Mine was so much easier than I expected. It only lasted 5 hrs.

It was kind of what I expected. I thought I would make it farther without the epidural. Apparently my pain tolerance level isn't as high as it was when I was 15.

Better. I had myself scared crapless about it. I had an uncomplicated labor that only lasted 12 hours. I couldn't have had it easier I don't think lol.

I put worse just because I never thought that labor could go for how long it did. I'm one of those horror stories so I wont give any details

Mine was horrific...but I was induced and baby was not ready to come. 24 hours of hard labor + back labor + 97% head that was tilted funny...yeah, not good. But, I have a healthy happy almost one year old now!

Worse. I never imagined I'd have a c-section, but I did. Luckily I learned from my mistakes and I'm more prepared to make the next one go the way I want it to.

Missi....loving wife to Jason, mommy to Ricky (1-12-05), and soon to be mommy to Logan Douglas (due Feb 2010). I'm a cloth diapering, baby wearing, breastfeeding till baby wants to quit, homeschooling, non-circumcising, anti-cry it out, part time working, animal loving, trashy romance novel reading, farm raised hillbilly. I have had Meningitis and Swine Flu and lived to tell about it. Any questions?
