I stayed at home until 7cm then once I was at hospital went until around 8/9cm without anything other than gas and air (mainly because when I asked for an epidural they sighed and went 'Oh we'll have to move you to another ward! Are you SURE you can't go without?? You've got this far without!') I ended up having one anyway because baby went into distress and had to have forceps delivery.
Anyway, I really didn't enjoy going that far without pain relief. I know some people find it amazing.. but I just felt out of control and I can't look back to my labour and remember a lot of it because it's just this blur of pain. Once I'd had the epidural it felt amazing, I could lay back and take everything in and appreciate the moment. I am definitely getting one next time, and earlier on! xx
