Ok, so I'm a little late:-)

How long were your labors?
1. Five hours.
2. Seven hours (counting a two hour break in the middle caused by pain meds).
3. Six hours.
4. Either two weeks, nine hours or three hours, depending on how you measure it. Braxton Hicks for two weeks; early early labor starting around 6ish; pitocin induction starting the real thing at 12 ending at 3.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
