Baby #2 - Was supposed to be a scheduled c-section, but my water broke 5 days earlier than the scheduled date. I was experiencing contractions for an hour before they wheeled me into the OR.
30 and 15 minutes?! Oh my! |

 Children: 2 Beautiful Girls. Elizabeth(14 months, 1 week, 1 day) & Hannah(1 month, 1 week, 5 days) | Re: How long were you in labour? | | I think I should of been an little more clearer of what labour is. It's when you start pushing, that's labour. The rest the refer to as contractions and don't really, as far as I know have a term for it. So when I asked how long you were in labour for it's when you started pushing.
If your calculating from when your contractions started that's different. |

I may not have pushed my babies out, but I certainly experienced labor with my DS. Forty-eight hours of contractions, pitocin, fully dilated .... They finally sent me to radiology, where they took x-rays and learned his head was stuck against my heart-shaped pelvis. My OB/GYN told me no baby would ever fit through. |
