42 1/2 hours (the 1/2 hour was very important!) 2 1/2 houra pushing.
Didn't sleep for around 2 days from time of day it started to time of day finishing - getting sorted and finally sleeping - and they wonder why I wasn't keen to get up and shower after haveing him!
Good to know though my 2nd was classed as 4 hours but i would say 1/2 hour at most (as thats really when it started to hurt bad!) 3rd elective ceasar so no labour
ETA: Josh was posteria and got stuck on my pelvic bone and came out with a huge bruise on his head. He was 9lb 5oz. They didn't use forcepts but there was talk of it.

Oliver was 23hrs from the very first contraction (very mild and about 15min apart), but about 17 hrs of active labour, 45 mins of pushing then a couple of hours for the placenta (was retained).
Lilia was about 10 hours until she was born (15min pushing) and the placenta came away naturally soon after.

My first contraction was at 2.30am, by 9.30am I was 9 1/2cm and on my way to the hospital. I had no idea I was in transition because contractions were 5mins apart lasting only about 45seconds.

My first regular contractions started 4days earlier but the painful labour only lasted 18hours for my first.
With my second I had contractions for 2weeks but they started getting sore at 4pm the day she was born but they didn't get really painful until 8pm and she was born at 9:02pm so I was prett happy about that one.

I was induced, had first lot of gel at 7am on the Saturday, another lot that afternoon and a third lot the next day around midday. So I was in the delivery suite for a day and a half before anything happened - I didn't get any contractions until about 3pm on the Sunday, and they were mild. Once my waters were broken at about 7pm things took off and DD1 was born at 9pm. My labour is recorded as being about 2.5 hours long.
With DD2 I was having contractions from the night before, but again nothing major - I slept through the night. At about 2pm the next day they suddenly got very intense and DD2 was born at 2.50pm. My active labour is recorded as being 50 minutes long, but if you count the contractions I had earlier in the day (I cleaned the house during them, so not that bad), it was longer.

From the first contractions it took 65 hours for him to be delivered it was long and gruelling and painful but he came out in the end! Had to have a forceps delivery in the end as his head got stuck, he weighed 9lb 12oz (2 weeks late!)
But it was all worth it in the end

That was 10 years ago I don't think they let you stay in labour for that long anymore!
