Once reached hospital and checked and was dilated for 2-3 cm, then nursed asked me to walk for 1hr and then when I went back I was still 3cm. Didn't want to come back home so got addmitted. By 12 doc decided to break my water to head start the labor. Then couldn't take pain of contraction. But I wanted to go natural. Uff after the real contraction hit, I was begging for epidural. Then by 4 I took epidural And slept through the contraction. At 8 doc decided to give picotin to fasten the labor. By 11 I was 10cm and by 11.47 baby was out. 

Without epidural I couldn't have gone 5 more minutes also.  Ladies epidural is a boon.
