How long did labour last with your first?

23 hours!!!

I was having contractions for 18 hours, but I only count the labour as from the point that the pain was intense and that was only for 7 hours, including 1 hour of pushing (funny, but I found pushing didn't hurt a lot )
I rekon that all the dog walking I did though the pregnancy helped a lot, and I kept as mobile as I could while in labour.

I would definatly do it all again, fabulous.

Good luck

my 1st was 3 hrs 46mins. 2nd iwas in labour for about 1hr and 1/2 when iwent to hosi, and had her after 20 mins. 3rd i was only in labour suite for 7 mins, but had early labour pains for the whole day before. For me as soon as i'm in established labour things happen really quickly, but everybodys different.

My contractions started around 11pm and our daughter was born at 1845 the next evening although i wasnt classed as being in established labour until 7am the day she was born.
