My first was 8 hours to first contraction to birth, about 5 hours to get from 3/4 cm to birth, but the pushing stage lasted about an hour and a half because he was in awkward position.
With my second my waters went first because she was back to back, so contractions took a few hours to get going and get into established labour (plus she turned the right way round in early labour). It was about 1 hour 20 mins to get from 3/4cm to birth. Pushing stage was recorded at 4 minutes (I pushed 3 times only).
I think if my second had not been back to back, then labour would have been quicker still.
I am pregnant again and wondering if anyone had any stories for me about their 3rd labours and how fast it was compared to their previous ones?
