I said other. I was 2 weeks overdue and had CPD so I had to (very sadly) deliver via emergency c-section after about 28 hours of induced (with pitocin) but unmedicated (no pain meds) labor. Had to have an epi to have the c-section. Anyone ever heard of a natural delivery after a c-section due to CPD? She's almost a year and I'm so grateful to have her, but I do feel sad about my birthing experience. Worse than I ever could have imagined. Hoping for better next time. Thanks.

I said other

because almost everything else didn't really happen to me. on all 3 births, no waters broke, no plug, no reg conx, no pain.
I just knew it was time when I had to moan thru the flexes. And couldn't talk.
