I pushed for an hour and 45 minutes with A, hoping it's much less this time!
-
3 hours.
-
6 minutes
-
Right around an hour. Ugh pushing was so much more exhausting than I was expecting.
-
1 hour
-
3 hrs with my first, 15 mins with my second!
-
2 hours
13 mins -
@lawbee11: I know! I never imagined it was going to be that hard, it was horrible for me.
-
Almost 2 hours. I'm hoping it's a lot less with Baby #2.
-
Longer than an hour and a half. I know my water broke 1.25 hours before I delivered.
-
45 minutes. Dr. and DH later said they could see the head after the first five minutes or so. I probably could have been done sooner if I just accepted that it would be painful.
-
3 hours before my C-section
-
1 hour!
-
10ish minutes
-
A little over 3 hours with #1, it took me a while to get it figured out. I was a rotten pusher, I hated holding my breath. I reallllly don't remember much of it though, thinking of it now felt like 20 minutes.
@mrs. wagon: @chopsuey: I LOOOOOOVE your answers for #2!
-
15 minutes... LO wanted out.
-
Maybe 15-20 minutes? Probably 10-ish pushes in total.
-
Ehh, about 5 minutes.
-
@lemondrop: I hated holding my breath too because I had such bad reflux I couldn't make it the full counts without throwing up.
-
maybe 10 minutes? I pushed him out on the 3rd set of pushes.
-
between 15-20 mins. Way faster then I thought.
-
@rattles: @Mrs. Sunshine: Impressive! I hope I get that lucky this time around!
I pushed for 45 minutes with DS. It was technically longer than that I guess but I don't count it since I couldn't feel anything and it was only a couple pushes so I had them turn the epidural off and they came back later when I could actually tell my butt from my head.
-
Zero minutes. Emergency c-section.
-
45 minutes. Would have been less, but they made me stop twice. First to get the doctor in the room, then to get the doctor gloved up.
-
Two hours...
-
@Alivoo01: 3rd set of pushes for me too!!!!
-
A few seconds? Just one push
-
I pushed for an hour.
Even med-free, I couldn't figure out how to work those muscles, so only like every 5th push was actually productive XD It's not something you can practice!!
-
Two hours. The epidural wore off around half an hour in, I was alternating between getting oxygen and throwing up between pushes, and I got zero relief from pushing (like most women seem to get)....the sledgehammer back pain just wrapped around my hips, down my groin and into my thighs.
-
@chopsuey: @mrs. wagon: you're angels. I hope to all that is holy to follow in your er, footsteps.
3 hours with DS.
-
3.5 hours. I wanted to die.
-
15 mins from practice to baby. Only about 5mins of those were with my OB. I did have to have an epistemology, but only because his head was sideways and she said I would tear anyway if I tried to push through it.
-
5 hours.
Definitely hoping to go faster did we have another!!!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: At the end of my 2nd set of pushes, my OB told me if I didn't push him out with the next set of contractions, she was going to give me an episiotomy. I was like EFF THAT!! HECK NO!! So I pushed with all my might with the next contraction and out he came.
What happened to pushing as long as I wanted/needed to given no problems?!
-
10 minutes!
Glad i worked out all of pregnancy...not. i never exercised -
@MusicaV: Bahaha I pushed for 3 hours but her head was visible pretty much the whole time. I just didn't want to experience the ring of fire! Hopefully this time it'll be much shorter and I won't drag it out.
-
@Alivoo01: Wow...so you were only pushing a few minutes? And she said that?!
-
maybe 3 minutes. not long
-
@mrs. wagon: that's encouraging!!! Did you have an epi with either?
I pushed for 2 hours, 2 minutes.
-
2.5 hours after 22.5 hrs of labor with an epidural that wore off. Fun!
