How long was labor with your third?

Question

How long was labor with your third in comparison to your other two? Shorter or longer? My midwife told me third labors tend to be curveballs and can go either way.

Answer

I have no clue what to expect this time with my third baby. 
Baby #1 - 8 hours
Baby #2 - 17.5 hours
With my second my water broke three times before it fully broke so I think that had something to do with the length of my labor.

Answer

First - 68 hours. 
Second - 16 hours. 
Third - 11 hours.

Answer

1st 36 hours 😭 
2nd 6 hours 
3rd 5 hours 
4th 3 hours 
I’ve bet my husband that this 5th baby will surely be born in a car.

Answer

I'm pregnant with my 3rd. My midwife keeps telling me it's going to go fast. My 2nd was still 12 hours from the very first contraction. I didn't have to push at all, his head came out with one contraction and his body with the rest. It was much quicker than my first because he tried getting out hand first so he was stuck. I was in transition for like 7 hours and crowned for 3 hours. I'm hoping for 5 hours with #3. 😆🤞

Answer

Well I was induced so I don’t know if it counts hah.
Just electively induced.
I was already about 3cm dilated when I went in
Had to get the antibiotics for strep b.
My nurse told me if it wasn’t for that I would have been pushing sooner. They Dulled down my pitocin since I was progressing faster than they expected.
So once I got the 4 hours of meds it was go time. Total induction was 11 hours. Pushed for maybe 20 min?
I also think me going through labor before, knowing what to expect, knowing HOW to push the right way is also a game changer.
And no tearing! That was the real win 😂

Answer

First was 4 hours, second was 14 hours, third was just under 6 hours.
