First labor was 9 hours long. I went from 6cm to 10 and fully effaced in an hour and 20 min. No drugs. Had back labor for about 3 hours but it wasn't as bad as I had thought. They put me in a jacuzzi.About 15 minutes later he was out.
Second labor lasted about 2 1/2 hours. I almost had him at home if it weren't for two friends pushing me to go to the hospital. We were at the hospital for 20 minutes. Again, too fast for meds but didn't really need them. Contractions felt like cramps. The dr did break my water about 5 minutes before my second was born, and I think that is why it went so fast. I was NOT too happy about that. Letting your body go as natural as you can, and moving your body as your body sees fit.

1st baby due 7/11/04 had a membrane sweep on the 12/11/04 got sent in to be induced on the 18/11/04
from 8am to around 9pm they used those tablets that they put inside you to loosed your cervix, by 11pm I was only 3cm, they broke my waters by 3am I had a epidural 4am 5cm 5am 5cm 6.20am 19/11/2004 born my emergancy c section due to fetal distress. then my other 2 were also sections.

With my first baby I was in labor 11-12 hours total and it was a natural birth. My second baby I was in labor for only 4 hours and had an surprise natural birth at home. With my third baby I had a c-section cause he was breech. My fourth baby I was in labor for 12-13 hours and had a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). This time I have no idea how long I will be in labor once my baby decides to be born. I hope not real long. I hope you have a safe delivery!

My labour started spontaniously at 40+4 days after I bounced on my ball all morning and stimulated my nipples for half an hour then my water broke, it lasted 11 hours and it was my first :) things moved very quickly for me! xx

thanks for the responses, reason im asking is because this is my 4th baby and im expecting a quick labor but i know that does not always happen.

I am pregnant with my first,but my sister had her boy a year ago. She had her first contraction at 11:40pm and baby was born 100% naturally without pain medication at 01:17am!! Very easy delivery!!

With my first pregnancy I woke up at 4.30 am with mild contractions and then I noticed in the toilet that my mucus plug is coming out . The contractions was in every 15 min . , then around 10:00 am in the morning the contractions started to be really really painful and we rushed to the hospital .. They checked me and I went into the pool ( as I had water birth). Then the contractions was really strong and coming in every 3 min . My only pain relief was the gas ( entonox ) .At 5:45 pm they broke my water artificially and finally at 7:04 pm ...I had my liittle baby boy . I wasnt induced and everything was all natural. ...Now Im waiting to see how long will be my labor with my second baby :) Good luck!
