Answer

first 1 was 29 and a half hours I was 15! my last one (baby number 6) 10min..
it definitely gets faster the more you have currently pregnant with my 7th

Answer

Bloody show at 1am on Monday and started getting contractions for the rest of the day. Tuesday went in at 9am to my OB and my water broke when he was checking my dilation. Checked into the hospital and my baby girl FINALLY came out after another 36 hours of back labor and 3 hours of pushing sunny-side up. I get why my old OB - who is now retired - said he is never in a rush with first time moms. He had the time to go about an entire day and a half of normal work and take in a basketball game while I was in labor with my first 😂

Answer

Like 6 hours with my first. Went to the hospital at 11pm and had baby at 5:05am. Hoping it’s just as quick if not faster with my second. 🤞🏻

Answer

First; 32 weeks preterm, held out to 35 weeks. Started at midnight, had him at 6:38 pm.

Answer

I had no symptoms at all then woke up to contractions. Had them all day, that night, and the next day, I was in prelabor. The next night things got more intense. I started timing them in the shower and it was go time. My midwife came by, we set the pool up and I hopped in. I was falling asleep between contractions in the pool, my arms would start floating then the next contraction would wake me up. Relaxation is key for endurance. I crowned and pushed for 3 hours because he had a nuchal arm. His hand was up by his head when he was born but he came out as the sun came up and it was a lovely experience.

Answer

36 hrs

Just shy of 11 hours from waters breaking/first contractions to having him out. I was 39+2 and there was no medical intervention to start labour.

36 hours in labor started off with membrane stripping, most of it unmedicated. then reached 7 went for epidural to give me a break from cramps. 1 hr pushing

Answer

Had absolutely zero signs, feelings, symptoms, etc at all so didn't think labor was close. Was making eggs to go to the gym and my water broke and contractions started while I was scrambling eggs. 90ish mins later my baby was in my arms. Was early early morning 40+1
