To be clear, I was drugged to the eyeballs for most of the last part (though not as effectively as I was hoping by then) and, mercifully, was so far in my head and locked into getting it done that I didn't articulate "hey this is transition....hey, this is taking too long....oh shit." In retrospect, though, one of the first things I said in recovery was "wait, holy balls, what was that?"

Props to you for 32 hours. I got to 6-7 with just Pitocin pretty fast (if things had gone normally after that, I'd probably have been done with everything in under 12 hours) and even that was amazingly exhausting.
