Water broke at 5:45 am, was fully dilated at 9:50am but DS was breech so we were rushed for a csection and he was born at 10:20 am
-
My water broke at 11:30pm on April 1st. She was born at 7:30pm on April 3rd. So, 45 hours.
Im a strange case though. My water broke, I didn't go into labor, they made me wait 24 hours and then induced me. I think my "active labor" was 15.5 hours.
-
8 hours. My water broke at 6:30am, I was admitted at 8:30am, dilated to 10 at noon and then pushed for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
-
36 hours from active labor to delivery. I had an epidural for the last 5.5-6 hours which actually helped to speed up the process. My midwives said that labor would have taken a bit more time without it, yikes!
-
My contractions didn't really get painful until after we were at the hospital (and even then I never felt they were too bad), and DD was born 3 hours after we got there. I won the L&D lottery as far as pain and length of labor though.
-
Water broke about 6am, LO was born at 11:47pm the same day. Almost 18 hours.
-
Water broke at 5?
Contractions started 5:30
Fully dilated 830
Labored down and then started pushing at 9? born 9:27 -
@danda: @sorrycharlie: More awesomely short labors! Any hint as to why it might have been that way? Do you come from short laboring families? Lol or just won the labor lottery?
-
@Mae: haha! well, for sure a short laboring mom. she had me within 14 min of arriving to the hospital. her dr induced her with my brother to avoid an accidental home birth! i tried everything in the book, and LO came on her due date. the only thing that MIGHT have helped was the evening primrose oil (I took vaginally and orally) and maybe the exercise ball? I lived on that thing the last month because I was in so much pain!
-
24 hours from the time my water broke but only 6 hours from when I was started on pitocin and had LO. I had PROM and wasn't having any contractions when my water broke.
-
8 hours from water breaking to delivery.
-
Water broke at 10pm Tuesday. Contractions started at 2am Wednesday and were immediately hard. Got to the hospital at around 9 or 10am Wednesday. Labored until 7pm and finally got an epidural. Started pushing just after midnight on Thursday. He was born at 12:57am Thursday.
So, 27 from my water breaking, 23 from the first contraction.
-
Water broke at 8am Friday and she was delivered via c-section around 11:30 on Monday, so 75 hours?! Contractions started around 1pm on Friday, though, so I only had 70 hours of those to deal with. ;-p My experience is SO not the norm, so I don't even tell my expecting FTM friends until they've delivered.
-
@Mae: My mom was in labor with me 25 hours, so it's not genetics! I did exercise all through pregnancy, and my friend has a theory that keeping fit during pregnancy helps (no idea if this is true!). I also drank red raspberry leaf tea a bit in third trimester (much less than what is recommended) so no idea if that played a role. TMI alert- My periods are generally pretty long and heavy so perhaps my uterus is used to working hard?
-
15 hours from first contraction to delivery. Nine hours from when they got painful to delivery.
-
My water broke naturally at 8am. Contractions started about an hour / hour and a half later. She was born at 150pm. So just under 6 hours from water breaking, around 4.5/5 hours after contractions started.
-
21 hours of active labor
-
Well if we're going by when my water broke it would be like 28 hrs from water breaking to baby born. But my labor disnt start til almost 24 hours later. So from when contractions started til baby born was 7 hours.
-
25 hours, although it ended in a c-section, so who knows how much longer it would've gone on!
-
About 6 hours from when first contraction started until LO was born. I got an epidural though and labored down so it might have been even quicker without that.
-
I went into labor naturally (water broke and had some contractions) at 11pm on a Tuesday. I was instructed to come in around 5 the next morning, but my contractions had all but stopped at that point and wouldn't restart on their own. I was induced with an epidural around 10:30 am, and baby girl was born just after 3 PM...about 20 mins after they realized the trainee nurse never have me a catheter and my full bladder was preventing her from coming down, the birth canal.
So about 15 from when my water broke, maybe 5 hrs of serious contractions, and about 15 minutes or less of actual pushing once I had the catheter.
-
Just under 8 hours both times from active labor to babies out. I had no idea real labor was happening until things really got going- water breaking for #1 and #2 I got admitted to be induced and real contractions started right after.
-
8 or 9 hrs from when my water broke.
-
Early labour started 7pm Thursday night.
Active labour began 4pm Friday afternoon. Went to hosp 8:30pm Friday.
Epi 11pm Friday night. Water broken by doc 1am Saturday morning.
Pushing 5:30/6am, born 7:46am Saturday morning.
About 37 hours early + active. 15 gruelling until epi hours of active!
Definitely hoping number two is quicker!!!
-
Around 36 hours.
-
24 hours from when my water broke to when he was born via c section. I think it would have been MUCH longer if I hadn't had a c section because my contractions slowed down and he couldn't handle contractions on pitocin. Although I did hit 6 cm dilated by the time I went into the OR so maybe if my contractions had been better he would have come sooner...
-
Contractions started at 4 am, but they didn't hurt much until 9 am. She was born at 12:23 pm.
-
@Mae: went to the hospital at 6 pm and was ready to push at 4 am but midwife was in another labor - started pushing at 6 baby was born at 614 am
