Longest child brith?

Question

what the longest labor

Answer 1

27 hours with my first!

Answer 2

Don't know for certain. My grandmother was in labor for 3 days.  There was a black woman who gave birth to triplets, at home,  over the course of 11 days back in the 60s. All the babies are now adults.  I don't have the link any more or I would include it.

Answer 3

I'm blessed to have very short labors, but I knew someone that went 32 hours...Wow!

Answer 4

Yikes! My mom was  lucky with me... one hour!! From the time she entered the hospital to me! My siblings were way worse though.. my little brother broke her tailbone... ouch!

Answer 5

My water broke early at 34 weeks.  I was hospitalized on a Monday for 8 days.  It "sealed" itself back up, I went home for 6 days, and was back in the hospital on a Saturday night because of contractions.  (36 weeks).  I gave birth on Tuesday afternoon.

So...2 weeks and 1 day.

Hah!  Beat you ALL!    :)

Answer 6

3 days...no joke.  I was induced with pitocin which brings hard contractions immediately about 2 mintues apart.  It took from Monday 9am to Wednesday 3:30am before my water broke and then the contractons were 1 minute apart.  Had epidural finally (was not in a delivery room at first so couldn't get one) on Wednesday at 4pm, pushed from 10pm until Thursday 1am and finally had a c-section.  

No labor next time...elective c-section all the way!!

Answer 7

4 days
