[quote=Anonymous]With my first I got the epi at 5 cm. I didn't find the contractions to be too bad up to that point until the last couple right before the epi. With my second, my contractions were as painful as the 5 cm contractions mentioned above almost from the start, but, they were only 15-30 mins apart so they were manageable. Did that for 12 hours and finally decided to go to the hospital just to see where I was at (hadn't had my cervix checked). Good thing b/c just after walking through the doors of the hospital, I hit transition. It felt like it came out of no where. It was the most intense pain/pressure I've ever felt. I felt very close to passing out. Fortunately, I screamed and hospital staff came running. Baby was born about 3 minutes later. I agree with what others have said- it depends on how long your transition and pushing go. I could do it for those few short minutes, but would never want to do it for longer. [/quote]
