My sleepy little Clementine was born today after only 4 hours of labour. It was quick and dirty - had an epidural but labour went too fast for it to take effect so I only really had the effect of it when the doctor sutured me up. So it was practically a natural labour - my husband said I kept screaming about why the pain relief wasn't working xD

Ladies - if your labour is progressing quickly and you want the epidural- get it done early if you want to feel the effects of it.
