lola - my second birth experience couldn't have been more different than my first. With my twins, I was induced, given an epidural before labour even started, then after 27 hours in labour and an extremely high fever they gave me an emergency c-section. I was in the hospital for 5 days because one ds wouldn't nurse or even bottle feed (I eventually got him to nurse at 6 weeks and nursed both successfully until they were 2!).
With ds3, I had a midwife but birthed in a hospital. I laboured for about 5 hours at home, then about 5 hours in the hospital. No medication at all, even though he was posterior (which meant BAD back labour), and the midwife had to manually turn him as he came out. I had to have a pretty big episiotomy too. As soon as he was out, though, I felt great. I had a bath with him at the hospital, then was home 2 hours after birth!
