How long were your 3rd labours?

[mummyp1gs]

First child was 33 hours from first twinge to emcs at 10cm.

Second child was vbac - 5 hours from first twinge to birth.

What were the lengths of your labours if you've had 3 (or more!).

My third labour was 4 hours from first twinge

My third was about 8 hours first twinge to birth, slower than my 2nd which was 5 and same as 1st (also 8 hours)

1st was 7 hours
2nd was 5 hours
3rd was 1 hour that one hurt but no tears or anything

First was 18 hours from waters breaking (first sign of labour) to birth

Second was 1.5 hours from first twinge to birth

Third was under 1 hour (waters broken in hospital after sweep - was meant to be induced as baby was measuring very small)

About 3hrs for my 3rd- much bigger baby nearly 10lb
2nd baby 2hrs- tiny baby 5lb 12
1st baby 13hrs average size 8lb

16 minutes from active labour to baby on chest. It was an induction so I probably had an hour of contractions to get me 4cm.

12 hours first
11 hours second
2 1/2 hours 3rd
4 hours 4th

My third for my smallest baby was long, ended up in an emergency c section due to being transverse. Midwife said I wasn’t pushing hard enough, could see baby’s head..it wasn’t her head it was her back, baby ended up in incubator being monitored and I was in hdu overnight having a blood transfusion. My 1st was back to back so long labour and had a reaction to the epidural , my second about 5 hours was really good with a fantastic trainee midwife. If I had my 3rd baby as my first I would not have had anymore!

First was 5 hours
Second was 3 hours
Third was 5 hours

30 mins. (Delivered by DH in kitchen.)

I can't remember what time my first contraction was, but I was moved to the labour ward at 12.30 and was 3 cm. Dc3 was born just over an hour later at 1.37

3.5 hours
3.5 hours
1.5 hours and absolutely amazing, I was so in tune with my body. It was an incredible experience.

My first was about 18-20 hours (vaginal)
My twins were 6 hours which was also a vaginal birth. My boy twin is my 3rd child and he arrived 8 minutes after his sister. Does that count? 🤣

😮

1st 17 hours
2nd, 3 and 4th just under 3 hours each.

1st labour- about 30 hours, 8 mins of pushing.

2nd labour (7 years after the first which I think makes a difference) about a week from first noticeable contraction to birth, had to be induced as baby was getting distressed. 1 hour of pushing.

3rd labour (2 years after the 2nd)- about 3 hours from first twinge to birth but the contractions didn't start hurting until about 5 mins before the waters went (babies head came out with the waters) luckily DC1 managed to contact DH and the midwives and an ambulance. Dh delivered the baby in our bathroom 10 mins after the waters went.

5 hours from first twinge... was born 8 minutes after I got to hospital!

1st approx 12 hours
2nd approx 6 hours
3rd approx 3 hours (kitchen floor baby)

My third was an induction pessary did nothing, not a twinge. Hours later able to break waters, drip in and 11 minutes later Dc3 arrived.

My third was born in 45 minutes from first contraction lol

Wow wish my induced labour was like this!

First about 10 hours
Second 59 mins
Third six hours (hypnobirth)

1st 72 hours
2nd 4 hours
3rd 10 hours
4th 24 hours

Dc1 - 6hrs 30mins
Dc2 - 1hr 30mins
Dc3 - 1hr 27mins

Im currently expecting dc4 in early summer so hoping I'll have a quick straightforward birth with them too
