How long was your labour?

Question

Ive saw so many stories of different peoples labour I’ve heard of friends and families labour mine have been very straightforward. I’m just curious to how everyone else’s went? 
My first- I was in labour for an hour and half and she was here. 
My second- premature, I had pains the night before. Was in full blown labour the next morning and he arrived an hour later. 
My youngest- my waters broke in the morning went to hospital wasn’t in labour was scheduled to be induced 24hours after my waters broke. I went back 4 hours later in hospital in labour for 20 minutes. She left the room to call delivery suite and I already pushed her head out before. Was a scary because it was during covid and I went into labour while my mom was at work so my partner had to stay back with our other two kids, was first time I gave birth or pushed her head without anybody around or there. But all was okay😁

Answer

My labor was 20 hours. (30 hours from being admitted, getting Foley balloon, to baby in arms). But 20 hours from after being moved from antenatal into labor and delivery until baby in arms. But only 16 min of pushing. Looooonng day of horrible contractions and shit. But nice ans easy pushing.

Answer

My first son was a week over due. I called my doctors office said I though I was in labor. My doctor called me back said rest at home as long as possible because first time labor is usually at least 12 hours and i would be more comfortable at home. A couple of hours i called my husband home from work. He picked me up we get to the hospital and I had our son 1 hour later. With my 2nd son i woke up in the middle of the night. I had a cold and was coughing really hard and thought I peed myself  little. I got cleaned up and went back to sleep. A couple of hours later it happened again.  I called my doctor she asked me to go to the hospital and get checked. I drove myself to the hospital think i would get checked out then head  to work. I was onky 34 weeks so I didnt anything was really happening. I go to the hospital, my water had broken and I was 3 cm dialated. I called my husband told him to get our oldest off to school then get to the hospital. He gets there, im 6 cm dialted. The nurse checks me and says you still have plenty of time so my husband went to get a cup of coffee. He was gone maybe 5 minutes, i buzzed the nurse told her this baby is coming now. She checked me, ran out to find a doctor. One push and i delivered the baby alone. The next thing I know my whole room is flooded with doctors and nurses. My poor husband walks into the room with his coffee. I said surprise, he didnt want to wait for you to get coffee. Thankfully our son was ok. There was supposed to be a nicu team there when I delivered since he was a premie. Its a funny story now but was terrifying at the time.

Answer

With my son, I woke up at 7am for work. Worked all day and felt off, but no pain. Just tightening at the top of my stomach. Get home from work and do our regular stuff. Decide to get the car seat installed and get some last minute grocery items “just in case” lol. 
While watching a movie I felt a little gush (sorry TMI) and it was my mucus plug. Started slightly cramping. Half an hour later another gush and it was my bloody show. I start timing contractions then at 10pm and they were consistently 2-3 minutes apart from the get go. So from 10pm-3pm the next day I was in labor. Started pushing at 3pm and he was out at 4:13pm. So about 17-18 hours? Hoping this time goes by a little faster 😂

Answer

56 hours of induction. 35 hours no epidural, 21 with. Ended with a c section. Happy healthy 3 year old now

Answer

With my first, I was induced at 39 weeks, but labored for 24 hours before ending up with a c-section because I pushed for 4 hours straight and she was stuck.
With my second, my water broke out of the blue at 33 weeks 6 days. I went into labor on my own shortly after that and was in labor about 6 hours, but again they had to do a c-section. It's a longer story than that.

Answer

My water broke at 37+2 and I had to be induced, from the time my water broke to the time I delivered, I was in labor for 46 hours. But for the first like 10 hours I didn't feel any of my contractions. I didn't start to feel them until my pitocin kept getting upped and a majority of my contractions I felt in my back.
