Thanks smurfy!
I have confidence in my ability to deal with birth and contractions. I dont have confidence in my state of mind though waiting for this to be over! lol
actually Im not anywhere near as uncomfortable today as I was yesterday?! I took a long bath last night and had some false labor that kept me up most of the night (which I was happy about! yay!) but I woke up fine and feeling less pressure. So I feel good today.

Damn, I thought my oldest was big! LOL Your son has my daughter beat by nearly a pound!
I didn't have an epidural with her either but after a couple hours stuck at 9 cm going out of my mind with pain and being so out of control that I didn't understand English but started speaking in my mother tongue both my ex and the doc BEGGED ME to ask for pain relief. So I had THE BEST shot of demerol EVER... and lo and behold - dialated and ready to push... so high outta my mind I was like, "Huh, what do you mean I have to push this thing out of me now? What ever happened to all the bullshit videos they showed us in the worthless Lamaze classes where the baby *just slid* out?!?!"
LOL it's REALLY funny when I think back on that.
My second I required no medication at all so when I tell you that I felt that baby's head crowning and BEGGED for that episiotomy - I am not kidding here. It was quick, but GEEZE hurt me *this much*.
Third I made it to around 7 cm's (transition when labor REALLY starts to hurt) and when the doc told me that she had NO CLUE how long the pain would last I was like, "Screw this I am woman hear me roar shit. I've already delivered two without an epidural, this ain't the fukkin jungle - HOOK ME UP!" But the epidural failed... You don't want to know.
Fourth time round my doc was awesome... got to 9cm with very *handleable* pain and then as the doc explained to me somehow the baby turned (think square peg fitting through a round hole) and because my oldest was present for the birth the doc didn't want to traumatize the child by seeing her mother in so much pain she couldnt control herself (the only birth were I actually cursed my exhusband). So she hooked me up with an epi at 9cm (unheard of). As soon as I laid back the medication took effect I was relaxed enough where I was no longer fighting my body and I screamed, "BABY IS COMING NOW!"
I barely pushed and my Mari all but slid out. LOL
You'll be fine.
I advise expectant moms to not be rigid about what they expect from their deliveries. There is no shame in asking for pain medication - hell I would ask for it when with my first pang of false labor were I to become pregnant now! LOL. The baby will be fine and so will you.
I am so excited for you.... I feel like I am pregnant all over again (in a very good way). For a mother in my position, that brings much needed comfort and happiness and a sense of hope.
Thank you Ms CindyLou!!

It was MY FOURTH child. LOL
It is exceptionally rare when a first-time mother gives birth in this fashion. And I would personally beat every one of those bitches to a bloody pulp.... just give me their names!
On a side note - the doc fixed my nani up jess like I was all shiny and new!

I hope you appreciate the fine work he must have done. It is neither exciting nor exhilarating throwing sutures into a newly ripped assgash.

Oh no darlin... He revamped the whole kit and kaboodle a few years later. We aren't talking a few sutures in the ass and a few in the gash. We are talking cystoceal (sp?) repair. My entire nani is as tight as it was PRE-BABY!
I was the youngest woman in his practise who he had performed the procedure on. (I was 30). Combination of all the kids and wearing a weight-lifting belt during heavy lifting.
I didn't WANT the surgery, but aside from the fact that I nearly bled to death I was sooooooooooo happy that I had it done. And no, I did not have it for cosmetic purposes. My bladder collapsed and put such pressure on the top vaginal wall that it literally would hang out of me. VERY PAINFULL....
But hey, he fixed it and since then my nani's been sooooooper tight.
