Did anyone experience natural labour without epidural? What was it like?

I didn’t have anything at all for my 1st ( I was only 20 y/o back then). Water broke at 3-ish and gave birth at ~ 7 pm. No pain until the last 30 mins (which felt like forever)... my tolerance for pain is quite high but it was really painful; I cried silently until I was told it is time to push.
