I think she should more than smack you. You make a lot of weird threads, but this one takes the cake. A guy with absolutely no knowledge or experience in a topic like childbirth has the gull to make such a statement as <i> why do women make such a fuss?</i> The pain of contractions is unbearable (nevermind the actually <i>popping</i> out of the baby), but of course, we really have no choice but to do just that...22 hours for me before having to have a C-section.
