monchichi · January 2009

#1: 1.5 hours

#2: 2.5 MINUTES!?

Zenya · January 2009

I think about 45 minutes with my first and 15 minutes with my second.

KeML · January 2009

#1: almost 2 hours

#2 20 minutes

mamarazzi · January 2009

#1: 15 minutes

#2: 50 minutes (he was "sunny side up" and had his head completely turned to one side --with one ear facing up, so he was harder to get out)

shopgirl78 · January 2009

2.5 hrs

45 mins?

jnicks19 · January 2009

2+ hours with my first and using a vacuum.

15 mins or less with the second!!

tammiRN · January 2009

#1--47 minutes

#2--3 pushes, so maybe 5 minutes?

zacook · January 2009

#1-->3 contraction about 10min.

#2--> 1 contraction 3 pushes about 2 min?

DzsGirl · January 2009

15 min with my 1st

6 min with my 2nd

babykin18 · January 2009

1st time..a little over an hour.

2nd time..3 pushes.

And they were basically the same size.

SumnerBride · January 2009

With #1: 6 times

With #2: 2 times

Hence, the 3rd degree tears both times.

Brideofranken · January 2009

45 minutes the first time, 4 minutes the second time ( he had lots of fluid in his stomach and lungs from not spending too much time getting it smooshed out in the birth canal, though...but the four minutes of pushing was cool!

madison · January 2009

1. 45 min

2. 12 min

ilovemygirls · January 2009

For both #1 and #2 I pushed maybe 3-4 times w/each & it took probably 10 or so minutes...

kelly&paul · January 2009

#1 2 hours 42 minutes

#2 maybe 2 minutes, she kind of came on her own, I didn't do much.

Charlotte883 · January 2009

1. 3 hours (sunny-side up and crooked as well)

2. 3 pushes (and she was a 10lber)

Halo79RN · January 2009

#1 - 2hr

#2 - through 3 contractions

EMT · January 2009

#1 - 2 hours

#2 - 30 min but he was sunny side up

Marchmamma · January 2009

DD#1 53 minutes

DD#2 2 pushes (3minutes?)

mamao · January 2009

#1 was 3.5 hours (my epidural was too good and I had a hard time feeling it.)

#2 was about 20 minutes (?) I got to the hospital fully dilated and there wasn't time for an epidural. If given the chance, I'd probably do this again. Yes it was hard b/c they wouldn't let me push until the doc arrived, but once she got there the pushing was a lot easier.

Sweet&Spicy · January 2009

#1 maybe 10 min

#2 maybe 5 min

Glendi2.0 · January 2009

#1: 3.5 hours

#2: 15 minutes. woo hoo!

HasteTheDay · January 2009

About 20 minutes with both.?

It would have been longer with my second if they hadn't had to suck her out. =o( My contractions never got closer than 3 minutes apart for some reason. She was having trouble and needed to be out. Thank God they knew what to do! ?

goodhartedmommy · January 2009

3.5 hours with Ethan, 1 push with Bella, and only a push or two with Maile (that part of my delivery I don't remember, so am only basing it off of what my husband and midwife told me)
