Little over 2 my husband texted my sister at 1:40 saying we were going to start pushing DD was born at 4:17
-
@Foodnerd81: i feel you on the shock part!!
DD1: 45 minutes
DD2: 5-10? no one was counting, but it was freaking fast and i thought i was dying! -
I think my problem was I didn't really labor down then.. I was stuck in bed with IVs and what not so I couldn't really move around.
-
@Foodnerd81: she's here! Congratulations!!
-
I never made it to pushing. 57 hours to get to 4cm with a posterior ten pound baby.
Kinda wish I could experience it, but it's not in my cards. -
about an hour and a half.
-
@littlebug: To give you hope, I pushed for 3 hours with LO1 and with LO2 I pushed for 10 minutes.
-
DS (my only baby)... 20 mins. I labored down a long time waiting for my OB to get to the hospital. It would have been even less time, but I could not get him out because he had his arm up by his head. He was having major decelerations and not tolerating pushing at all, so my OB cut a huge episiotomy and then he finally came out! And when he was born he had that one hand up next to his head... and the other hand was hanging on to the umbilical cord, squeezing away! Possibly the reason for the decels? LOL.
Edited to add: my whole labor start to finish was about 6.5 hours, so a short labor seemed to correlate to a short pushing phase (at least for me).
-
2:45 for my first, it was the worst. My second fell out pretty much. I remember telling the nurse I though her head was coming out (epidural) and she said there's no way. But sure enough, they couldn't even call everyone else in who needed to be there, nurse/staff wise.
-
45 minutes. It would have been less but his head got stuck. Had to have an episiotomy in order to get him out.
-
#1 - 1 1/2-2 hours
#2 - I didn't even push, my body pretty must expelled her out like @anonysquire: said. It was the weirdest feeling, like I couldn't do anything to stop it. My body just took over. -
15 mins for each kid. 5 lb babies!
-
Something like 30 minutes. Entire labor was just over 2 hours. My doula was just pulling into the parking garage when LO was born.
-
2 hours.
-
Over 3 hrs until I had a csection.
-
20 minutes with both DS and DD
-
19 minutes & 4 minutes.
-
@PawPrints: hahahah late to the party!
-
3.5 hours for DD
15 minutes for DSI find the position of the baby makes a huge difference!
-
2 hrs with my first. 3 pushes for my second so like 10 min?
-
@snowjewelz: Yup! She's attended over fifty births and this was a first.
-
1.5 hours. After 30 mins they turned the epidural off. Probably would have been much quicker had I actually been able to feel something, anything!
-
about 30 minutes with LO1 and 2 pushes with LO2.
-
1.5 hours for LO1
Less than 5 minutes for LO2The second time pushing was a much better experience
-
DS1--20ish minutes, but they stopped me to wait for Doctor.
DS2--6 minutes.
-
20 mins
-
I pushed DS out by my 3rd set of pushes so <10 minutes?
Curious to see how long it'll take with DD!
-
Less than 10 minutes for both
-
3 hours for charlie but ended in c-section.
40 minutes for olive!
-
3 hours with my first
15 minutes with my second
2 minutes with my third -
45 minutes. My entire labour, from first contraction to birth was 2hrs 14 minutes.
-
2 hrs for E
G was a csection -
4.5 hrs. She eventually had to be vacuumed out.
My friend just had her first and only pushed for 30 min. I was pretty jealous. She said it was because her daughter was small, but my DD was the same exact size!
-
3 hours with my first. I also pushed for 3 hours with my second only to have the doctor inform me she hadn't moved at all. He said I could try for another hour but he didn't think it would be successful. So we did a C-section. It was brutal.
-
10-15 min. I felt the urge to push, and literally couldn't do anything but submit to that urge. Baby was in the perfect position, I guess.
-
2 hours with my first
13 mins with my 2nd. -
About half an hour, at the end of a 23-hr labor. They said I was a "good pusher".
-
1st- 3 pushes, less than 15 minutes
2nd- 3 pushes, less than 15 minutesSmall babies, 4 and 5 lb babies
-
Almost exactly two hours.
-
About 40 minutes. My midwives let the baby labour down on her own once I was fully dilated, so I think that helped prevent the need for hours of pushing.
