What's the record time for a woman being in labor?

My water broke 9 days before my baby was born.  I was in the hospital in labor for 37 hrs., after reaching 1 cm.  But that first 1 cm. took almost 8 days.  \n\nI pushed for about 7 hours continuously!  I was told that it was a record: 10:20 PM until 5:17 AM.  My baby girl was stuck big time!  And, they could not do a c-section on me because I'm severely allergic to latex.  The c-sect Dr. tried his best to deliver my baby by using suction & forcepts.  Nothing worked!  Eventually, he had to let my Dr. take over while he got the c-sect room ready latex-free.  I told him that I would push my baby out myself!  So, I did, just 3 min. before he showed up to get me.  I was ripped clear up into my rectum!  She was big!  That hurt!  \n\nMy poor Dr. had just gotten off the plane from his vacation in Hawaii when I had already been in labor several hours.  Next time, by delivery was planned!  No vacation for him when I'm having a baby!  LOL  \n\nMy second childbirth only took 1 1/2 hours total.  Only took a few pushes.  Go figure!

As early as any other birth.  My sister-in-law had her daughter c-section and got pregnant 6 months later.

Generally childbirth lasts for hours while a kick does not usually go on for hours and hours its just a one time thing.

It varies, usually 21 to 28 days.  Some women are very regular, some are not.

During the six week period, your body is trying to recover from a major transition. So then your vaginally bleeding during this time(come on, we're all grownups) because your body is throwing out all of the toxins that was kept in for nine months, since your body was so use to menstruating every 28 days. Not only that, when the baby is coming out of the birth canal, there could of been some tearing because the baby is like a size of a bowling ball, so it's best that you restrain yourself from trying to get an infection or from getting a hemorrhage!

Castor oil takes 4-6 hours to work.  When I was overdue with my son I took it at 6 pm and at exactly 12am my water broke and was on my way to the hospital.  That is some nasty stuff...gross.......

I went through different types of labor, several different scenarios, so here you go:\n\nContractions feel like someone is squezzing you really hard around your back and tummy. They really do hurt.\n\nWater breaking just feels like water gushing (or dribbling). Doesn't hurt a bit.\n\nGetting an epidural feels like getting your blood taken for a blood test, then you feel like cool water is running through your body. Minimum pain, and you are REALLY happy to get the epidural.\n\nOnce you have the epidural, you might still feel some pain if it wasn't doen right or if your spine is crooked. I felt pain at the top of my uterus. \n\nIf labor is induced and you get no epidural, labor feels like you are going to die and it's the end of the world. Really unmanageable, so do not let them induce you without having an anesthisiologist right there, or get the epidural first.\n\nIf you get drugs to dull the pain (not an epidural), it doesn't mean ou won't feel pain. You may not see clearly, and you will not remember much, but you will contniue screaming the whole time. (My husband almost passed out listening to me.)\n\nTransition feels like your perineum and everything down there is stretching, stretching. You may feel hemmeroids pop out at this point. (Even with an epidural, you still feel pressure.)\n\nIf you get an epidural, pushing the baby out doesn't feel like a darn thing. You can look down and see the baby coming out and be relaxed.\n\nIf you don't get an epidural, pushing the baby out STILL doesn't hurt as much as the earlier parts of labor. In fact, I loved it, because you are finally DOING something productive, finally pushing it out. Also, the pressure of the baby kinds numbs things a bit.\n\nDelivering the placents feel like a minor contraction. Not bad. \n\nBeing sewn up... if you have an epidural, you don't feel it. Otherwise, you get a shot of painkiller and it's not bad at all.\n\nFinally, holding your baby in your arms feels WONDERFUL if you had a good labor experience. \nIf you had a bad labor experience, you may feel very depressed. I had 2 good experiences and 1 bad experience. It took me 2 years to get over the bad one.\nRemember that no one is rating you based on your labor. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. All labors are equal and just as good. Be proud that you made it through!\n\nGood luck!

True labor contractions can be timed. The cycle of a contraction starts mild, gets more intense, gets mild and then you get a rest from the discomfort (until they are very close together).  Gas pains do not have an ability to be timed.  They will hit without rhyme or reason.

I don't know what the world record is but I know it's much longer than one minute. I think I've maxed out at 1:20 myself. My source says 12:47 for an Italian freediver but I don't know if that is the latest.

You can't decide it considering the birth of your first child. Don't fret, go to a doc and get it checked and all. Movement usually starts around 3 months, but it isnt necessary that you be the same as others.So, pls go to a gynaec.

Gal\nI think a guy could handle it IF they were able to be waited on hand and foot for the nine months, then have an epidural during the delivery. Oh, and then after the baby was born, they'd need another 9-12 months -at least- to "recover" and the woman would be required to take care of the baby -since he carried the baby for 9 months.  \n\nMost women can obviously handle it...... sometimes multiple times.....without any of the above "conveniences".  \n\nAnd I'm NOT bashing...... I'm just sayin'........

Call your ob/gyn ...  It is best to speak directly with him/her under these circumstances.  As 40 weeks is the natural duration of pregnancy, you can go into labor at any time.
