DJ's labor all up was 31hours - i had rthe ouchy, rythmic ones from the get go. (first one at 7:30am the next at 7:35am lol and DJ finaly came out at 12:50pm) but if i was to go from 'active labour' it was just under 5 hours.
Vics labor was a case of waking up in transition (the shakes, the wanting to spew and one.word. responses. his labour was 1 hours and 43 mins. (first 'pain' was at 3am. vic flew into the world at 4:43am)
I was in labour from the Thursday before I gave birth until the Sunday when DS was born. So three days.....
My midwife said my true labour was 20 something hours but the labouryou get with a posterior birth is longer and different so we will see next tIme.
The day (Friday) before my due date (saturday), I had a s&s and was told I was 4cm dialated. The following Friday night, I went to bed with a heat pack like I had period pain, but there was no pain, just uncomfy. 10pm I told Andrew not to drink any more coz you just never know what will happen. He came to bed not long after. 1am I woke up with that feeling you get when you're asleep and you've got "the runs" and you need to get to the bathroom before something disastrous happens. But before I could go anywhere, the hind waters broke in bed. Contractions started not long after (I had time to shower, toilet, call hosp, shower, BB and head off). DS born 7:58am. Hosp count it as a 7hr labour, as do I. Probably would have gone quicker if someone had told me to push in the right spot. Least I know for this time round! :D
