I walked into the hospital at 9.5cm.. There was no time for anything... no IV or anything at all. From start to finish, it was 6 hours. But yes, she being my second baby had a lot to do with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-a-fully-natural-birth#post-579319 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:37:05 +0000 Boheme 579319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Commenting to follow :) Good thread! I'm interested to know too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-a-fully-natural-birth#post-579311 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:35:36 +0000 Arden 579311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By FULLY natural I mean no induction, no drugs of any kind, no epidural, no artificial rupture of membranes... just labor without interventions of any sort.</p> <p>How long were you in labor? Tell me about it.</p> <p>I'm curious about the average length of labor that wasn't intervened with in any way. </p>
