    2.5 hours from the time my water broke until my little man was in my arms.  Before my water broke, I wasn't even having contractions.

  • 56 hours. I never had the "cramps." I started off with painful contractions. DD was born at 39w 3d. No pain meds, very few pushes.
  • 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

    Two boys already - ages 5 and 3...

    ...baby #3 is here...

  • 12 hours. I think I pushed for just under two hours.
