[quote=Anonymous]I had a very quick (3.5 hours and it was my first child) very intense labor and it felt like I was being cut in half with a chain saw during transition. I was vomiting and I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. I had no break between contractions, they just stacked on top of one another. I actually LOVED pushing and didn't feel any "ring of fire" despite not having an epidural. FINALLY, the pain was productive and I could bear down into it. I pushed the baby out in 5 pushes and she was 8+ pounds. The contractions were just so powerful--it was as if she was a rocket being propelled out of my body. All labors are not the same! Many women push for 2-4 hours with baby #1. I pushed for 5 minutes and couldn't have held hera minute longer in if you tied my legs together. The contractions were that strong. I'm also a marathon runner, had all 4 wisdom teeth broken apart and cut out with only novocaine so I don't think I'm a wimp. [/quote]
