It depends. I’ve heard many horror stories before I went into labour, got me damn scared... But when it came to my labour story, it was a little under 5 hours from the point my contractions started until baby is out...

Everyone is different. For me, mine took 23hours but pushing took me 20mins, 2nd 4hours, pushing around 15mins

2 hours in the delivery suite and 5-15mins of pushing , everyone is different

It varies from person to person. I was in labour for 8 hours

Different body different timing

Are you FTM? If yes, then it will take longer. My 1st was about 5hours, my 2nd was about 2hours
