I feel very fortunate as I feel I had a very easy labour. only 5hrs, I felt pushing at 6cm, but prefer that feeling over contractions (which for me weren't psin, judt really intense pressure, like a baloon blowing up inside me until it bursts and goes down. )
actually has me worried the other way, in that I remember it being so easy, ill assume next time will be and not prepare as much (when it probably was my prep that made it easy)
