Let see if I count from the moment contractions became obviously frequent and I knew I was in labor my first was a little over 4hrs, 2nd a little over 2 hrs, my 3rd was almost 4hrs.
I counted my last pregnancy from the time my water broke. So in that case I was in labour for 22 hours. From the time my water broke to the time baby was born if that makes sense ?
I start from regular contractions. With my first, my labour was 10 hours. From 11am-9:05pm. With my second, my labour was about the same, 8.5 hours. From 1:30pm-10:06pm.
With my first, my water broke and then contractions started to come gradually. I started the clock from water breaking. But now you made me think ? lol
Well if I say so I swore I was in labor for 2 weeks having painful OMG he's coming having hubby take me to the hospital every night contractions Granted they weren't 5 mins apart but they were happening all day everyday But I go by when I was admitted to the hospital I had a 24 hour labor with 4 hours of pushing.
Thank you all for your responses !!! If I count from being admitted it would be 23 hours . If I count from consistent contractions(when active labor started) it would be 32 hours . I labored at home as long as I could . Either way it's an experience I'm glad is over ?

First time round I was told by midwife that it’s from when you are emitted in hospital. X

You can count from whenever but medically it's from when you're in active labor until the baby comes out. Most women count prelabor thoigh

Personally I counted from when I hit 4cm because from there I progressed and progressed was 17 hours from when I turned 4cm to when I delivered.
