[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of it depends on what you define as "labor." Some women have contractions for days. I define mine from when they started my induction, but some people say it starts with "active labor" and you're more than 4cm. It took me 24 hours on pitocin to get to 4cm! And a lot of pain. My 2nd baby was 46 hours of induction. At no time did anyone tell me to "pull the plug" (other than my mom and MIL because they just wanted to see the baby sooner- not a good reason!). As long as you're doing well, progressing slowly, baby isn't in distress, they let you labor by yourself. My 3rd was 30 hours of pitocin. Some bodies just take longer I guess? [/quote] Dilation is not a measure of progression. I was in labor for 73 hours with my first. Only 4 of those were "active" after I took castor oil upon my midwife's reccomendation. But my water broke and contractions started 3 days prior. [/quote]
