I thought 15 minutes but DH said half hour. Either way it was just 3 or 4 pushes. I hope its the same this time!

I'm jealous of all of you who pushed less than 30 minutes!

1 miserable hour! Pushing was so much harder than I expected! I kept asking if they could vacuum her out and how much longer it was going to take.
1 hour is nothing compared to some of these, but it felt like forever, and I really hope next time is shorter! In relation to my entire labor it was a huge percentage of the time!

A little over 2 1/2 hours. I had an extremely quick labor before this and the pushing was definitely the hardest part for me.

2 hours and LO didn't move even a centimetre. Thank goodness for c-sections.

I started pushing at 9:15pm and he was born at 9:36pm so only 21 minutes it went so fast
@Mrs. Champagne: @LovelyPlum: you guys never know this was my first baby and natural and the pushing was the shortest and best part for me. Good luck!

Almost 3 hours with my first and probably 15 - 20 minutes with my second. I also had a very long labor with my first, and my second was less than 4 hours!

Ugh, I can't remember. DH remembers my 14 hours of labor being long, but said pushing was quick. He thinks it was an hour or less. I was watching the morning news before they set up the table to push and did that after a few pushes. They stopped it right when I was ready to push him out, the urge right at the end to be ready for him.

With my first lo I pushed for 3 long long hours.
With my second lo I pushed about 25 minutes. However lo#2 was nearly 5 weeks early.

From the time we asked our families to leave the room until little girl arrived was 42 minute. I think pushing was 30-35 minutes.

20-45 min? DH and I have different recollections. lol! The nurse had me do practice pushes a couple of times and then made me stop because the baby was right there. Doctor came and I think I pushed about 20-30 min?

30mins or so for the first, the second came out 10mins later. The dr said I was a good pusher, I just wanted them out at that point. We were team green so that was another incentive. It was exhausting but not as bad as I'd expected.

2 and 1/2 hours before getting a fever and LO's heartrate went sky rocket...so we headed off to OR for c-section.

D1: 20 minutes
D2: 10 seconds? She was so fast, she flew out on my first push.

20 minutes. Actually more like 15-17 because they had me stop for a few minutes in the middle of it

2 1/2 hours and then went to emergency c-section due to her heartrate and my fever.

40 minutes. I wasn't a very good pusher though. If I had gotten the hang of it sooner I probably could have had her out quicker. Next time
