@emkasting, not at all. I was induced, so the process was very long and stressful. My contractions felt like really bad period cramps. They just happened on and off too often, so I got the epidural. Which was AMAZING!!!!!!! It numbed me so well to the point I couldn't move my legs myself. But during labor it helped because I didn't feel a thing. I pushed my baby out in 4 pushes.
