low pain tollerance and natural birth

[Matryoshka]

I think some people just don't cope with pain. New Active Birth was my bible with DS1, i practiced the positions, i had a plan, i surrounded my self with women who'd had natural births. I also spent the entire labour having showers, being on all fours, birthing ball, (17 hours of alternating), listening to hypnobirthing cd, music, being massaged. And ended up 2 hours pushing sitting on a birthing stool (supposedly great position as gravity works in your favour). Well it still hurt like hell! and is not something i enjoyed or ever want to experience again.

edit,

and i thought that my second labour would be more tolerable as i'd been through it before. I repeated all the same things, and it was equally painful. I guess i just don't do pain.
