During the labour part, i was quite silent and motionless, definatly in another world, but that was probably the gas helping with that! During the pushing stage, yes i screamed the place down but that may be because i was trying to push out a 9lb 7oz baby without an epidural! I was told by the doctor who delivered her that he was amazed i did it without the epidural too! But the very second she came out, every single pain went away like it was never there. It was a huge releif.
