re: Just curious...how long did you push?

I pushed for ten minutes I that? He was put in three pushes.
But I was saying for like 15/20 minutes that I was having a lot of pressure. The nurses said that if it was time to push I would HAVE to push. I said I could hold off on pushing so they said "then you're not ready."
Haha when the nurse checked me a bit later he was all "oh his head is right here, get the dr ASAP!"'
Lmao

4 minutes. My first push her head was out. Then my second push her body came out.

70 mins for my first and 7 minutes for second

Around 2 hours with my first, and like 8 minutes with my second

Erm less than 15 minutes each time I believe. Would have been faster with my second but I freaked out and somehow pushed her back in.

My first I pushed for 7 min. My second 20 min.

42 mins with my 1st. 5 mins with my second. It help going natural when pushing. I knew exactly which pushes were the "right" ones.

Quoting HeatherMarieJD3:" i only pushed for like mayybe 5 mins.. it was quick.. i dialated so fast so i didnt even get any pain ... [snip!] ... or anything. it hurt like hell and i remember the nurses saying i was lucky because it was fast. it was my first baby too."

Mine was the same.
I asked for the epi at 2cm. the nurse took forever to come back, and by the time she did, i was an 8 and told i couldn't get it.
10min later, i could feel him crowning. so the nurse comes in, tells me I'm a 8-9 and cant push yet...
i tried! but also told her she'd have a baby in her arms if they didn't get him into the delivery room NOW. haha.

They told me I would be pushing for 2 hours with DD but it only took 30 minutes.

Lol this is why ds took me 4 pushes. I'd get his head out and then suck him back in, the dr said his shoulders were "stuckish" and I had to have an episiotomy. After that he was out the last push!

Right? I wish it was only 20 minutes. That 3 hours felt like a lifetime

the smurfs forced to stop pushing because I was going to fast. Do you know how hard it is to NOT push when that damn urge hits? But he was out in 12 minutes.

Quoting ...CeCe...:" ???"

Just short times lol. Wish I had only taken 20 minutes. haha
