From start to finish?
32 hours from the time I started having time-able contractions (12-15 minutes apart, but consistent, and I couldn't sleep through them) until I pushed him out.
-
9 hours and 20 minutes from the time my water broke until LO was born.
-
36 hours.
-
From 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday until 11:42 a.m. on a Monday, so a total of 38 hours and 12 minutes.
-
45 hours from the time I started having consistent contractions to delivering P. I had had nightly "false" labor for just about a week though.
-
9 hours from my first contraction to the time she was born. I can't complain since she was my first!
-
15 hours from start of contractions.
-
9 hrs of active labour, just about 2 days to get there.
-
45 hours from when my water broke. 15.5 hours of active labor.
-
19 hours from the start of my induction to delivery
-
13.5 hours from the time I had timeable contractions to when she came out. 12.5 hours from the time my water broke.
-
11 hours from first drip of pit to delivery
-
I was induced and it was horrible! I had contractions Wednesday night and DD was born Saturday morning! Sooo, like 55 hours!
-
12 hours from start to finish with dd and 4 with ds.
-
14 hours from when they started to ripen my cervix for an induction, 10 hours from when I was 1cm dilated and my water broke. I ended up not even needing pictocin!
-
Water broke on Thursday night at 9:30, she was FINALLY born on Saturday night at 11:45... so like 50 hours, but active labour only lasted 9ish hours
-
I had NO contractions previous to water breaking. It broke on its own at 1050pm on a Friday night, I was holding DS at 1:54am Saturday!!! Scary how fast the next one might come!
-
I was induced so from the time they hooked me up to pitocin to baby was about 10.5 hours (only 4 hrs to fully dilate but we had to labor down because LO was still too high.
-
18 hours.
-
I was 72 hours from start to finish. I had a few periods during the 1st day when the contractions completely went away, but for the most part I was experiencing painful timeable contractions that entire time. I knew labor could be long, but I never had any idea it could be that long.
-
4.5 hours fr start to finish! Like PP my water broke spontaneously.
-
13 hours from first contraction to birth.
-
Early labor lasted for about 48 hours and active labor was about 20. Aaaaaaagh.
-
@skibobrown: I didn't think there was any other person that went as long as me...I'm sorry
72 hours for me.
-
12 hours from the first contraction to when she was born.
-
water broke & labor started just after 5am, DS was born at 8:17pm
-
I am amazed by those of you who were in labor for days! I can't imagine it!
My first contraction was at 6:30 am and he was born at 7:15 pm. I stayed at work until about 1:45 pm. Everyone said I would have so much time, since he was my first, but it felt pretty quick to me!
-
22 hours from the time my water broke, but only 9 hours of active labor
-
@junebugmama: Awww... someone else in the same boat! How did yours turn out? I ended up with a normal delivery although some pitocin and an epidural were involved at the very end to finally get things moving (and then to deal w/ the pain from the pitocin contractions).
-
20 hours and 6 hours
-
30 hours
-
@matador84: me too! live in fear of that thought
7 hours and 50 minutes from water breaking to baby in my arms. I was expecting much, much longer, and was very happy the epidural slowed progress just a bit. It would have been even faster, but I don't want to know how bad the tears would have been. So happy I labored down!
-
7 hours for baby #1
5 hours for baby #2 -
@lemondrop: I was happy to labor down for an hour too, it gave me a break!
-
My water broke around 430am and he was born by c-section at 10:41pm.
-
36 hours from start of induction to delivery. Admitted to the damn hospital 12 hours before that. God, that sucked.
-
Waters broke at 0530 on Monday morning, went into active labour at 1130, delivered LO at 1424 on Tuesday so 6 hours of early labour and 27 hours of active labour incl 2.5 hours of pushing.
-
10 hours 45 min from first contraction, which also broke my waters
Totally in awe of those who went for 24+ hours. I was so tired I didn't even open my eyes for the hour of pushing! I'm sure my midwives thought I was crazy.
-
@matador84: WOW that's fast!
-
13 hours from the first consistent contractions.
