How long did you labour for?

Question

How long did you labour for 1st baby vs 2nd or more!

Answer

With my 1st, labor and delivery was an hour total. With my 2nd, labor and delivery was 18 minutes total (almost had him at my mom’s house, on her toilet).

Answer

With my first, they tried to induce me slowly for over 36 hours. My water never broke, had some contractions that I would barely feel, could never dilate. It was considered non-active labor. Ended up with an emergency c section at 37.5weeks.
With my second, my water broke at 38.5 weeks. I didn’t have very much contractions as it just felt like her normal jabs and kicks. 12 hours in, i stayed at half a centimeter of dilation. So I was able to opt out for a c section. 
With this last pregnancy and being twins, I have a feeling it’s just going to be another c section as a precaution since my body clearly doesn’t believe in dilation.

Answer

First baby, started having contractions at 4am. They “stopped” (I didn’t feel them) from 7am-9am. Then starting at 11 they got intense. Had baby at 12.

Answer

First baby - Labored for 68 hours, pushed for 3+ hours. 
Second baby - Labored for 16 hours, pushed for 20 minutes. 
Both labors were traumatic, but for different reasons. My first was stuck and had to be delivered with forceps, I had severe SPD and could barely walk for six weeks after, had two pelvic organ prolapses, and developed several permanent external hemorrhoids. 
Second labor was traumatic because the staff (different hospital) was incredibly incompetent. But the birth itself was easier than my first. Unfortunately, my third will be born at the same hospital.

Answer

With my first it was 19 hours, second lasted 5 hours.

Answer

With my first I labored for 7 hours. With my second I was in labor for 25 hours.

Answer

My first I was in labor for like 36 hours. I wasn’t progressing very well on my own, so they told me they could break my water, send me home, or induce me. I let them break my water. After that, it only took 6.5 hours, including pushing for an hour and 15 mins. My second I was induced due to preeclampsia. It took 10 hours from start to finish. My 3rd I was induced as well, same thing as the 2nd, 10 hours. I’m curious to see what happens with this baby.
