Cailin is so right. No matter how you get through the labour, drugs no drugs naturally or via c-sect it is all worth it. I actually recovered better having no epidural then what I did having an epidural !! I couldn't walk for a good 24hrs after having Kameron and nearly passed out in the shower. After Lachlan I felt really good (just buggered) and was walking around fine.

Also for all you 1st time girls your hospital stay is usually longer cause you have so much to learn. Breast feeding (if you plan to do that), Bathing etc etc. The 2nd time around you know it already and might just need a quick refresher. Everyone is right when they say your 2nd child is easier

I hope I didn't scare anyone too much, you did ask for all the details LOL
