How long was your first labor?

Question

Did you workout during your pregnancy? Do anything to help you prepare for labor? Did it help?

Answer

Worked out 4-5 days a week until 2 days before I delivered. Was about a 3-3.5 hr labor starr to finish

Answer

Induced at 8am, had baby the next morning at 2am. Only pushed for 30 mins. I did yoga, Pilates, some barre at the beginning, but as I got further along I exercised less and less.

Answer

I was in labor for 22 hours but not bad and pushed for only 45 min but felt way faster than that. I didn’t work out during pregnancy like I should have l.

Answer

I worked out me entire pregnancy 3-4 times/week doing boxing and resistance training and labored for 16 hours but it wasn’t a bad labor...i didn’t have to do the epidural until hour 9 and I only did it at that point because they said it was then or not at all.  This pregnancy I did boxing in T1 but now in T2 I’ve been doing prenatal barre because the cardio was too much.

Answer

13 easy hours and only push under 14mins

Answer

My labour was 22hrs from when my waters started leaking to when he was born. I had contractions for about 16hrs. Pushed him out in 20 minutes. Took me 20hrs to get to 3cm, then 2hrs to get to 10cm! I also did nothing to prepare for labour

Answer

I was in labor for 16 hours with my first. I was also induced due to pre eclampsia with her at 37 weeks. No I didn’t do any works outs. And no tears.

Answer

I was on gym before pregnancy (for 6months lol) and during the last months I was on pregnancy pilates with a professional specialized in maternal health so it was great to talk to her. Was in labor for 12h.

Answer

I was induced with my first at 37+2 for blood pressure. In labor 15 hours, pushed for 22 mins. I did absolutely nothing to help with labor

Answer

23hours and 40 minutes long (was induced with foley balloon) Didn’t purposely do anything to help with labour. I am a nurse and worked as a continuing care assistant as well throughout my whole pregnancy so I was very active at work with 12+ hour shifts moving (lifting/pulling) long term care residents. I think that helped but can’t say for certain
