Yeah I had it on both my births ,exactly the other 3 births I'v witnessed as well,but not as a doula. The last time I doulad it is a 32 hr labor with 3 extra postpartum hrs in hospital,so it was a good thing that I had that rush  When It was all said & done I had someone pick me up & while waiting in the lobby I fell asleep  Hey what can I say it was a long couple of days.
By the way I have a confession to make on that birth.I am a health nut,but during that labor I made 3 trips to the cafetry & I had a sandwich once,but the big thing was I had 2 8oz ice creams COVERED in sprinkles.& I had two m&m candy packets from the machines ,a soda ,a donut & a popsicle Let's just say I REALLY blew my healthy diet out of the water.& my client never stops making fun of me (we keep in touch)
Anyhow I got of track a BIG CONGRATS! &  s Get some rest

Feeling totally exhausted afterwards (even for a few days afterwards sometimes) is totally normal, too. Welcome to Doula-hood! 
It sounds like it was a great one! You will never, ever forget it!
