Was it all as bad as you expected it to be?

Nope. And I didn't expect it to be bad.   I figured it wouldn't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. And it was certainly uncomfortable, yes. But not bad. When she was crowning I said "please tell me that I have less than three hours left" and everyone (quite reasonably) laughed at me. They're like "that's her head. You definitely have less than three hours left." But I could have dealt with three hours of crowning, and that was certainly the worst part.

Nope. I was terrified. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.

I was shaking throughout the process but looking back it was a breeze. I was in uncomfortable pain for like 40 minutes waiting for the anesthesiologist but once I got the epidural it was easy peasy. I couldn't imagine going without the epidural. I just wish I would have been able to calm my nerves and relax. But it will be that much easier next time! I started at 3 cm when my water broke at home. I lasted till like 5/6 cm when I asked for the epidural then by the time the epidural was placed I was at 8 cm. so it went by so quickly. They left me alone for like 2 hours while the nurse was on break and when she came back I was ready to push. The MD came, I pushed through 3 contractions and my baby was born.

It was not as bad as I thought. Recovery took longer though.

It was freaking awful. Delivery was easy, labor was BAD.
