So I left it open. I guess anything longer than the average 12(?) or so hours?</p> <p>@cyndistar3: that's encouraging to hear! Are you going to try for a vbac then? I'm curious to see what happens!</p> <p>@jedeve: wow, 3rd tri already! It probably feels longer to you though. Interested to see what happens for you as well! Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617200 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:32:13 +0000 coopsmama 1617200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I had a 36 hour labor with DS, too. It was excruciating and I was so exhausted afterwards. Nothing could have prepared me for that. </p> <p>I'm crossing my fingers that this upcoming birth is even just half as long. Preferably shorter than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617186 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:25:29 +0000 Arden 1617186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really hoping for a short labor next time. I'd even be happy with 15. Just please no 36 hour labor again, please... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617166 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:18:26 +0000 cyndistar3 1617166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: it actually wasn't, I had really bad back labor the whole time the first time and the second time even though the contractions started two minutes apart they didn't get painful until I was about to go into surgery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617146 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:08:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1617146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is considered long?<br /> My first labor was 16 hours (I was induced).<br /> My second labor, my DD was born less than 2 hours after getting to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617143 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:08:42 +0000 jedeve 1617143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: 29 w! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617140 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:07:33 +0000 googly-eyes 1617140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: wow! Was that hour way more intense than the lay labor though?<br /> @jedeve: how far along are you now? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617079 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:42:53 +0000 cyndistar3 1617079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first labor was 49 hours non-stop from beginning to birth. My second is hard to say since I had to have a c/s due to live being breech but I dialated from 1 to 7 in a little over an hour so I doubt I would have labored much longer. It makes me super curious how long it will be this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617067 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:40:41 +0000 jedeve 1617067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping for an easier labor with #2 too! Mine was 'only' 14 hrs, which I realize is pretty normal, but 3 hrs of that was pushing. I would like to not push again that long, please.</p> <p>I'm thinking that if my labor is shorter that I might be able to get through it naturally this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-long-labor-with-lo-1#post-1617057 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:37:43 +0000 googly-eyes 1617057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did #2+ take?</p> <p>I had contractions for a few hrs, then slowed/stopped for an hr, then for 2 more days until delivering my dd. My water didn't break and I think maybe that was why it took so long. Please tell me that's not likely to happen again!!! </p>
