Contractions are DEFINITELY labor. The contractions were worse than pushing for me.

The pushing was a relief for me. But as for pushing-
Isabella- about 45 minutes and we needed the vaccum extraction.
Josephine- about 30 minutes
Hannah- about 10 minutes
Natalia- about 20 minutes

yep what they said. contractions are labor, pushing is stage 2. Stage 3 is passing the placenta out.

I pushed maybe 15 minutes

I pushed for 15 minutes and didn't feel a thing because I had an epidural.

I was in labor for 23 hours, but it was only about 20 minutes of pushing.

After the epidural, pushing was cake compared to the pain of contractions

I couldn't imagine not having an epidural! What a difference before and after. My anesthesiologist was my best friend!

Rumor has it that labors are supposed to get shorter and easier w/ each kid. Not so for me...I had 26 hours of labor and pushed unsuccessfully for two 2-hr periods w/ my third baby. I ended up in the OR w/ a c-section. Go figure.

I'm due in about 8 weeks and will have a scheduled c-section this time. Hopefully I'm all done w/ labor and pushing!

After being 2 weeks late they scheduled me for an induction-I was in labor for 24 hrs., then 2 hours of unsuccesful pushing before they decided I needed a c-section, then we had to wait 2 hours for an operating room! Thank god for the epidural! I think the worst part about the whole thing was my poor husband feeling lost and not knowing what to do. Poor guy!!!
