RE: [ozmidwifery] Rest phase before 2nd stage

I think this was a recent discussion?  I have seen if often enough to recognize it as a normal part of labour.  some women need 10 mins, some 2 hrs and even longer.  It is all about being aware and alert to the woman and baby’s condition.  MM

I know this was recently discussed on the list - but I was wondering how long you lovely midwives have seen this occur for within a natural labour?

I remember mine lasting about 10mins (enough time to get out of the car - not a great place to do transition! - and into BC)

What is considered too long? 2 hours?  What are the 'typical time limits' - when would risk factors be considered?

Thanks,

Kristin
