Piggybacking on the thread about birth times, how long were you in labor? I was surprised to see so many babies born in the daytime hours, but I realized that some of you may have gone into labor at night.
1. 5.5 hrs
2. 4 hrs
3. 5 hrs
4. 3.5 hrs from water breaking, 2 hours from start of contractions, one hour (if that) from the time they finally decided to admit me and give me a bed - he was quite speedy (we delivered his head while the nurse had her back turned trying to get the linens/chux pads stuff ready for the birth) - doctor made it in for the post-game show.
Never got to experience a labor pain. She was five days late--doctor sent me for a fetal non-stress test--she was under fetal distress, and they gave me a C-section right then and there.
I was so terrified of the labor, too, figuring I'd had an easy pregnancy that would be my punishment--but it took a whole new twist at the end.
started feeling uncomfortable about 10:00PM
got to hospital about 10:30PM
did the check in and getting a room and lab work
Pushed about 15 minutes
born 12:38AM
didn't get to do the epi b/c son was on his way when they checked me.
Wow I am surprised with how fast the labor was you had to push for 15 min. Mine were fast but not that fast and I never pushed more than about 3 min and only 2-3 pushes at the most.
So not fair. With child 1...I pushed for close to 3 hours.
I have been told my body was made for making babies. Getting pregnant is also incredibly fast and easy for me. Too bad I am not a Duggar. Four kids is my absolute limit and some days I am hanging on by my fingernails to my sanity.
