My contractions started at 8am on the tuesday. I went to hospital on the wednesday at 4pm, gave birth that night just after 11pm.
The timings wavered mostly between 5&8 mins (slowing for a period of 2 hours on tuesday night to 10 to 15 mins).
Anyway, the point is, i was out for a meal the other night with friends one of them is pg with dc2 so we were discussing childbirth and dp said something about my labour lasting 38 hours.
This friend said that thats not how it works, my labour clearly wasn't established until i went to hospital and therefore i had a reasonably quick labour.
So my question is, was i really only in labour for 7 hours?
