About 5 min (3 sets of pushes)- didn't get much of a break In between.
Dr said I'm not a typical FTM!

This was me too!

Jenmarie279 · October 2013

About 20 minutes

Honeyb416 · October 2013

FTM - had to hold off on pushing for doc to get there...pushed for 15 min but like PP said most of it was waiting for the next contraction which had slowed to about 5 min apart. So total of 3 pushes

Burrberrymum · October 2013

I pushed for no more than 15 minutes.

janelleashu · October 2013

2.5 hours for this FTM. My water hadn't broken before pushing. I pushed for 1 or 2 contractions after my MW manually ruptured my water.

Jennybenny5785 · October 2013

25 minutes for me

psychgirl33 · October 2013

1 1/2 hours with DD1, 30 minutes with DD2.

FTM - 24 mins after 10 hours of labor

PrettyInPearls23 · October 2013

20 minutes.

Funny side note.... DS was born at 11:02 AM and DH said that as I was pushing my last push, the announcer guy on The Price is Right was saying "Come on down on the TV.

SeptMommyX2 · October 2013

DS's labor was 6 hours, pushed for 20 min. DD's labor was 4 hours, pushed for 5 min.

nata59 · October 2013

I pushed for over 2.5 hours before they decided I needed a c-section. LO was sunny side up and her head wouldn't pass.

blondii428 · October 2013

About and hour and a half unmedicated.

Curls218 · October 2013

29 min. Once he started crowning he basically fell out. My doc wasn't even in the room yet! Thankfully it was a teaching hospital and the chief resident was already there.

thebabyA · October 2013

30 minutes or less first baby for me. I got epi on the last half hour which all I had to do was push whenever I thought I felt something.. it was relaxing. Gave in and got one after twentsix hours of being up and in labor.

SweetPeaK26 · October 2013

30 minutes? It was 7 contractions.

Dd2 was 1.5 pushes total. I actually had to make myself not push while waiting for the OB with her.

Dd1 was 2.5 hours and 30 min of vacuum assisted pushing/pulling.

JamieWM · October 2013

45 mins after 20 hours of labor ftm

Babybabybabyohhhhhhh · October 2013

2.5 hours

kje120 · October 2013

It went really fast, so maybe 10-15 mins.

ETA: My entire labor was 2 hours 40 mins from water breaking to delivery.

mrssamarataylor · October 2013

About 45 mins. It didn't even seem that long though!

SarahE22nd · October 2013

Five minutes this time. Twenty minutes with my first.

tnt7409 · October 2013

Through three contractions, so maybe 3 minutes, but he was born no more than 10 minutes after I started pushing.
I pushed for over an hour with DD.

daynakako · October 2013

I pushed for under an hour.

kat81again2 · October 2013

I think about 10 min max. I'm a STM. It was longer with DS, more like 30 min. But I had an epi with him and none with DD.

TKtravels · October 2013

FTM - pushing took about 3.5 hours.. definitely the most physically demanding part of the whole L&D process. Still though, it wasn't too bad.

Schafer030910 · October 2013

About 15 minutes for my first & about 40 for this LO

Zoly1103 · October 2013

Over two hours. His head was right there but he was not coming out so we finally used the vacuum.

Loveniz · October 2013

1.5 hours

mcg512 · October 2013

6 hours total. Assisted delivery using vacuum suction.

mcphertm · October 2013

20 mins. I stopped pushing and the contractions pushed him out the rest of the way before the doctor got there!

Just over an hour for DD and 12 minutes for DS. This time my pushing was completely self guided, I wish DDs was too! I remember really wanting to push with her but they were making me stop.
