Do I win longest the labor award?

[Mrsboyko]

So Demitrious Sorin R. was born Sat Feb 28th at 12:03 pm. Labor lasted 60 hours, 59 of which was at home. We ended up needing to transfer as he just was not coming out after 10+ hours of pushing. I DID get my VBAC though, it was just nothing how I imagined it would go. The full story is linked in my siggy, just click on "Demitri". He was 8 lbs, 11 oz and 21".


I feel like I can do anything now. The power I now know i hold is amazing. He is a breastfeeding champ and I am loving having him on the outside. We did have a bad first week dealing with jaundice that landed us back at the hospital for 3 days, but he is looking more and more baby colored every day.

Congratulations!!!

My first VBAC was a 15 hour pushing stage, but I got a nap for a few hours in there.

Look forward to reading the story.

I'm impressed!

You need to update the siggie however... I don't see a link.

[K&JsMaMa]

yep, you get the award. That was a long labor. Glad you are now holding that sweet baby in your arms.

Wow I was sure I had the longest -- but it was *only* 53.5 hours! LOL Congrats on your VBAC, I was unable to have mine and it ended in a repeat section, but I sure did try.

That is a long labor. Been there and done that....our first babe was 60 hours of labor. Yikes. (Our other babies were a little speedier, but never speedier than about 8 to 12 hours.) Way to go!!
