When is labour time counted from?

My mate was online saying her waters had broke at about 10.30 then how her contractions were 5 mins apart then at 3am I had msg saying she'd had a girl yet she says she was in labout 35 mins

redcrx.......where are you?

sorry, sqad, was busy answering the other post

I don't think there's a starter with a gun and stopwatch, it's just up to you to decide when you're in labour or not. Some might count it from the breaking of the waters, others from when they start to count the pain as severe. Some probably stop counting after the thrid day.
