I was in labor for 4 days. Early labor continues for hours and days. It was hard. But I'm a first time mother and I ended up having to get induced with Pitocin and not having an epidural. The only "pain" meds I had was stadol that helped me sleep through contractions. And the last dose was at 5cm which I was at for hours! I'm so thankful of my support team!!
