[quote=Anonymous]First labor was 36 hours, 2nd was 4. They were different in many ways, but the best I can compare was to running. The first was like running a marathon (should be noted that I am NOT a runner, but just borrowing the metaphor) and the second was like a dead sprint for a few hours. They were both extremely challenging, but I would say that it's more of a mental challenge than it is physical. You have to have your head in the game and be really committed to doing it without medication in order for it to work out like that. The other big factor was having my husband and doula there to support me all along the way. I honestly don't think I could have had unmedicated births without them. It made such a big difference.[/quote]
