How old were you when you had all of your children?

[ComingButGoingGone]

How long was your labour time from first contractions?

Me: DS1 @27yo
17 hours

Just for fun

Dc1 labour was 9 hours start to finish, I was 30.

DC2 labour was 6 hours start to finish, I was 36.

1st was at 32 and labour was 11 hours

2nd at 37 and 9 hours

I don’t think there’s any relation between the two, but both of them were born at which I think helped a lot, especially with the 2nd as I knew what to expect and it was very calm.

Dc1 at 25. 46 hours start to finish. 😫

Trying for number 2 now at 27. 😁😁

DC1 I was 2, labour was 11 hours from first contraction but I did have the drip for induction

DC2 I was 24, labour was about 4 hours from first contraction. 3.5 minutes of active labour, she was out in 3 pushes.

20 not 2 lol!!!

Dd at 24 and I’m not to sure how long as I didn’t realise my stomach pains were labour but 15 after arriving at hospital

Ds at 25 and 3 hours

DS1 26 hours labour I was 25

DS2 14 hours labour I was 27

DD1 4 hours labour I was 30

DS at 25. Planned CS, no labour. He was out in 16 minutes, I was glued up and back in my room in 35 minutes. Blink and you'd miss it.

Now 37, twins due at Christmas. Bricking myself as they're "to be expected" from 28 weeks and often have rapid labours of under 1hr. CS planned at 36 weeks. Visions of both appearing vaginally in the back of the car

Dd1@ 15 Labour was 19 hrs

Dd2@ 38 Labour was 40 mins.

I was 45.

Ds took 38 hours from when my contractions couldn’t be ignored, to forceps delivery. He came out pink & yowling, eventually

Well done itswinternow

DS - I was 17 and 45 hours
DD - I was 21 and 5 hours

DS1 I was 22 and labour was 3 hours
DS2 I was 23 and labour was 20 minuets

Now expecting DC3...

DD1 - I was 27, 12hr labour.

DD2 - I was 30, 3.5hr labour.

First 41 and had section, no labour but my waters had broken so it was nine days earlier than planned.
Second 43 and another planned section.

#1 - I was 19. 15 hours of contractions followed by an emergency section.

#2 - I was 26. No labour as needed a planned section.

DD1: 21 hours from start to finish. I was 27.

DD2: 11 hours from start to finish. I was 28.

DS1 - 28
Hospital notes: 25 minutes, 3 minutes between waters breaking and him arriving. Happened so fast there wasn't time to look at my birth plan or deal with pain relief.

Reality, contractions started just over 58 and a half hours before hospital presentation with 3 calls to the mat unit for advice. Apparently I have a very high pain threshold, or things just changed very fast at about 7am (still 2 hours before I got the the hospital, but contractions got more painful, still not quite 2 every 10 minutes which is why they put me off going in to start with)

35 - labour was 46 hrs then Em C/s
36.5 - elective c/s
38 - elective c/s took forever 4 + hrs due to adhesions. Felt terrible afterward.

First, age 18, 36 hours, horrific hospital birth. Stitched up to the eyeballs.
2nd age 19, 9 hours, homebirth.
3rd age 22, hospital 2 hours 43 minutes exactly :) and she was the biggest by far, and only time I went overdue.
4th age 25, homebirth, 3 and a half hours.
5th, age 27, homebirth, just over 3 hours, delivered him myself as midwives didn't arrive until he was all out bar one of his feet!
(Totally unplanned to be alone but it was the most empowering moment of my life.)

19- induced then around 16 hours from (rubbish medically induced and ineffective!) contractions

22- 4.5 hours

32- 11 hours

35- 12 hours

DD1 32 12 hrs 50 mins ventouse

DS1 33 17 hrs

DD2. 39 1hr 15

DS - I was 24 and 33 hours labour

30
Induced, 18 hours from waters breaking to EMCS

37, Id twins, crash section at 31 weeks.

All worked out well in the end:)

25 years old - Induced
Less than 2 hours....sounds great but in actual fact was horrid.

Dreading if I have number 2. Will be opting for a home birth!
