My first was 4 weeks early and weighed 6 lbs., 1/2 oz., after 13 hours of labor.
My second was 3 weeks late and weighed 9 lbs. even, after 13 hours of labor (which was induced because CLEARLY she was never coming out).
My third was 12 weeks early and weighed 1 lb. 15 oz. No labor, emergency c-section.

Hospitals and Epidurals all around.

All of my babies were induced at the hospital and had epidurals with all of them.
My first weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz., 12 hours
My second weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz., 11 hours
My third weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz., 8 hours.
My fourth weighed 8 lbs. 8 oz., 8 hours.

Not too awful long. My mom was in labor with me for close to 48 hours. Now that would be scary!

Hello everyone! I just joined hehe. I am a stay home mom with 5 kids. I had my tubes tied right after my youngest boy. And he was an induced baby and I used epidural and he came out in an hour! He was the fastest baby ever came out of me lol!

Wow 1 1/2 hours of labor, 4 hours. Why couldn't mine have been so fast?!?! lol

Hannah was 1 week late. She was way too easy! Thought my water broke around 10:30PM saturday (It didn't). Went to hospital, got checked in around 11:30, they said I was 6cm (hadn't felt a thing). Since she was late and I was already so dilated, they gave me my epidural and broke my water. Around 3 her heart rate slowed a little, so they gave pitocin. She was born at 5:50 and I didn't feel a thing.

If I ever have another (trying, no luck yet) I am hoping it will be just as easy, but it will probably be horrible! LOL

Well 4 hours is long for me, but I will take it. lol I am really nervous that my next one will be a super long labor. With no meds or anything the next go around, I will just have to keep hope that it will go the way I want.

1 1/2 hours actually kinda sucked. I had no pain at all, my water broke just after midnight, and 5 minutes later I was in transition. She was born at 1:28 a.m. I think the pain is worse when it doesn't gradually build up. Four hours was perfect! It was probably a little longer than that but the first contraction that I felt woke me up at 5 a.m. and she was born at 8:53 a.m.

Well even 4 hours seem short to me. And a contraction waking you up? I have to say I think being induced all 4 times that is what I missed out on. I remember with my 4th one I was thinking "I hope I go in to labor before they ask me to pick a day." I just wanted to experience that part of pregnancy also. Maybe we will eventually try again for a boy, who knows.

Four hours is short and perfect. Not too long, pain gradually increases. Yeah I woke up in labor with Natalia. My contractions on that point were about 3 minutes apart. My friend Zara thinks I am crazy because I got up and got in the shower and labored in the shower for a bit, got dressed. Once I lost my plug I went in to the hospital and was only there for an hour before Natalia made her debut.
