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

<blockquote><b>Quoting Katie ♥ Eli:</b>" 33 minutes but it felt like 3 hours."</blockquote>

That's funny!!! With my second, I pushed for 33 minutes (the 3 minutes count!!!!). With my first, I pushed for 2 hours.

Quoting Ravey Candyass:" <blockquote><b>Quoting KNZ.:</b>" I was just lurking this thread cos the answers were ... [snip!] ... did it in like 20 minutes. "</blockquote> Right? I wish it was only 20 minutes. That 3 hours felt like a lifetime"

Seriously. A part i remember hating is pushing for that long, so you're all swollen, and then having your legs strapped together  

i had an epi, and with an epi, i guess you're supposed to feel little bit of pressure while pushing, atleast so my dr. said. but, i didnt feel any pressure..at all. not even a tiny bit. i pushed for 52 minutes. i coudve had my baby out sooner if i felt something.

I pushed for 25 min. with my first

17 mins. The nurse told my family I would be pushing for 2 hours because it was my first baby. I was not going to push for that long so I had to prove heer wrong lol.

with my first maybe 5 minutes,she was out in three pushes i believe.my second about 7 or 8 minutes.and my third im not sure,they had me close my legs and told me not to push til the doctor got there lol ,i was to focused on the pain.

Oh hahaha I'm like "uh oh what's going on"

I had an epi too although they turned mine off once I got close so when I pushed I felt everything

hour and a half. only because he was face up and stuck. almost ended in a c section. thank goodness it didnt 

Exactly an hour with my first. And maybe 30 minutes with my second

I labored natural for 14 hours and only pushed for 15 minutes.

21 Minutes, probably could of done it faster if the doctor stopped making me take breaks lol.

Quoting ...CeCe...:" I had an epi too although they turned mine off once I got close so when I pushed I felt everything"

they never turned mine off.
always thought they were supposed to.

it wasnt on my mind at the time of delivering, so i couldnt remind them. i was only thinking about holding my baby.

maybe 5 minutes the first time, failed the second time and ended with an emergency c-section, 3rd time about 2 seconds .. lol, 4th time was another flop. It seems to go either way for me. The babies either practically slide right out or they get stuck.

I pushed for less than 10 min. Which I'm thankful for because my midwive warned me during my pregnancy that with first time moms it could take hrs. Which totally freaked me out about labor..But it happened really fast. She told me afterwards that I was lucky ;)
