Both of my daughter were a week late, one had to be induced, was in heavy labor for only 3 -4 hours, once I had to start pushing, she was out in less than 10 minutes. I went in to labor with my other daughter in the middle of the night around 2am, was sure I was in labor, because with the one before it happen on its own. By the time I realized I had to poop ever 7 minutes I realized we went to Hosp after dropping my older daughter off, and got there around 5 am, I was to far gone for an eppi and she was born at 8 am, again with her pushing for less than 10 minutes

I had a hard, but extremely fast labor for my third child. I was only in labor for two hours, but I didn't get a epidural. I actually had to go to the hospital in a ambulance and I gave birth in the hallway of the emergency room on the ambulance stretcher.

I had c-section with my daughter. I was in surgery room for about an hour and it was done. I was listening to the sergens and nurses talking about their children, how expensive to renew the license for their jobs, etc etc while they were cutting me up. lol Pain came after though. I couldnt get up from the bed for about 3 days. If I laugh, it hurt when I laughed. I still dont know how I didnt complained about the pain. I guess it was for my daughter and I was too excited to meet my daughter.
