My labor (almost 2 weeks ago now) of my unassisted birth was NOT painful at all. A little intense at the end, but I would not describe any of the 20 hours as painful! :)

Isn't it amazing! I remember after one of my births (I was very noisy) saying it wasn't painful and Nathan did not believe me. It sounded like it was to everybody else.
