I was in labor for 10 hours before I got the first epidural with my first child (I went into labor at about 11pm, and didn't go into the hospital until about 7am, and then they have to give you an IV, and this, and that... so it was after 9am before I finally had some relief). At one point, I remember screaming "JUST PUT THE FUCKING THING IN!!!" at the intern, who couldn't seem to find my vein. Not very ladylike, but I can assure you, I could not have cared less. My husband was horrified, but he didn't dare say anything. There is no freaking way I was doing that again (drug-free labor, that is).

With my second, I had an induced delivery. That delivery was virtually effortless, except for the 30 minutes or so that the anaesthetic nurse went MIA and couldn't give me a top-off (that bitch).

Both were 9+ pounders.
