Average Labour Time?

I read somewhere that an average time for a women's labour is 8 hours. How long did it take for you ?

Average labour time for first time mums is about 12-18 hours.

The most intense part of labour would be around the last 2 hours or so...

Consider 8 to 12 hours... All depending how soon your cervix is dilating

Mine is 8 hrs with epidural for first delivery. (From warded with mild contractions to delivery) 2nd delivery with water bag burst first around 6 hrs.

For me, 1st child ~ 15 hours, 2nd ~ 6 hours and 3rd ~ 3 hours. I guess my fourth should take around 1.5 hr or maybe even faster.... that's what my gynae told me.
