3 hours of active labor and 8 minutes pushing . Very fast and intense, after a week of trying and trying to get labor started. :/

Weeks of pre-labor, often meeting the 1-5-1 rule.  One day (9am on) of more intense, but highly irregular and widely spaced, never anywhere close to meeting the 1-5-1 rule.  About 50 minutes of active labor, water broke at 7:56 and I was immediately pushing, crowning at 8:03, birth at 8:05.
