how long was your labour

[scottishmumto1]

hi everybody
how long was your labour from start to finish

Waters breaking to giving birth exactly 12 hours from 10.10am to 10.10pm

24 hours then emergency c section as hadn't dilated more than 4 cm.

4.5 hours from waters breaking to birth - I did actually post here on the night calling for the wisdom of Mumsnet!

DS will be 1 soon! (sniff sniff)

Ds labour was 1hour 15 minutes before I had a C/section
Dd1 woke up in labour at 2am had her at 3:59am
DD2 was in labour for 12 hours but noone believed me till I was 8cm dilated so it was 1hour 2mins according to my notes

Next time I am camping in the car park, the hospital is 30 mins drive away!

DS1: 50 hours from first contraction to birth, 27 hours in `established labour'.
DS2: 3.5 days from first contraction to birth, 10 hours in established labour.

omg gingernut - 50 hours - i thought my 48 hours was bad!

62 hours start to finish (but not including waters breaking/plug)

followed by emerg cs

from waters breaking - 9 days 6 hours

confused, thought they didnt allow you to go any longer than 18 hours after waters breaking? they told me i had to be induced?

where did you have your baby nightowl?

omg jampots! poor you.. i would have been climbing the walls, pleading, screaming, .. etc

for the ante-natal period it was ok if not just a little unnerving with it being my first although looking back i did burst into tears quite easily for that week. Then when i was in labour i was just knackered. Ended up in an em c/s though

nightowl,
you can go up to 48 hours after waters break as long as you are monitored I believe. I went a day and half from waters breaking till first twinge.... DS born 6 hours 45 mins later.

My first dd was induced weds 9pm and had her Friday lunchtime . Officially in notes it is 14 hours or so???

45678 hours and my god it hurt

wordsley hospital jampot. i was having contractions from about 30 mins after my waters went, but it had been 18 hours since my waters broke and they were going to induce me. stuff happened and in the end i asked for another cs (i really didnt want one but was worried about how my scar would cope with being induced and baby's heartbeat was all over the place).

had been having contractions all night every night for three days prior to that.

3 nights i mean!!!!

ahh thats not brum is it? i had mine at QE/Birmingham Maternity

well i usually tell people im from brum (because they havent heard of dudley)! i think wordsley has closed down now.

With DS, from first contraction to eventual emergency c/s ..... 55 HOURS!!!!!
With DD ... from first contraction (after 2nd lot of induction gel) to eventual "I've had enough of this, go sharpen your scalpel" c/s ... 19 hours ....
