Moms who've had their babies-- ? for you

So DD is over 2 weeks old now.  I had a really hard labor experience-- water broke first followed by 26 hours of labor. But here's my question--  pushing hurt like hell.  Well, not the pushing itself, but being fully dilated.  (And the progress from 9-10 cm)I really thought with an epidural it would be okay, but I was in so much pain I was almost going insane.  I know I am going to have a lot of anxiety surrounding my next labor experience.  I feel like no one else felt such extreme pain when fully dilated.  To clarify, it was different from contraction pain.  It was pressure (but not in my butt like they said-- still in my vagina.)  Did anyone else feel this extreme, extreme pressure/pain?

  • I thought that my epidural had completely worn off because I could feel everything at the end and they kept asking whether I felt the pressure in my butt, but I didn't. It was all in the vagina and the back to back contractions, so I know what you mean. I
  • So I don't have any experience with the pain.  My first time around the epidural was so strong I couldn't feel anything from the waist down.  This time it was just enough so that I could feel the contractions and movement, but I didn't really
