I was induced at 41weeks. The cervidil didn't do anything so going from when they started pitocin (and they broke my water 30min after that) it was 13 hours start to finish. I was just a fingertip dilated and 50% effaced.

Hopefully #2 will be spontaneous and faster

I count mine as 23.5 hrs. My water broke at 4am & contractions started within the hour. They did continue to progress for quite a while, but then sort of tapered off. They talked about giving me pitocin, but fortunately I continued to dilate & contract again just before they did. I pushed for 1hr without much progress, so they made me rest for 1hr, then I pushed for 1 more hr & delivered at about 3:30am, thank god--they were talking about a c-section if I went past 4am. I didn't sleep through any of that, or until we left the hospital, even, really. I was so tired, but so thrilled to have my DD, I just couldn't take my eyes off her.

Ugh I kinda hate these threads! 41 hours. About 26 hours of back labor without epidural. Rest with epidural and ending with c-section.

Dd1- just under 5 hours
Dd2- 4 hours ( probably closer to 3 hours of active labour)

11 and 19

#1 - 36 hours
#2 - I was induced but from the first actual painful contraction to birth was less than 2 hours
#3 - hard to say, because labor was very bizarre and sporadic throughout the day but from the start of actual active labor to delivery was less than 2 hours

DD: technically 24 hours because my water broke but it was PROM. From active labor to delivery is was about 6 hours
DD: 3 hours from when I knew I was in labor to when she was delivered.

25 long hours! Ugh!

It depends on how you count it. It was about 63 hrs from the time they started the induction until she was born via c-section. I can't remember exactly, but I was having contractions and actively laboring maybe 30-ish hrs?

I didn't know it was actually labour with Georgia (because it was a bit early, I was a First Timer, and I was clueless)

I went to bed at like 7pm because I was uncomfortable.
I went to hospital at 2.30am because it was ramping up.
I was in active labour from around 7am that morning.
And I had her at 5.30pm the next day.

So I'd say around 22 hours, from start of cramps to end result.

#1 - The situation was a bit different, we were military and had an out of state Easter trip ok'd by my OB at 34 weeks. We spent a couple days with family and they all noticed that I was in pain, my MIL (at the time) took me to the emergency room where the checked me at 4cm, and kept me for five days in active but not progressing later. Tricare would not cover the birth if I were to leave that hospital and travel back to our home, nor would they cover any interventions, so I got a shot of morphine, and was sent home to my parents for 4 hours on the fifth day, returned and gave birth at 11:24am. He was perfect and we were released the next day. Fast forward 9 years later...

#2 PTL from 28 weekson, a magnesium drip and 48 hour stay, 2 rounds of kidney stones, and constant non-progressing labor and I was induced the day after my due date. I would say active labor (Induction To delivery) was 11am to 7pm.

#3 A few PTL scares, nothing major. She came five days early and I was in active labor from 8am until 4pm.
