I haven't voted as I can't remember the last 13 hous of it. Jessica was back to back so it was long and slow (I started dilating 6 days before she was born).
The contractions before we went into hospital were painful - I was convinced I wouldn't get through each one when it was happening, but as it ebbed away I forgot how painful that contraction had been and put off ringing the hospital because I'm scared of them!
As soon as Jessica was born I became much more with it and remember thinking I'd do it all again if needed as she was so beautiful (and I had the obstetrician whom I'd had an argument with sewing me up at the time!)
It will be painful but you will cope and it will all be worth it once your baby arrives. Everyone says it but it really is true and you can't even begin to imagine that feeling when you are pregnant.
