How long?

36 hours! It felt like 36 days! I ended up having forceps due to 'overly long' second stage???? :blush:
 
Active labour is from 4cm dilated until birth.

In total, my labour lasted for nearly 30 hours (with around 22 - 25 hours active labour!). I lost my plug around nine o'clock at night on the Sunday night and immediately started getting contractions. By about 11 o'clock I was getting three contractions every ten minutes lasting for about ninety seconds. When I went into the Midwife Unit at around 2 in the morning, they said I was just over 4cm dilated. Then my labour slowed down (I was still getting three long contractions every 10 minutes all the way through) and I gave birth at 11.51 on the Monday night.
 
I was induced and the minute they started it I was having contractions. I was in labour for 30 hours before having to have a csection.
 
16 1/2 hours, would of been longer but I wouldn't dilate anymore so they just decided to do a c-section
 
I was in slow labour all day.Active labour for 3.5 hours :happydance: one of the lucky ones! Although not sure how they worked out my active labour time as when i went in first time round I was 1.5cm so they sent me home, when I went back I was 8cm!! Think they might have just made up a number
 
well i never made it past 3 bloody cm's :rofl: for me it was 40hours of god awful contractions, during which time the hospital actually sent me home and spent the whole night with constant contractions and terrible pain :cry: after 40hours i was still 3cm and ended up with c-section :dohh: it has to be said i'm not normally one for the dramatics and was pretty shocked how mine turned out x
 
Active labour for about 2 ish hours :)
 
I had my waters broken at 5.20pm, contractions started at 5.45pm, Lexie was born at 12.02am. 6 hours 17 minutes from start to finish with 1 hour and 2 minutes of pushing!
Reading everyone elses posts i think i was one of the lucky ones!
 
I was having pains for 2 days but I don't think they classed that as ''being in labour'' so from 4pm to 2:39am when I had her. :) Not very long.
 
About 36 in total before it was decided a c-section would be a better option. :cry: was so painful but worth every minute.
 
From the time I was induced it was 18 hours before I ended up needing to get a c-section.
 
i was in labour for 21 hours ish, and about a week of slow labour, or at least thats what i think, as i had contractions that would stop then one night they went from 10 mins right down to 2 and half mis with in 10 mins or so i went straight to hospital and was 5 cm i cant of gone from 0 to 5 in 1 hour!!!!1 thats the longest part so i must of been dilating for the previous week lol. xxx
 
With my first I was induced and like Pinkmac said from the minute they started the pitocin I started to have contractions... after 6 days of that and 2 days with broken waters, I demanded a c-section... and got it within hours :rofl:
