My first labour was horrific and unbearable. Waters broke early then I had 10 hrs straight of contractions 3 mins apart and very very powerful before finally getting epidural and a few hrs late being forced to push just after an epidural top up so needless to say it ended in forceps.
Second labour was 3 hrs of bad contractions and although horrific, it progressed well and I handled it all fine. Dd came out in 2 pushes in the pool. Not too horrific really and very textbook.
This time I just want to arrive, get an epidural and just have as little pain as possible. Is that mad? I know having an epidural means no water birth and increased liklihood of intervention but has anyone ever had a well managed epidural labour with an easy 3rd stage? No intervention? I just want a calmer experience. The pain is something else, I vomit everywhere and I think I scream ghetto place down (but dh and midwife always say I was silent).
