I do remember that with my first son, I was in active labor (although not severe) for two weeks. Right after I first started having contractions, we had a cold snap. Apparently, he didn't appreciate that. For two weeks, you could time my contractions every 3 to 5 minutes. Three trips to the hospital later, they FINALLY said I was ready. We came into the hospital at 6:30 am and I had him at 8:54 pm. Other than the actual times, I can't tell you much about the delivery.
