Those with 3 can you take my labour poll?

DS1 was 27 hours and c-section

DS2 was  a vbac 5 horus, natural...hurt like heck!

DS3 was a vbac 3 hours, natural, fairly easy labor (I could have handled a few more hours)

 #1  about 6 hours, back labor, 3 hours was pushing, difficult birth

#2  about 2.5 hours, natural, easy labor (well as easy as labor can be I guess)

#3  about 5 hours total, water broke at beginning so was mroe painful and longer than #2 but way easier than #1

ds1 was the worst only 4hrs 45min though so very bearable

ds2 the easiest 4hrs 30min 2 pushes and done

ds3 the longest (just) 5hrs 15min but not as painful as ds1

I voted longer and less painful but none were just really bad, but my first 2 were no more than 8 hours if that, and #3 was 13 hours, but I was also induced with her, so that may have had an affect on how things went too

My labors were progressively shorter, but equally as painful before recieving the epi I would say.  I had epidurals with all four, and don't regret it for a second!

DS1-33 hrs labor 4 hrs pushing

DD1-6 hrs labor less than min pushing

DS2-5 hrs labor 9 min pushing

DD2-7 hrs labor 6 min pushing

a little shorter but the pain still the same BAD!!!!!!!

DC#1-10hrs

DC#2-5hrs

DC#3-13hrs

I had an epi with my first and last but with my second I went natural. I think the epi's prolonged my labors but made the process more tolerable for me.

#3 was my shortest and least painful labor. All three were completely natural births. #1 was at a free-standing birth center and #2 and #3 were at home in the bath tub.

#1 was 7 hours but very intense the whole time.

#2 was 9 hours but only intense for the last hour or two.

#3 was 6 hours and had moments of intensity but nothing unbearable. I only pushed for something like 6 minutes and all of a sudden her head just shot out without me ever feeling her crowning. No "ring of fire" at all with my #3!

 First baby- 8hrs total. Painful for about 5 hrs of it. He was born with his hand up over head. Pushed for 25 mins.

Second baby- Had about 7 hrs of prodromal(easy, early labour with zero pain but consistent cx's)labour and 2 hrs of painful cx's. Pushed for 7 mins. He was born sunnyside up and a face presentation to boot. My back labour was horrific and I would have taken a much longer labour without the back pain in comparison.

Third baby- Sporadic cx's for a few hrs with no pain. 1 hr of "transition like" painful labour. Pushed for 15 mins. Easiest birth by far. He was in a great position as well.

DD1    3 1/2 hours (most painful)

DD2    75 mins born face up

DD3    3 1/2 hours born face - up

I think DD1 was the worst because i was induced.
