My contractions started at 3-5 minutes apart, 40 seconds long. Absolutely no prelabor, just right into active labor. I labored for 19 hours total, 15 of those were med free, ended in csection.

21 hours from when my water broke and contractions started to when I delivered. First 12 hours spent at home,  last 3 hours spent pushing. 100% med-free and worth every minute. Can't wait to do it again.

My labour started around 12h00 on a Sunday, only went in at 22h15 that night. Contractions really bad, about 2-3 min apart. Was induced 11h00 Monday morning, contractions 1min apart. At 16h00 no progress and had an emergency c-section at 19h00. My beautiful baby girl was born 19h45 on the 16th of March. It really do ***** that I had to go through all that pain and end up having a c-section,at least I tried... just wasn't ment to be!

From 4:30 that morning to 12:36 that night lol didn't go to the hospital until my water broke at 11:30 that after noon. Pain wasn't nearly as bad as I thought so I didn't go until my water broke and I realised I was in labor lol I had a uti not long before then and was same kind of pain so I thought I was just hurting from it again. Relativly easy labor.

36 hours, wasn't a nice labour, my daughter also got stuck at her shoulders (she was back to back) and I have issues with my placenta coming away. I'm hoping for a nicer labour this time round.
