12 hours.... Tell her a random person on the internet's wife was in labour for 71 hours and almost missed the epidural window somehow.

Also congrats! it's a hell of a ride, take lots of pictures and good luck.

Her labor turned you into Werner Herzog?

Hello. I am your personal Herzog. I have many functions but a favorite, is the way I talk.

Jesus 12? I wish your wife good luck and a speedy recovery. I’m 3 months not gonna lie I’m kinda scared.

My first took over 50 hours to make an appearance and even then she had to have an emergency caesarean. Good luck.

God speed friend. Mine was nearly 30 hours and ended in c-section.

ThisIsNoCave
how far dilated is she? Is she on pitocin?
bustercuster
All natural, no meds. And around a 4

6 is where my wife caved on the first one. She succeeded accidentally on #3 due to a lunch break and a 20 min delay in anesthesiologist
firesnake
Best of luck and Congrats!
MachoNacho2415
Positive mental attitude will work wonders when she starts pushing! Also, don't scream, wastes precious energy. Good luck!! She will (1)
MachoNacho2415
(2) honestly start to forget about the pain once you get to hold your baby. It's worth every second when you see them for the first time <3
KillerTofu615
Have fun. My wife was at 4 at 12 hours... and at 5 at 28 hours on Pitocin.
avalani
What a woman. After 12 hours, I went for epidural. After 14 more hours of no progression, I requested a c-section. 26 hours of labor.
delilahviolet
I went 32 hours with daughter. Here’s hoping hers will go more quickly
lmfgift
Good for her! At 12 hours i caved , got the epidural. Baby finally came 6 hours later after 2 hours of pushing. Epidural is wonderful!
Ikindawantsoup
18 hour I got to a 5 and was awarded with a c-section and a baby with a massive head.
JonRichardsonsDustMop
Go rub her back. Once she gets over 8cm the rest will come. I did it twice and working on my third time. Good luck, dad.
Meeces
Wife just delivered or first after 23 hours of labor. She wanted all natural but eventually caved. Good luck!
sempiesalty
My wife did the first one 100% natural. Kid 2 & 3 were all drugs like a Motley Crue party.
mirrelle
I think I'll be the opposite with my next baby tbh unless I have a long labor. The drugs left me feeling lightheaded and yuck.
sempiesalty
Kid 2 was like that but 3 she was fine.
megsovereasy
She’s gotta ways to go, but she’ll forget the pain as soon as she holds that babe! Best of luck for safe delivery and healthy mom and baby
HelpfulCorn
Um no you don't. I had a failed epidural and remember it well.
Hulagirl01
Your brain can’t remember actual pain. I didn’t have meds and I know it hurt but it was sooo worth it.
kimmie71490
I had two babies and I forgot the pain with both...
megsovereasy
Yeah I was kind of quoting my mom. This is what she told me after she had me and my brother. I pass it along in the hopes it helps others
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
Lol, me too. Nurse let the epidural run out when it was time to push, pushed 2 hours w/out. Whole pregnancy, never threw up until an hour 1/
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
2/before son came out, from the pain. As soon as I was holding him, hubs asked if I wanted another. I just glared at him. But we did have 2.
ThisIsNoCave
oh man, no epidural?? She's a brave, brave soul. I wish you guys a lot of luck!

I’ve had 4 kids and 0 epidurals. My biggest baby was 10 lbs 6 ozs & he was my easiest labor. My last was my smallest at 6 lbs 19 ozs and she

That’s impressive. Insane! But impressive ;-)

Was 3 weeks early. I also don’t naturally labor long. 8 hours was my longest. Shortest (youngest) was 3.5 hours.
fox3hound
Wow, what techniques do you use? I got an epidural but want the next to be natural.
IAmThisGuy4
I have only had 3... but my smallest was 9 lbs 2 oz and my largest was 12 lbs 14 oz. I do labour for a long time though. 54 hours was my

1) You put the ball in between your knees and it naturally aligns and move your hips to a position that allows things to progress or “drop”,
SorryForAnnoyingYouWithMyFrirndship
Only a 4 after 12 hrs , that's crazy. That is one amazing woman! I was a 6 or 7 when I got to the hospital and felt like I was dying.
OregonFlyer
Best of luck, friend. I went a full 26 hours with my first.
BassNAss
12 hours was my wife's tapping out point for pain. The baby was turned so she had awful back pain. Took another 12 for the baby to show up.
MakeTabbouleNotWar
I had back labor with my second. Feels like your spine is being severed!
ohscrewit
Had 1st child in 3 hours. Start to finish. No meds. Much pain
turkturkleton651
My wife did the exact same with our first. The 2nd one only took 7h total, so she got one almost right away.
thegrimtrigger
Nothing to be ashamed of. Managing pain during labor is seen as some weakness. It's not.
nonamejanie
Been there don’t that. Stuck at 4 13 hours I quit.
solarsparkles
I did too.
BorisTheBladeWasTaken
My wife made it 21 hrs with no meds before taking pitocin. After that contractions grew too painful and ordered an epidural.
BorisTheBladeWasTaken
5 min of finally being able to relax, babies heart rate dropped. Holy damn lots of doctors and nurses came in to try and get the heart rate
BorisTheBladeWasTaken
Safest option was the c-section at that point because she was still only 4cm. Scariest suit every but so proud of her for sticking through
BorisTheBladeWasTaken
It all. Baby just hit 1 week today. First time dad, can't wait to watch him grow!
dynomitegal
You could suggest she may on her side, good birthing position
dynomitegal
Lay on her side
dynomitegal
Or is it lie on her side? Bro I dunno honestly
huxleyy
Too late for that epidural, push on now
missbirdie
Depends, got mine at hour 22.
IAMBATWANG
I got my epidural at 9 cm dilated. I waited until I could no longer handle the pain or think straight. Best decision ever.
JonRichardsonsDustMop
It has to do with how dilated the woman is, not how long she's labored.
JupitersWitch
Not at all. I had one at 7 centimeters because I couldn’t relax through the back labor. Baby came out 15 minutes after the epidural.
DrMardini
ive put epidurals in 10cm fully dilated ladies who weren't at positive station to good effect.I use a faster acting local like chlorprocaine
DrMardini
and may have to do it in lateral position since its too painful to sit up, or i can do a small spinal through a CSE needle.
DrMardini
the key is to not be a shitty anesthesiologist, and give comfort when you can give it.
WhatDeanerWasTalkingAbout
it's really not too late for that. 12 hours isn't really all that long a time in labor years.
HalfPintBabies
Especially since first time births are known to be the longest births. It’s the first time the body has dealt with that experience.
huxleyy
Depends on how many centimeters you are rocking
zFUBARz
Wife was in labour almost 3 days.
WhatDeanerWasTalkingAbout
surprisingly, there are a number of factors to consider.
DeFiAnCeOFeXiStEnCe
I had an epidural at 9 cm dilated....there is always time lol
NattyNatterss
Not always! By the time I asked for an epidural with my first and third baby they said no... I was too far along.
AnimalStyleHoldTheOnions
Even if they say yes it's not always guaranteed. Gotta factor in labs, fluids, etc. My second decided she wasnt gonna wait for that.
DeFiAnCeOFeXiStEnCe
Maybe all the anesthesiologists were already busy when you asked..that’s what happened with my second..he came in ten mins after she was out
