With my firstborn, my son, it was only 4 hours.
I was told that 2nd labors usually are quicker, so I thought it would be a piece of cake...well, that girl took her sweet time...21 HOURS! Oy.

Hey ,what about DADS ?
Do you girls think that it's a picnic for them......all that pushing & shoving is stressful !
Okay , so the women bear the pain but look how soon you forget all of that ! The poor guy has all of the emotional pain & the visuals to deal with !
How about a bit of empathy here ,huh ?

My first was about 12 hours, second was less than 2 hours (almost had her in the car), and the third was about 4 hours. For the most part, early labor wasn't too bad at all but the last hour was tough.

I was 2 weeks over due with my first, and I had to be induced, I was in labor for about 7 hours with her... I went into labor on my own with my second and he took about 8 hours. I am due this Feb with my 3rd... we'll see how long that takes :)

My first was 24 hours from the time the doctor stripped my membranes to induce me until my son was born. We will see about number 2...

13 hours with my first. I had cervadil. I'm not sure if that made a difference or not. I've read that the affects are similar to pitocin. I won't know about #2 until November.
