Ring of fire

Delivering my first son I absolutely Felt nothing While Pushing. I was numb waist down With the epidural , The contractions felt like bad period cramps and I breath through those pains , also did not need stitches , baby weighed 8.3 lbs 21 inches. I'm currently pregnant with Baby #2 , Pretty sure I'll be feeling what Others feel , my question is how bad does it Hurt HONESTLY? pushing out the head seems like the most horrific part other then the shoulders and body. My Sisters Said They felt everything and it Burns . I'm Scareddddd...
