I pushed for exactly 2 hrs; she's my first.
My friend recently had her first too and only pushed for 20 minutes! So jealous!
-
4 hours combined, boo.
-
@youboots: what do you mean combined?
-
First - 3 hours plus
Second child - 3 pushes total -
I didn't push with either. Fetal ejection reflex.
-
I pushed for about 40 minutes.
-
Two hours for my first, less than 10 min for my second
-
@anonysquire: Dude, I could've so used that
-
@mrsjyw: So so glad to hear that!
-
DS 1: 5 hours
DS 2: 2 hoursUgh, everyone said second baby would come flying out, haha. 2 hours was WAY better than 5 though, and he was 9lbs 6oz.
-
2 hrs, 45 minutes.
4 pushes. -
@snowjewelz: I know I am very lucky!!!
For anyone that's curious what fetal ejection reflex is, watch at your own risk. Basically the baby practically jumps out.
-
DS: 20 minutes
DD: 9 minutes.My OB was very impressed with my pushing abilities, lol.
-
DD1- I think it was only like half an hour, but I needed a vacuum assist at the very end because her heart rate wasn't responding well.
DD2- 3 contractions total, so maybe ten minutes? It was crazy fast. Still in a little shock.
-
@Foodnerd81: wait what?! you had DD2?! when did that happen? I could have sworn you were still pregnant and posting this morning!
-
@Foodnerd81: Haha I kinda get that! It's like you just got ready to start pushing and then you're like wait what??
-
With dd1 - 2.5 hours (she was posterior which made it difficult). Eventually they used the vacuum and she came out the next push.
Dd2 was about 60 seconds. It was ridiculous and slightly traumatic The doctor almost didn't make it in time .
-
40 min for #1.
Curious about how this one will go. -
2 hours, her hand was by her face and she got stuck. They gave me an episiotomy and she popped right out.
-
2.5 hours for number one. Two or three pushes for number 2....so just a few min!
-
1 hour.
-
I think it was less than 20 minutes each time. I know how lucky I have been!
-
Two hours! Hope my experience for dd2 doesn't involve pushing for that long.
-
@hilsy85: last night! Like I said it was fast! Basically under four hours from "is this labor" to "here's your baby!"
-
@Foodnerd81: wowzers! congrats mama!!
-
3 hours. At the 2.5 hour mark the dr was getting concerned and gave me the option of vacuum, forceps or c-section. I chose forceps. It took about 20 minutes to set everything up and I kept pushing during that time. Another 10 minutes and he was out. The cord was around his neck and had two knots in it which was preventing him from descending completely.
-
Just under an hour.
-
I'm hazy remembering...30 mins or so? The dr said I was a good pusher...heh. The second (twins) only took a couple pushes.
-
1 push, they had me slow it into 3 (through 3 contractions).
-
DD1: 3 pushes, 6 minutes (but I had been laboring down at 10cm for 45 minutes)
DD2: 2 pushes, so a couple minutes? It was a fast labor in general. -
An hour exactly the first time, it would have been faster but she was sunny side up and the cord was loosely around her neck. About 10 minutes or less with the second. It was 10 pushes, so probably less. I asked to labor down for about 30 minutes first, with the first baby. With my second, I had pre-e diagnosed in labor, pitocin, and the epi failed, so once I hit that 10, I got her OUT.
-
3 hours. Hoping Babygirl comes a little faster.
-
4.5 hours
and I did labor down for an hour
ETA: but she came out! Sometimes baby just comes out slow -
1 hour, 35 minutes #1
45 minutes #2
15 minutes #3 -
@Foodnerd81: congrats!
LO1 - about an hour of pushing
LO2 - 2 pushes -
DD1 - 4 pushes...maybe 20 mins from my first "practice" push.
DD2 - due in March - praying for the same...
Epi had worn off and I felt it all - I think it was a huge help!
-
45 minutes- I blame the pitocin!
-
35 minutes with baby 1, about 10 minutes with baby 2. I can't imagine going for hours!
-
3 hours. Contractions slowed down and he was slightly turned/stuck. Luckily I had s great epidural. Hoping for an easier time with my second!
-
@hilsy85: My Dr said the same thing...though she also mentioned that she was annoyed I didnt give her enough time to change out of her clothes and into her scrubs! Whoops!
