I pushed for 20 minutes with my 1st, 7 minutes with my 2nd, and it took 2 pushes for both my 3rd and 4th. I didn't have an epidural with any of them.

I had epidural with my first . Just felt pressure. The epidural definitely slows down the labor process. But only pushed for like 30 mins. With my second I didn't have time for epidural I had him an hour after I got to hospital. I pushed three or four times and he was out. I had a fast delivery he had some bruising but I only needed one stitch

I had an epidural, no pain, maybe a little pressure, but nothing to speak of, 4 pushes and she was out. I did tear, but didn't really notice. The stitching wasn't that pleasant. 6lbs. 12oz. This one I'm afraid she's going to be a lot bigger. But we will all get through it! One way or another.

I pushed for 2 hours and my epidural wore off long before I started pushing. It hurt more than I can say. I was cut and had a ton of stitches after. My daughters head was 34 cm around and she weighed 8 lbs 3 oz.

With my first, I pushed for 20 min.
Second 15 minutes, my third for 5 minutes..
All were natural births, it hurt the Worst when crowning!
Good luck to you.

Pushed for over three hours, all med-free, to deliver my 9lb boy with no tearing or damage, not even a skid mark. A faster delivery would have ripped me up so I'm glad I could feel everything and wasn't rushed with pitocin.

Ftm. Pushed for 2 hours.  The pain was shocking and intense.  I had a spinal earlier but it was no longer working. It's amazing what we are capable of.

It took me just over an hour of pushing but I've spoken to plenty who pushed once twice & out the baby came. It depends on the Labour I guess. As for epidural I've never had one so I couldn't tell you soery

My first, I pushed for 2 hours and they cut me open. My second, I pushed for 10 minutes and tore because there wasn't time to cut me. It's different with all of them.

Took me 10 min to push out both of my pregnancies. I didn't rip and didn't cut me. Which I'm so glad because I heard that's the worst. ESP if you get stiches. So I did a lot of squats, stretches and kegels.

It all depends on body type and how big/small baby is..Pushing can take 20mins or an hour, there is no set time
