2 hours for me, but it was my body pushing, I was just breathing him down. Problems was, my waters didn't go so I crowned him still in the sac Can't help but think with a bit of lubrication from waters it would have been quicker

2 hours properly, 1 hour before then feeling pressure and letting my body do it. Needed ventouse in the end she wouldn't come out. All worth it in the end. Hoping for a better experience this time.

My 1st i had to have a c-section after 1 1/2 hours of pushing as it just wasn't happening.

With my second it was around 50min of pushing.


You should never be left pushing for more than 1 1/2 hours as once you have been pushing for that amount of time your cervix will be inflamed and therefore the baby won't progress or if it does you are more likely to have a very bad tear.

1.5 hours with my dd...i think it was longer as I started pushing lying down...I then changed to a squatting position and things went really quickly...she was there within 20 minutes.

 

[we can't wait]

I pushed for around 30-40 minutes.

I started pushing about 9:05, he was coming down quickly so they called the dr and we all just hung around for about 50 minutes. I literally pushed 4 contractions my entire labor. 2 before the dr came and 2 for the dr, he was born at 10:01

Just gave birth to my first 3 days ago and it took only 15 mins. Babys heartbeat was dropping and I heard the words assistance and we need to get this baby out and did I push then! He came out back to back and I needed few stitches afterwards.
