How long?

Question

How long did your longest and/or worst contraction last?

Answer

It wasn’t just one contraction but a phase of labor. Transition sucks. The contractions get super intense last like a minute (or longer probably, you’re just trying to get thru it to care the time elapsed). But it’s also the shortest phase and then you can push! 🙌🏻

Answer

All of them were the worst. Once I hit 7cm I thought I was going to die. I was determined to go medication free but I couldn’t do it and just wanted sweet relief!

Answer

First labor was 28 hours (7 hours of pushing) because my son was facing the wrong direction. I had more time between contractions and contractions weren’t as intense as with my second. My second was a six hour labor with contractions practically right on top of each other and incredibly painful. Transition was fucking horrible but once I started pushing i felt like I had been released into heaven. Less than 15 pushes and he was out. I’ll take the more intense and shorter labor any/every day.

Answer

My longest contractions was 2 minutes long with my first. I wasn't even close to being dilated enough to push. I can't remember with my second. I think they were all a minute long

Answer

Once labor starts mine come on top of each other, no break in between. I’d say between my 2 kids the 1.5 hours of back-to-back contractions with my 2nd was hardest.

Answer

I got 6 contractions without ANY amount of break. Just back to back. That was not fun.

Answer

My contractions started at exactly midnight at 5 minutes apart last 1 minute exactly. Each contraction was horrible! I do admit that once I got closer to pushing (around 3:30am) contractions got even more intense and worse (still 1 minute apart) but way more painful
