[quote=Anonymous]For me (who had considered natural childbirth going in) the pain was so intense at 1.5 cm dilated that I was literally frozen in pain, unable to move, let alone work through anything naturally by rocking, walking, breathing, etc. And I mean actual PAIN, like the worst muscle cramp ever all over my abdomen. The epidural was an actual godsend. I envy so much the women who compare it to a hard workout or a mental test. I got to 10 cm, pushed for 3 hours and then had a C-section because the baby was in such a position that he couldn't even make it under the lip of my cervix. ZERO progress. The most frustrating and disappointing feeling. The upside is I have a gorgeous healthy baby. I don't think Ill ever try for a VBAC for fear of it just not working again...the failure after so much work might be too much to bear. Good luck to you, and I hope this labor is a good one![/quote]
