I was at 7cm when I got my epidural, an hour and a half later I was fully dilated. But then I labored down for about an hour and a half and pushed for just under three hours. So around 6 hours total from 7cm to having the baby.

I didn't get checked until I was at 9. My labor went super fast and I had LO out in 3 pushes, so maybe 15 minutes?

in one hour I jumped from 5cm to 10cm, and delivered him 44 minutes later. So I said less than an hour.

I arrived at the hospital at 5cm, my water broke spontaneously about 30 minutes after arrival, which put my dilation at an 8 immediately. About 45 min later I was fully dilated but we waited for an hour or so before pushing because the baby was posterior and needed to turn. Once she was turned I pushed for roughly an hour. So I voted 3 hours, since that is about the amount of time that elapsed between my water breaking and LOs birth.

Over 10 hrs with my first, less than an hour with my second! With my first it was a miracle I didn't end up in a c sec. 3 hrs of pushing and he never even crowned. They did have to use the vacuum and basically pull him out of me.

I'm really not sure because I labored over night - I was a 6 around 2 am and then didn't get checked for a few hours because my midwife thought I was sleeping - yeah right! At 5 I told my nurse I felt the urge to push and was checked at just before 6 and was fully dilated. DS was born 15 mins later.

Checked at 4p, 7cm. Checked at 6p, 7cm. Pushing started around 9p, baby out just before 11p. No drugs or interventions, but the midwife was convinced I'd need to transfer for a c-section until she heard the involuntary pushing start. So all told, it took about 7 hours to get from 7cm to baby.
