What was your labor and delivery like?? How long?

I had my daughter two days early. Contractions started and I went to the hospital where I was two centimeters dilated. After about five hours, I was still feeling pretty good but the contractions were getting very intense and I figured I was only 6 cm so I asked for an epidural. She checked me and I was fully dilated and ready to push! So I never got the epidural but I had her after pushing for 15 minutes with a labor of eight hours in total. I was so happy I did it drug free in the end! :)
