Mine was 7 or 8 hours from the first contraction I got. Midwife was quite shocked that it was so quick and said the average labour for first baby is usually about 24 hours! Was very painful though.

i was induced- so it was 35 hours from the pessary inserted, 19 hours from the start of 'proper contractions' (rather than just tummy ache) and 13 hours from my waters breaking (at 3cm).
