Sorry, but I am going to be one of those people that is going to get b@#$% slapped

Honestly?? I enjoyed my labours. I get pangs when I drive past the hospital when I think that someone is in there having a baby... my friends laugh at me when I say things like that, but it is true, I was lucky enough to have an extremely positive experience.
Jillian you are a lucky girl to feel that way about labour, strange you want to be back in there doing it with others but I agree with you it is an amazing expereince, I get all misty over the first few days but NOT really over the labour part, even though mine was also pretty good!

Did you have your partner with you during labour? My dp wants to be with me throughout, but a part of me wonders whether he would really like to see me in labour, considering he can't stand blood and anything vaguely icky!
I did, even though DP wasn't much help to be honest, but the thought of him there definately did. It was important for him very much so, I think seeing his son come out was a mind blowing experiene for him, as even while I was pregnant I think reality hadn't hit properly that we were actually having a baby! The fact he was there and saw his head come out(he turned green and nearly passed out but that's okay!) was REALLY important, because he tells Felix all the time about it!

My labour expereince was positive, it wasn't what I wanted or planned but I actually ended up having a good time.

I was 13 days overdue, and induced with gels, waters broken and hormone drip, and due to being stuck on the bed and having to moan forward with contractions, I went for the epidural, after that, I watched a movie with DP( the green mile) and after 4 hours his head appeared at the bottom I was told to push and within 3 pushes Felix was born, no tearing and he was a healthy bubba..
I was intially against an epidural but things didn't go as I expected, all the natural birthing aids were useless because I actually never went into labour naturally! I had all thes wires and drips and though..oh well one more wont hurt!
After Felix was born, I had such an amazing time, I said I'd have 5 kids with an epidurals during labour, DP said, not with me your not!

Seriously though, all I can say is keep an open mind and just think of why you are there, you want a healthy baby and healthy you..end of the day that is the only reason you are there! The rest you'll forget about in a hurry!
