Ok, after so many responses I can't believe it took me 5 hours, and they let it go that long, and I had no interventions (forceps, etc)..... I was lucky it was slow in the hospital I guess! Yikes.
-
4 hours. After 2 hours of labouring down. That combined was exactly half my total labour. My OB would have been happy to let me continue pushing, as I wasn't tired, but baby was getting tired. So we decided to do a vacuum assist. She said I had really strong/tight muscles, and that it shouldn't take so long next time. Whew!
-
@littlejoy: same, both times, once I felt the urge to push I couldn't do anything but push. I can't imagine how people can labor down without pushing- but I've never experienced an epidural either. (Definitely no time for one this time!)
-
45 minutes. Longest 45 minutes of my life!
-
More than an hour longer than anyone has said so far.
After having been awake for about 36 hours. It sucked.
-
Half an hour I think? Midwives were telling me to wait for the OB to arrive...no such luck for them!
-
I think it was close to 2 hours. I started to feel the urge to push about 10 minutes after we got settled into the room. My sense of time was pretty fuzzy.
-
20 minutes!
-
There was no clock in the room, but I'd say it was about ten minutes. Seeing how long some of you pushed, I better understand my OB's reaction now!
-
@oliviaoblivia: same here! Failed induction that never got past 4 cm so no pushing. My OB does a ton of VBACs though so I'm curious if he'll think I'm a candidate to try for one because I really want that experience.

2 hours with LO1
1 min with LO2 -
45 min #1
4 min #2 -
3 hours, and ended in c section
-
@snowjewelz: 2 hours and ended in emergency c section
-
@snowjewelz: i pushed for 2 hours then my epidural failed and it took some time to fix. Then I pushed for 2 more hours.
-
15 min with K, and about 45 min with M. I found it strange that I pushed longer with baby #2.
-
2.5 hours then a c section because he just wasn't budging!
-
2 hours but in the second hour the baby hadn't moved and was stuck so I had a c section for my 9.14 baby. I also was induced and it took a whole day to get labour going and be fully dilated, but it did happen. I never felt the urge to push though and I hadn't had an epidural. Crappy that it all ended in a c section.
After having been awake for about 36 hours. It sucked.
