I was in labor for 36.5 hours and ended with an emergency c-section, so I was in labor, start to finish for 37.5 hours. This labor will be smoother, it's a scheduled c-section!!
My labor was 12hrs, only pushed 20min. It went by quick & very smoothly.
I can't speak for everyone but I labored for 9 hours and pushed for 4 hours. it would have been shorter had I gone natural but my blood pressure would sky rocket with every contraction. I did an epidural at a 6 (it took me 2 hours to dilate to a 6)
First labor is usually longer because your body isn't use to it, however not everyone is that way. I was in labor 14 hours with my first. I was in labor but scheduled for a c-section so they went ahead and took my second but labor was progressing much faster with the second one.
I was in labor forever lol. From start to c section 60hours 36 mins!😳
