I was in active labor with my first for 3 days and about 6 hours with my second. My water broke while I was pushing both times. All natural, unmedicated, and no tearing both times.

Active labor for me was only 4-5 hours from when I went to triage at 4cm to birth. I was having inconsistent minor contractions all day from 5am but I already had an appt that day and got a membrane sweep at 3pm. It got more consistent from then on and I went to triage at 11pm, was 4cm and admitted at 12am and she was born at 4:50am.

My failed epidural was the longest, hardest labor & delivery. My 3 successful epidural labors were quick & easy.
