Child: A, the "outside baby", the "inside baby" is still inside
Birth Weight: 6lb 8 oz
How long did you push: I'm not sure but not that long. We arrived at the hospital at 11-ish am and she was born at 1:12pm, and I don't think I started pushing until well after noon. My water didn't break until she was almost out.
Total Hours of Labor: 7 hrs, 12 minutes. I woke at 6am with a contraction and went from there.Child: Miss P, 1st for now

Child: first and only right now
Birth Weight: 7 lbs 5 oz
How long did you push: 1.5 hours
Total Hours of Labor: 15.5 hours; I was induced at 41w6d
Child: Chickie, my one 'n' only
Birth Weight: 7 lbs 6 oz
How long did you push: I pushed ... like, five times. I didn't know until later that that was really easy, when everyone kept saying how lucky I was.
Total Hours of Labor: Not really sure. I started having some labor signs on Friday, and cramp-like contractions Saturday night around 9pm. Went to bed but couldn't really sleep. Hubby got up at 6 and we started timing them then. I had to concentrate through them a little more at 7ish. At 11, I asked the doula to come over, went to the hospital at 1:30 after my water broke at home, and she was born at 3:13. So, if you count from first contractions (early labor), about 19 hours. If you count from real contractions, maybe 8 hours? ETA: And if you count from water breaking, about 2 hours.
