I "enjoyed" the first 28 hours of labour (12 active). Even though it was painful, I felt positive and capable and so proud to be doing it without drugs (except gas in last 2 hours which didn't really do much). I really hated the last half hour before J was born when I ended up in theatre for a C-section. Also, I hated all the post c-sect/birth complications I ended up with.

Although I'm scared about doing it all again and would love a VBAC experience, I'll definitely be back for more and never went through that "never again" stage.
