Okay, I keep adding and subtracting songs. Now I’ve got:

Labor 1 - fast (early labor) with 1.5 hours of 23 songs.
Labor 2 - slow (hard labor) with 59 minutes and 14 songs.
Labor 3 - focus songs (transition/pushing) with 10.8 minutes and 3 songs. Two of those songs we’ll be using on Mojo’s birth video.

Yep, I’m thinking 10.8 minutes of transition and pushing would be lovely. So long as it’s enough time to squeeze Mojo’s lungs and get the fluid out, I’m happy! I only pushed with Mo for 5 minutes and she wasn’t too congested sounding.

I told my midwife I was only planning to use the tub for early labor, not for delivering. She laughed and said, “So the first 15 minutes?” I have more early labor than that but I’ll be happy with any labor that produces a healthy baby! I know in the big scheme of things this is just a tiny moment. (Remind me of that when I’m in the moment and thinking I cannot possibly survive another labor, okay?)
