DS#1: 26 hours from water breaking (no contractions) to birth, actually more like 12 hours of active labor and almost 2 hours of pushing = only 14 hours
DS#2: 6 hours from water breaking (instant contractions) to baby out
Both were unmedicated births - first was in a hospital with midwives, second was in a free-standing birth center
