Vag delivery, 2+ mommas
How long did you push with your first compared to the second+? I pushed with DS for 1.5 hours and I am hoping it is faster this time around.

this.
#1 - 2 hours
#2 - 2 pushes
I'm worried this one is just going to slide out. lol
ETA - I had an epi with #1 and couldn't feel what I was doing. That is why it took so long. I didn't have anything with #2. Plus, #1's head was the size of a beach ball and #2 had a little pin head.
#1 pushed through like 3 contractions, less than 30 minutes
#2 can't remember for sure but it wasn't much longer than my first (had an epi with her but not my first)
#3 1 long steady push
1st - 30 min
2nd - 20 min - the Dr said it would have been a lot quicker if the cord wasn't wrapped around her neck and body.
#1- about 1.5 hours
#2- maybe 20 minutes if not less
I had an epi for both.
1.5 hrs
10 minutes (abt 8 pushes)
1.5 hrs is not bad but I hope it does go faster for you the next time!
I think the epi really slowed me down, too. We hope to have one more so I am hoping that one will come out a LOT faster! (And this time I will ask them to turn the epi down for pushing if necessary; I didn't have the presence of mind to do that last time.)
the actual PUSHING ...
45 min #1
19 min #2
I know. Three minutes, three pushes. I probably could have had him out in two, but my doctor made me stop so that she could unwind the cord from his neck.
DD#1- 34 minutes.
Twin A- 10 minutes
Twin B went transverse when DD#2 came out, so 45 minutes with him!
DD #1 passed away in January 2011 at 14 days old due to congenital heart disease
DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
1 hour with #1. 2 contractions #2. She came out butt first and I went from 8 cm to giving birth in 15 mintues, so I'm guessing it would have been even faster (eeek!) if she would have come out head first.
1 hour with #1. 1 contraction #2 but that also includes pushing without a contraction since she came out butt first. I went from 8 cm to giving birth in 15 mintues, so I'm guessing it would have been even faster (eeek!) if she would have come out head first.
A little over 1.5 hours with DD1.
23 minutes with DD2. And that was including a short shoulder dystocia. I felt like she flew out.
Was he positioned weird? Try to fix it BEFORE labor if this one is. My first was over three days and my second was over a day and a half.
Once we got her into position at the end it went so fast. It literally took less than an hour from her flipping to baby.
2 hours for #1
20 minutes for #2
2 hours for #1
3 pushes (maybe 90 seconds total?) for #2.
epidural and 18 hour labor with #1 (8lbs 10 oz), no pain meds and 4 hour total labor with #2 (7 lb 2 oz).
I had 4, full-term + vaginal births. With each consecutive delivery, the pushing phase got easier & faster, with the exception of #4, who was crooked (and a VERY large boy at 9lbs, 9oz).
Our Angel Boy- m/c in 2007 @ 9wks due to Trisomy 17
I have 3 kiddos and labor got shorter with each one but I did push longer with my second (DS) He was bigger (8 lbs) than both my girls so I think that's why. But labor itself was shorter than my first.
First Child (DD) - 8 hours of Labor about 5-8 pushes.
Second Child (DS) - 6 hours of Labor about10 - 12 pushes.
Third Child (DD#2) - 4 hours of Labor - exactly 2 pushes.
