I just wanted to start a thread on how long your labor lasted. First pregnancy and then second or more if you have more. I just thought it would be interesting to see because every woman is different.

This is my first pregnancy so I can't tell about mine yet, but my sister was induced with Pitocin and was in labor for 21 hours (not 22 like I thought).

But again, I just am curious as to what everyone else's is. Good luck to all you ladies out there even if it is not your first...it is still a special time. :D

1 1/2 hours with all three. Pitocin is great!

I started having the mild back labor and mild contractions around 2am in the middle of a special movie theatre night..lol and stayed! I went to the hospital and slept through it. Next morning it had slowed down so I said, "I'm not leaving without a kid" had them break the water at 10am and pushed her out at the end for 20 mins and she was out at exactly 4pm. And this was my first child! I think length and time is all depending on each person. Its so different. I know a women who labored for over 24 hrs and one who labored for 2 hours so it varies!

I started having very mild contractions with my first son around 7 AM. Went to the hospital just to be checked, was sent home, returned to the hospital around 10 PM and delivered at 3:41 AM. The pain was only bad for about 4 hours at most, but I guess I was in labor for about 21 hours. Before the last 4 hours it was like menstrual cramps. With my second, I started having mild contractions around 6 PM, went to the hospital around 4 AM (when the pain got bad) and delivered at 6 AM, about 12 hours total.

I started having contractions at exacly 2:00 am. Started to get bad about 5. Got to the hospital at 5:30am. Pushed her out at exactly 9:45am. So 7 hours and 45 minutes. Not bad for the first one. They say the second one is shorter so hopefully I won't be in labor all that long with this one.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
