First was around 23 hours with 2 1/2 of that pushing, I'm hoping second is shorter!

 

[ClairAye]

First was 38 altogether from waters going, 37 hours of contractions, 12 hours active and 1 hour 5 minutes pushing.

Second was 9 hours altogether and 8 minutes pushing.

43 hours ending in EMCS at 8cm hoping second is A LOT shorter if I go natural.

First labour was 56 hours and I pushed for 20 minutes.
Second labour was 2.5 hours and I pushed for 20 minutes. Big difference!

Both were spontaneous home births.

1- 8 hours (7 minutes of pushing)
2- 4 hours (4 minutes of pushing)
3- 16 hours (1 minute of pushing).

Obviously pushing is my forte

My first was 12 hours active labour and 20 minutes pushing (but I had been contracting every 10 minutes for 3 days leading up to it)

My 2nd was 12 hours from first contraction to birth (I did have a random night of contractions the night before though!) and 6 minutes pushing.
