started having contractions at 7:30pm got to the hospital at 8:30pm contractions got stronger and stronger. went from 4cm to 7cm in an hour and then got my epidural everything was perfect and I felt nothing but as everything went on I felt everything so we then had to have my epidural redone and I was in so much pain. I felt the urge to push for about an hour and contractions were very very very strong and then it finally came time to push and he was here 17 minutes later, so I had a very fast and easy labor.
