How fast was your baby born?

[kimi]

Just wondering.
My mother was in labour for 97 and a half hours with me (as she is quick to remind me ) but with my 1st DS the whole thing was over in 15 minuets and my 2nd DS i got to the hospital at 8.30am and he was born at 8.49am

dd1 - 3 hours
dd2 - c section so about 10 mins!!
dd3 - about 24 hours

ds1 - just under 4 hours
ds2 - just under erm 30 mins

Ds1 - 13 hours from start to (em c/s) end.

Ds2 - 10 hours from start to (vbac) end.

dd - 38 hours

ds - 6 hours 45 mins - thank goodness...

Woke at 7.30am with mild contractions, it suddenly all got a bit exciting about 4pm, so made it to hospital (10cm dilated ) and DS was born about 1 hour later - just in time for tea!

DS1 - 13 hours (took ages to dilate)
DS2 - 3.5 hours

So much easier the 2nd time.

Firstborn (Daughter) - 56 hours, entocinon drip, with TENS and, in the end, epidural to get some sleep.

Second (Son) - 6 hours, TENS only, oh yeah, rock on, so proud !!!

DD is no.1 baby, waters broke but no pain or contractions that i cd feel then 5 hrs later hideous pain from nowhere, 1hr later in hosp, 5cm dilated, begging for epidural, 7 hrs after getting to hosp DD born by emerg cs cos head stuck,seemed much quicker in drug haze. was given pethidine and gas and air before epidural!someone in hosp said rapid onset of labour can cause head jamming at oblique angle, has anyone else heard of this? has anyone requested notes back from hosp, feel as if have no real idea of what actually happened in what order

DD1 - 24 hours. Epidural. Back to back and hand up by her head. Forceps.

DD2 - strong Braxton-Hicks all day Friday. Sat., woke at 6AM w/contractions. Left for hospital about 20 min. after 9. Got there at 9cm dilated. She was born at 10.26AM.

DS1 - induced 11am (on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!) . He was finally born at 6am on the Friday. Forceps, fetal distress, epidural etc.
DS2 - induced 1pm, he arrived at 8pm (same day - thank god!) Back to back, only allowed to have gas and air due to fetal distress.

faster than the mid-wife and ambulance could get to us. dh delivered her. He says it was the most exhilarating amazing thing he's ever done.

Us too

DS1 - 11 hours, 40 minutes start to finish - back to back, waterbirth, no other pain relief.

DS2 - 8 hours, 30 minutes, quite strong, but only really bad for the last five minutes after waters broke - no pain relief (but had gas and air for stitches ).

46 hours, 5 midwifes, a paramedic, 2 cleaners, a TV repairman and a cheese toastie

dd1 - 4 minutes from the time they started cutting

dd2 - 5 minutes from the time they started cutting.

Ds1 induced 4 hrs 15
ds2 also induced 1hr 10. No intervention luckily and just used gas and air.

12 hours with DS1
5 hours with DS2

Jessica - induced 6pm thursday night, born 3.50am saturday. 15 mins pushing.

Rebecca - 7 hours 30 mins from first twinge. 2 pushes and was out!

Waters broke at 830pm got to hospital at 9pm and DS was born at 0019am

Very fast for a first baby (first live birth)

Waters went at 11.30pm, DD was born 2.31am. 3 hours from start to finish. 20 mins pushing.

DD - 28 hours, contractions every 2 minutes lasting one minute for pretty much most of the time, ended in ventouse.
#2 - I'll let you know in November.
Someone mentioned Raspberry Leaf Tea further down

Foggy trundles off to shops pretty sharpish

DS - 16 hours
DD - 3 hours

22 hour labour, but DD was born within 2 minutes of c-section being started. Thats what I call quick, shame the rest took so long.

50 minutes ds

then, 22 months later

36 hours, dd.

dd1 - elective CS, so about 10 minutes from obstetrician first wielding the knife to full-on screaming (that's from dd1, not me) and bloody hell I'm a mum!

dd2 - about 9 hours start to finish, which I thought was OK for a first labour, though I could've done without the two hours of pushing.
