For ladies who have had vaginal births before: How fast/ slow were your labours?

KamKol · Mar 19th, 2010, 14:41 PM

From stage 1 all the way up until stage 3 - what was your total time?

And what did you do to try and speed up labour?

My 1st was 56 hrs, then resulted in c-sec
2nd was 14 hrs
3rd was 9 hrs
4th was 2 1/2 hrs, but I was already 5 cm, so once the broke my water I went into active labour and things happened quick!
5th, will be one hour, totally painless, and I better not be jinxing myself
