How long did Labour last for you?

Induced at 38 weeks. Felt NOTHING for 2 days. Induced 3 times. Finally 3rd time, I felt pain but not crazy pain till 3 hours. Epidural failed LOL. They administer twice both times failed. FYI, when they checked my dilation in the delivery suite after being in the hospital for 2 days!!!! It was freaking 2cm. Buttttttt, things sped up once doc broke my waterbag. They broke at 12? I gave birth by 3pm. I was really lucky. Advice? Have no expectations….go with the flow. Be positive! And oh, walk alotttt even if you feel heavy and tired. IT HELPS DILATE FASTER. All the best!!!!☺️

Not sure if you would consider this quick. Induced at 38 weeks. Labour started at around 2.30am and got an epidural at about 8am. Baby was born at 1.48pm. I was stuck at about 3cm for a while. I tried to refocus and not be anxious about the number and things progressed. Had a natural assisted birth (vacuum). Maybe the refocoussing helped with the dilation, as I was less anxious.

Induced at 38 weeks. Start to feel slight contractions at 12am so continue to wait till almost 5am, contractions was unbearable so asked for epidural. Took epidural at 6am and was at 4cm dilation. Gave birth at 12pm. Took almost 1.5 hours to push coz no stamina. Managed to push her out before doctor decided to vacuum her out. I did drink raspberry tea and did squats too.

2 hours labour for mine and first child. Reached hospital was 6cm and 8cm with dilation. Epi effect didn't manage to kick in fast enough. Walk more probably helps cos I walked quite abit.

1.5hrs labour. Not in time for epi and not required. Walk more and squats can help in dilation. Reach hospital at 5cm, when gynae reach was ard 10cm, straight push.

mine was induced at 39 wks took 6 hours. raspberry leave tea and frequent deep squats i feel played a part for my 'quick'labour

First pregnancy with epidural. 16 hours in labour, push for 1 and a half hour.

30+ hours for me with epidural

48 hours
