I hope yours is easy. I hear they get easier with every birth.
Yea, me too. I was only in labor for 4 hours plus 1 hour to push. I didn't think the pain was so bad at all, rather a dull ache, not acute. In fact, I felt *no* pain until they broke my water at 5 centimeters. The hardest and most painful part was getting the IV in (7 tries). Next time, I do NOT want them to break my water. I went completely natural (outside of them breaking my water); and just when I thought I couldn't do it anymore, it was time to push.
