Oops. I just realized that my last post might have been facetious about length of labor, when I thought I was speaking as a mother from the "olden days". Since my labors were 4 hours up to 15 hours, I just may have been speaking more from my memories of being an L&D nurse during the baby boom in the '50's, when 12 hours was certainly not considered prolonged labor. Its vastly different speaking of someone else's labor, and then to speak so lightly. I apologize if I offended anyone.
