Was just wondering how many hours of labor all you mom's have went threw?? I went through 48 hours, I went in labor on a monday and didn't have my daughter until Wed. She was very stubborn and wanted to stay where it was nice and warm. But now seeing her and interacting with her makes it all worth it. She is a wonderful and smart three year old little girl.

I was in a total of 10 hours. Everything went smooth and only pushed for about 30 minutes. Now I have a cute almost 1 year old.

11 hours combined w/ my 2 girls.....

I wish I could have only been in labor 10 hours...Was that your first baby?? The doctor's told me the first is always the longest.

Mine are all grown up now.
Never knew labor past 5 hours. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Popped four out so fast that I allmost had one in the car and another one at home!

Guess I made up for it with other circumstances though:

One was born during a tornado warning on Mothers Day.

Another was born around thanksgiving- never did get to eat that big meal I had just cooked.

Had one on leap day!

Had one while Christmas shopping!

The kids and I still laugh about those events!!!

im the youngest of 4 and my mom was in labor with me for 24hours
my ex hubby came from 3 siblings
hes the 2nd child and his mom was in labor with him for 2weeks (he was 11lbs 12oz baby)
as for me, i didnt have natural delivery, i had a c-section with both of my kids
my great nephew came into the world 7months ago and his mom was in labor with him for over 36hours before they did a c-section

Yep, he was my first (and last)


Appearently all the ladies in my family have pretty quick labors.

With my daughter four days, my labor kept starting and stopping plus I was 4 centimeters dialated for three weeks..
With my son, I almost died that was two days of hell, think harcore labor that no pain meds could help and the doctor was a quack who I found out after she was sued many times over..She let me hemmorage and did nothing about it till it was almost to late...

there was a lady i met when my daughter was little she had 5 kids, and i sAw the 2 that was with her, her youngest was 10months and he was huge, all her kids weigh over 10lbs, and she had twins as well that weighed 10lbs each, and her longest labor was 45min, she was twin so was her husband

errr..I had over 24 hours of labor with all but one of my kids. The easiest one was about 16 hours..

27 hours. They were also using that nasty stuff in the IV that promotes contractions. I forgot the name.

Ummmmm.....sorry ladies, 3 hours each time, with no drugs.......

Go away.


That's fast!!

16...once was enough for me...I dont do anything for 16hour in a row..not even sex...

Pitocin. I had it too, as I was induced. Nasty, evil, vile stuff. If I see it again I'll go home and give birth in a bathtub....

I was in labor for about 31 hours, and after four hours of pushing finally had a c-section.....

My girls are grown too. My oldest had me in labor for twenty six hours, 8lbs 8oz and my baby (30yoa) was 6lbs 1oz, only took four hours.

lol.. my biggest was 9lbs 5oz...19 inches long. He came out and I used to call him my sumo baby... No pain meds either. Although after about 8 hours of hard labor I was screaming for drugs.. Which they wouldnt let me have

Yes, that it's - Pitocin. It's downright mean to give that to a woman, I'm telling you. They gave it to me 4 hours into labor.
And I still was feeling it 24 hours later.

I say we give it to the person who invented it! For days... and days...

total labor was 36 hours pushing for 4 of that and my son wound up being emergency c-section...........my daughter none we set a date and time no labor at all just epidural and under the knife.
