To be honest, I've heard so many different stories 'the contractions are the worst part, the pushing is the worst part, the recoup is the worst part, having a caesarean is the worst part, drugs make it worse, drugs make it better, the whole thing is a breeze' etc etc that it's clearly a very different experience for everyone, so I'll just take it as it comes. The one thing everyone in the UK seems to agree on, is make sure you have someone there to feed you, as after the delivery you may not get fed for hours and you'll be ravenous!
