[quote=Anonymous]7-hour first-time labor, totally unmedicated. I hate pain and am normally an advil popper, but my pain was manageable with warm baths and movement. The trick is to get your labor progressing on your own at home. Once it is going like a freight train you head to the hospital (maybe a bit sooner if you live far from the hospital). Have a reliable doula or someone who is quick thinking on hand to whisk you there. Keep an open mind that something could happen to change your plan. You may end up needing a medical induction or something. If you have to be in the hospital at the start of labor, the best you can do is try to relax. Don't suffer through excruciating pain. If you are in agony then you need the meds! Good luck!![/quote]
