When talking about Kynan people invariably ask how how long I was in labour for. When I asked the midwife about this when he was born she said you go by 'established' labour and that for me it was 3.5 hours (going from when I was 4-5cm dilated & ARM). However just about everyone else I know goes by when they started the 1st stage or even prelabour... when they had their first contraction or when they had the induction gel in etc. So is there an official way to measure the length of labour?
