well all of mine have come fast I have had just over 12 total hours of labor and have 4 kids I was induced with my last 3 because I live so far from hospital and the first was almost born in car with under 2 hours labor.

It's not as bad as I thought then...I thought it would last for atleast 2 days (I know some unlucky ladies do)

I was induced at 38 weeks. My waters were broken at 10am and was put on a hormone drip to encourage contractions. First contraction came at about 12:00 and I had Keeley at 7:50pm and Jake at 7:59pm - so about 10 hours from start to finish. Didn't feel that long though - it went quite quickly lol

i was 21 long painfall hours, but baby got into random position so i was told this was a rare labour

mine was roughly 7 hours but went from 4cm to 10cm in like 10 mins as soon as my waters broke and only pushed a few times. Hope this ones as easy! xx

not sure what you call stage 1...i started have contractions in the middle of the night but once they got to be about 5-6 minutes apart and i got in the hospitalmy labor lasted about 8 hours...they broke my water and i had dd 3 1/2 hours later. (when i got to hospital i was only dilated a 3... to get the ball rolling the did a membrane scrape the day before and a pitocin drip during the labor.

my 1st was 11 hours induced though and it was very quick with no tear
my 2nd was 1 hour no tear
my 3rd was about 50 minutes no tear
my 4th was 2 hours no tear
all of the above include contractions,water breaking,active labour and delivery summed up
