Induction started at noon (I think) and I had a failed induction when I failed to dilate passed 6 cm. Babies were born at 4:40 and 4:42a.
I don't know if that means I was in any active labor. I had an epidural at 4cm (I think) and didn't feel any pain before or after the epidural. They think with me PPROMing at 28 weeks that my uterus was tired.
-
DS: 11 hrs from first contraction (prob when active labor started bc I don't even remember the mild early labor ones) to baby. Included 1.5 hrs of pushing.
DD: 3 hrs 45 min from when I realized I was in labor to baby. Included 2-5 pushes total.
-
About 2 hours.
-
I can answer this question as of today! Showed up at the hospital at 5:45 am, was ready to push at just before 1 pm, and baby arrived at 1:47
-
@MrsSCB: congrats!
-
36 hours of back labor. about 31 of that was active and about 10 of it was with an epidural.
-
@MrsSCB: yay! Congrats!!
DD1 total labor was about 25 hours- woke up with mild contractions. But they really didn't get intense and very painful until 9 pm, which is when I think active labor started. So is put it at 10 hours of active labor. Was only at the hospital for 4 hours or so before having baby in arms, I think I pushed for about 45 minutes.
DD2: so much faster!! Like less than 4 hours from, oh more contractions, just like every night, wonder if this is it? To baby in my arms. Was only at the hospital for about 45 minutes before she was born. Pushed maybe 3-4 times.
-
DS: went into labor Friday, DS was born the following Monday
DD: 8 perfect hours -
@MrsSCB: Congrats!!! But I hate you
21 hours for me.
-
@MrsSCB: Woohoo!! Sounds like it went great.
-
Induction at 37+2.
Started at 11pm on a Sunday, finally dilated to 10cm around 2pm on Tuesday. So that was like 39 hours? Pushed for 2+ hours. Finally had C section and he was born at 8:08pm on Tuesday.So from induction to baby born it was 45 hours.
-
Hard to say exactly. Induced with my first and it was a 3 day process. I had a few contractions overnight between day 2 and 3 but they petered out before starting Pitocin late in the morning. From start of Pit to birth was about 6-7 hours.
Contractions with my second started mid afternoon but not painful or consistent for a full 24 hours. Total from start of contractions was maybe 28 hours but painful contractions maybe 5 hours. -
Around 18 hours, I think, from the time I checked in at the hospital until Little CC was born.
-
@Bao:
#1: what i thought was my water breaking--> 13 hours till we went to hospital, still not really in labor, 27 hours at hospital to get to pushing, ended in cesarean.
#2: 5 1/2 days of prodromal labor, and about 4 hours from "this is labor!" to baby in my arms. I wonder if I knew better, would #1 have been the same time course with lots of prodromal labor first? -
If I count from the time I knew I was probably in labor to the time LO was born, it was about 11 hours. But active labor was more like 8 or so with close to 3 hours of pushing
-
@MrsSCB: congratulations!!!!
-
10 ish hours. Potocin started at ~6pm and she was born via emergency section at 4:32am, but I was complete and pushing at about 3:45am.
-
LO1--25-27ish hours? I don't really know when to start counting active labor as opposed to early labor contractions.
LO2- 2 hours. It would have been plenty of time, but the first hours was just cramping and I wasn't sure it was "real", and then the last hour was me driving myself home from work and then us going to the hospital just in time to push, so the end was dicey. I have a 1 hour commute though.
-
24 hours with my first. Pushing was 4.5 hours of that. It was about what I expected except thought pushing would be 1-2 hours.
-
Induction (at 41+1) start-to-finish was about 13 hours. Active labor (from when doctor broke my water) was about 6-7 hours, but I got an epidural an hour into that. I pushed for just shy of 2 hours.
-
around 24 hours? My contractions started when I went to bedaround 11pm. I didn't sleep the entire night while my husband snored right next to me. It carried on the next day. My contractions was 5 minutes apart at 3-4pm. I called my husband, who was at work, to come home and take me to the clinic. We were checked into the hospital at 7pm as I was banging my head on the handrails on the hospital bed. Had baby just passed midnight. Pushing took 1/2 hour.
-
Contractions started on a Wednesday morning (2 am)....ended with a c-section on Thursday at 1:30 pm

-
About 41 hours from "yep, this is real" to baby. The first 12-14 hours was very inconsistent though -- I'd have a handful of close, strong contractions, and then they'd taper off for 20-30 minutes before picking up again. 27-28hours of consistent, active labor, including 5+ hours of pushing.
-
From first contraction-
DS: 2hr20min
DD1: 14hrs (slightly posterior and chin deflexed)
DD2: 50minutes -
18 hours of labor before deciding on a c section.
-
About 20 hours, ending with a c section. No telling how much longer it would've taken if her heart rate had been normal.
-
Both my labours were 12.5 hours from first sign to birth. With #1 the first sign was contractions and second was my water breaking with no contractions. Active labour was 4.5 hours and 2 hours and 10 mins.
-
10ish hours for my first.
45 minutes with my 2nd. -
Induction started around midnight. Labor started at 2 and she was born by 4:30
-
27 hours, with 33 minutes of pushing. Serious contractions started at 1am at 40w+7, finally had her at 4:30am at 40+8. I was TIRED.
-
22 hours but the first 8 I was at home and totally fine.
-
DD1 - 15 hours, 1.5 pushing, spontaneous labor at 38+1
DD2 - 4 hours, 3 pushes, induced at 38+5 -
It was 36 hours from when I was admitted to the hospital to lo being born for an induction at 37 weeks (low fluid, but lo was still high/cervix was closed), though in the end I only pushed for 20 mins. timeline went something like this--
2pm admitted
6pm cervidil started
6am cervidil taken out, hadn't done anything
7am pit started
11am ish nothing happening, I'm still like 3 cm, insert foley bulb which is super painful/uncomfortable. the nurses and midwife all joke that I'm smiling too much
3pm? contractions start geting painful
5pm or so I ask to be checked again bc this is getting real! I decide that if I'm not close then I'll get an epi...aaaand I was only FOUR cm. Epi it is!
7pm epi inserted, I take a glorious nap
12am I'm at a 10! yay! Midwife says they'll come back in awhile, let me labor down for a bit longer...
1:45am they come back and I start pushing...I push for 20 mins before lo is born! -
28 hours with LO1 and 4 hours with LO2 (from start of first contraction until delivery). I pushed for 2 hours with LO1 and only 15 minutes (or less) with LO2.
-
31 long hours from first back contraction until he was out.
-
Water broke at 10pm, first contraction hit hard at 2am, got to the hospital by around 9-10am, spent the afternoon in a lukewarm tub, finally caved and got an epidural at 7pm, started pushing a little after midnight, baby was born at 1am.
So, 17 hours of unmedicated labor followed by 6 on an epidural for a total of 23.
-
13 hours from the first contraction to the actual birth.
-
DD - 31 hours of labor, 6+ hours of pushing. Ended in c section.
DS (5 weeks ago) - 6.5 hours of labor, 20 minutes of pushing. VBAC
-
#1- contractions started at 4am Wednesday and she was born 2:26am Friday. So...46 hours?
#2- water broke at 3am, but contractions didn't start until 4:30pm, he was born at 10:57pm- so active labour was about 6.5 hours. -
I don't really know when to start counting since I was induced.
Checked in at 8pm, officially started induction around 1am, pushed out DD at 11pm.
