would have been better than being hooked up to that stupid machine.

    First time I was induced so I didn't. Second time it was probably around 26 hours until my water broke but most of that time were pretty easy and spaced contractions.

    I had a failed induction and actually convinced my doctor to send me home since it wasn't working after 2 days. I went into labor a few hours after being home and stayed home until i couldn't take it anymore... probably 6ish hours.
