Congratulations! Emmet sounds pretty driven

A couple of questions for you - did you tear after all? Did you still feel in control of your labor and yourself? How long were your previous labors?
I ask because my last labor was about 3.5 hours from 1st contractions to birth (contrax started about 1.5 hours after my water broke) and I felt like I was hit by a steamroller, it was so intense. I'd be interested in your experiences, if you're up to sharing

Congrats again!
