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.
How long were you in labor? Tell me about it.
I'm curious about the average length of labor that wasn't intervened with in any way.

I didn't vote since I'm not sure if you are also asking 2nd time moms, but for #2, it was completely natural... 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!

Under 6 hours from when I first woke up with contractions to delivery.

My first lo was completely natural and from the first twinge to baby on my chest was 48 or 49 hours with the second 24 being the actually painful hours.

@Arden: I was in labor for 9 hours. That's counting from the start of my first real contraction til the baby popped out.
