After reading original was labor harder then you though poll I wanted to get some more specific feed back. In the original thread I voted harder then expected. With DS I was induced and ended up with an Epidural at 7cm resulting in major heartrate issues almost a c section and 3 hours of pushing. So was your labor harder then expected, easier then expected, or as expected. Did you have any meds or was it an unmedicated birth?

I ended up getting an epidural really, really late at 10cm. LO wasn't quite in position, I had a cervical lip that was close to rupturing, and I couldn't stop pushing. The doc was happy to let me have an epidural. So, I went through pretty much everything but pushing without meds and it wasn't as bad as I expected. AFter pushing for 2.5 hours, I was glad that I got the epi.

WAY HARDER than expected. I've seen two people give birth (my mom and my sister) and watched some documentaries, read lots of birth stories -so I felt prepared and thought I had a good idea how much it'd hurt. But it was a bajillion times worse than I could have ever imagined. I was induced and had no pain meds
