Very much so ...
 
The only thing that was disturbing was the duration of delivery. My wife
had a sister (she actually has 8) and when towards the end of her pregnancy
she felt a first cramp, she needed to press her knees together and be raced
to a hospital to prevent the baby from just dropping-out prematurely. She
had a window of about 20 minutes. No pushing, no yelling, no pain.
 
So when it was our "moment of glory" we expected something the
same, but what a miscalculation. Contractions started something like 9pm,
baby was born 6.35pm the next day. Very painful. I thought we were going to
be a one-child family because I didn't want my wife to suffer that way, so
was quite surprised when 1+ year later she started talking about a #2.
 
That was a Ceasarian, a year later followed by a #3 via the normal way and
4 years later #4, also normal childbirth. A lot of doctors say that
"once a ceasarian, always a ceasarian" but that obviously is not
true.
 
Now I can tell a somewhat funny story about contractions on an airplane.
