[quote=Anonymous]I find transition very painful, but quick. The active labor after 5 cm and leading up to transition is intense and all-consuming but not incredibly painful. First labor with pitocin. Second labor shorter and more painful without pitocin. Pushing for me both times has been involuntary and satisfying, not painful. I haven't had the ring of fire or at least I didn't notice it. Whatever natural "drugs" the body releases in response to an unmedicated birth are strong. I wouldn't say they remove the pain but they just take you into another universe. [/quote]
