I headed to the hospital around 3:30 but didn't get there until around 4:45 due to bad traffic. So I labored for about ten hours before getting to the hospital. I went from 4-5cm dilated at 3:30 (at the doctor, they told me to come in when the contractions were about 5 minutes apart) to about 6cm when I got to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-labor-at-homeon-your-own#post-314233 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:11:43 +0000 pinkcupcake 314233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke and I went to the hospital immediately after that so no laboring on my own at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-labor-at-homeon-your-own#post-314227 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:10:56 +0000 littlecasita1122 314227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My early labor started around 7AM but I didn't start timing contractions until 11ish. I actually had a weekly doctor's appointment that day, so I still went but was only 2 cm dilated at that point. We went back home after the appt and the pain started to get bad around 4ish. We headed to the hospital at 8:30pm. I was 4 cm then so they admitted me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-labor-at-homeon-your-own#post-314204 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:02:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 314204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My contractions started out like 20 minutes apart at around 7am (or at least, that's when I couldn't sleep through them) and slowly got closer together and more intense as the day went out. I went to the hospital around 11pm when they where 4-5 minutes apart, 1 minute long for over 2 hours. I was sent home around 1am because they STOPPED when I was in L&amp;D. I labored at home for another 2-3hrs (bad, bad pain) before I insisted on going back to the hospital. </p> <p>So altogether somewhere around 18 hours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-labor-at-homeon-your-own#post-314163 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:56:03 +0000 mamimami 314163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I labored at home from around 1 pm to 330 am.
