I had pains off and on all day and then around 10 p.m. they started to get really bad. I just thought baby was laying strangely and pressing against my bladder/pelvis as it seemed to only hurt when I felt her move. Then at about 3:30 a.m. I couldn't stand it anymore and we went to the hospital. Checked in at 4 a.m., did a quick check and said I was 7-8 cm. Was 10 cm at 5 a.m. and started pushing. At 11 a.m. still pushing and the doctor said c-section. She was born at 11:23 a.m. So roughly 12 hours of "real" labor total I'd say.

3.5 hours, had G&A after being induced with a pessary once. It just triggered everything and DD flew out lol x

no idea about phases as haven't seen notes, wouldn't be very helpfull anyways. they didn't bother checking how dilated I was until the new midwife came at 8:30 am and found out I was already 6cm dilated! could have been in the pool a whole centimeter before.....

waters broke at 2am, contractions were regular around 3am, started pushing around 11:30am and benjamin was born at 12:10 so I say aound 9 hours for the whole thing....pretty quick for a 8.8 baby!
