From my first contraction till I had my baby boy it was 12 hours, sounds long but it went in fast 4 me probably coz I was spaced out lol. I dilated quite quick at firs-, was 1 cm @ 3am and 9cm @ 8am although it took me till 12 to have him

That last cm was a killer lol x

I was induced, when they put the gel in I was 2cm but had no contractions, that was at 4.30pm on the Thurs.

Contractions started (well painful ones!) about 11pm Fri night, had her 9pm Sat night. Oh and had my waters broken about 7.30pm as they hadn't gone.

Really don't wanna be induced this time

About 6 hours Stage 1 to baby, but I was in early labour for 9 before that, I just didn't know it.

4 hours and 15 mins. I was upright or on a bouncy ball leaning over the bed until I needed to push. I think staying upright really helped. I will deffo be using a birthing ball again because the bouncing really really helped me..

They say that for each labour, the time is cut in half. It didnt quite work that way for me, but it also depends on if you are induced or not. That tends to take longer. xxx

This is one of the reasons I don't want to be induced again, I want to be able to stand and walk about rather than be strapped to a bed on a monitor

I'm pretty sure that didn't help
