I feel you, I was in labor for 48 hours.

Doing much a more holistic route and with her labor was only three hours and I gave birth to her within the half hour of of getting to the hospital. So it was so easy with her. With my son, it was more of, more strenuous because they had me strapped.

They had me strapped to the bed in the hospital and I'm like, this is not good.

Yeah I was also forced until labor I had to get induced but I was in labor for 48 hours and it took a hour to push and I was in a lot of pain and I ended up asking for epidural the day after I got induced

With my second baby, however, I was able to do AV back, which is a vaginal birth after C-section.

I had something called prodrama labor for a few weeks before I went into active labor. I was in active labor for 26 or so hours and then pushing for two straight hours before I had my second.

And I did all of that completely naturally. No pain interventions, no pain medication. Thankfully I didn't need to be induced, so I experienced all of it.

And I definitely would do it again. It was worth it. But yeah, I know both sides, C-section and vaginal birth.
