how long did you labor with your first?

Question

I'm planning an all natural birth, and I plan on laboring as long as I can at home, but I have no idea how long I should stay at home before heading to the hospital. How long did you labor for with your first? I always here the first time is the longest

Answer

I started my pre labor on Aug 5 at around 6pm and I labored at home until 530am the next day (I couldn't handle the pain anymore) when I got to the hospital I was already 5 1/2 cm dialated (yay half way) then I was in active labor for another 10hrs I pushed my daughter in 10mins had her at 3:36pm (she was my first) so in total I was in labor for about 21 1/2 hrs.. It actually didn't feel that long cause I slept through 3/4 of it

Answer

47 hours with 24 of them on pitocin. Took so long because baby's head was positioned incorrectly

Answer

Natural birth, 6 hours.

Answer

I had an all natural birth. From first major contraction to birth was 20 hours, pushed for 45 mins of that total. Had membrane sweep done to help start labor as was a week overdue

Answer

Pre-labor 2 days. Went in, got sent home for not progressing. Active labor to baby born was only 7 hours, but I received pitocin to speed things up after my water broke.

Answer

Active labor, about 14hrs. But i lost my mucus plug & was having contractions from the week before- just wasn't dilated/effaced.

Answer

8:00 am to 8:00 pm. woke up to contractions and I believe she was born at 8:16 pm.

Answer

I woke up at nine am with pain and chilled at the house until about ten-thirty because I didn't think I was in labor until I talked to my mom. My son was born at 4:52. So eight hours.

Answer

12.5 hours from the first contraction until I pushed him out (I also had an epidural)

Answer

Like 2 hrs
