Exactly! Pushing was a piece of cake (thankfully it was only a few minutes for each birth), but I had no idea transition was so awful! I wanted to run away from my body! LOL

My third and fourth were natural babies. With number three I felt the urge to push and went with it. With number four my body completely took over and I couldnt have stopped it if I tried. It was incredibly intense and I too screamed like an animal. He was out in three very frightening contractions!
