My labor was fairly long but I didn't mind it after I got the epi. I was in pre labor at home for about 24 hours but ctx were bearable and not very close. The worst part before hospital was probably 12 hours but that included going to get checked at ob office, driving there, checking in. I got epi 2 hours later then I was told to relax. Granted I could still feel pain, it was much more bearable with the epi! I was pushing about 6 hours later and that's when labor started sucking again. Pushing for almost five hours (for nothing!) was so physically and mentally exhausting.
