3 1/2 hours of labor!

Ive heard that first time mothers should expect many hours of being in labor. I was so scared that I would have to experience that. Well I guess I was one of the lucky ones. First of all I never had any kind of morning sickness. I didnt throw up once. I figured with my luck I was gonna be in labor for 50 hours.. 5:30pm Well Me and my hubby were lying on the couch relaxing and my water broke.
6:30 got to the hospital, I was 4 cm dilated... Felt some contractions and figured I might as well get the epidural before any more time passes by. Not very much time passed and got it. I was in NO pain and was told I was at 8 cm. By the time I knew it was 8:58pm January 2 and become a Mother. This experience happened so fast, I hope my next goes as easy....
