I got very lucky! As a ftm my labor was very short! I started having very mild contractions on April 8. Then they slowly got worse as the night went on. At 4am I had my bloody show so I knew it was time to head to the hospital. By the time I checked in it was 4:45am and I was 6cm dilated! I had an epidural shortly after but unfortunately, it only worked on my left side so I felt everything on my right. Then my right hip started to feel like it was on fire! The nurses checked me and noticed that my son was facing my right hip which was causing the pain. I had to get onto all fours and that actually helped move him. By the time I had to push my epidural had wore off completely and I felt it all! Luckily though, I only had to push 4 or 5 times and he was here at 10:40am! I couldn’t have asked for a better birthing experience!
