and how much time of your labor was spent actually pushing? mine was 18 hours, the last 3 of which i pushed, and pushed (all natural, no pain killers at all), until my adorable now 8 month old son was born. my friend, on the other hand, spent a total of 2 1/2 hours start to finish!!! both our first.

I was induced at about 3:00 in the afternoon, had my water rebroken at about 6ish (broke on it's own, but labor was not progressing because I had a double sac) followed by an epidural. Started pushing around 11:40 pm and a beautiful baby boy was born at 12:10 am. half a hour of pushing and total labor of 9 hour.
Now I am waiting to see if my current pregnancy when I am ready to deliver will take shorter, longer or the same amount of time. They say every delivery is different.

Mine was pretty much the same as yours....18 hours total, three was pushing...however, because I was induced by pitocin, my idea of "i don't want drugs" went right out the window!! Had my epi at 4cm and went to sleep for a bit!! (Hey, don't blame me! If I hadn't had minute long or longer contractions with usually less than 30 seconds between them, which wasn't even long enough to catch my breath, I would've tried to go it without!!)
Anyways, after about 2 or so hours of pushing, I had to have assistance by means of the vacuum and then, finally (after loads of pain, i might add...yes, even though I had the epidural and a booster when I got to 10!) our beautiful daughter was born...1:07am on a saturday morning.
She was 8lb 11oz and was 9 days overdue!
She is now 3 years old and has become such a beautiful little girl, so lively and intelligent! Brings a tear to a mommy's eyes!!

well my son was induced two weeks after his due date.
the entire labour lasted 7 hours start to finish and i had an epidural because i have NO pain threshold whatsoever i cry when i get a headache, so u can imagine how much of a cry baby i was....
anyway i was only pushing for 30 minutes or so until Blake was born it the whole labour felt like 1 hour i suppose i was lucky 1st time around but i am due to have number 2 in 2 weeks so we'll see how this one goes! lol
i feel sorry for u being in labour for 18 hours but good on u for not needing drugs

My labor started on a Friday evening around 7pm, I delivered on Sunday at 3:07 pm and pushed for 20 minutes.
I arrived at the hospital fully dialated, when the nurse went to check how far dialated I was she accidently broke my water, shortly after that I had the urge to push and 20 minutes later my little guy (7lbs 14oz) arrived!
No drugs of any kind! It was GREAT!

My first born was a total of 4 hours with about 20 minutes of pushing, no drugs whatsoever. Dont believe the people that say that your 1st baby will take hours! That's not always true!

52 hours, give or take a couple, followed by 3 hours of pushing. And an emergency C-section.
Things started at 5am on a Monday, and she wasn't born until 2:30pm on Wednesday.
They discovered a skeletal abnormality that wouldn't allow her head to pass. When they opened me up, it took four hands and a vacuum to get her out!
She was my first.
Second time was a scheduled C-section. That bone hadn't changed, and I had preeclampsia for a second time and couldn't be induced because of the prior C-section.

Wy water broke at 3:45pm, I got to the hospital at 4:40 and was dilated to 5. I was fully dilated at 5:30pm, and I pushed for about 20 minutes and my daughter was born at 6:00pm. From start to finish it was 2 hours and 15 minutes. I had Stadol through the IV for pain, but that was it.
