Epidoral helped with contractions but once I started pushing, I felt everything to the core

Epidoral helped with contractions but once I started pushing, I felt everything to the core. I pushed for 15 minutes because I refused to take breaks because the pain was so excruciating I wanted it to be over. It felt like a burning fire rip, once the head was fully out it felt like I was being sliced in two. But over all the experience was not as bad as people say it would be. I was in labor for five hours and started to push for fifteen minutes. Now I get to be with my baby and it was all worth it.
