    Because women, like all Humans, cry when they're in a lot of pain. Men cry if you put their nuts in a vice and tighten it but good. There's no shame in it.

    Yes, it's a massive, incredible, unbelievable gift and I am infinitely envious of the capacity of women to bear children, but that doesn't make it less painful.

    Me, I think nature laughs like a mad bastard with several thousand tons of dynamite every time a woman gives birth. I have NO idea how something so vital to our survival could be so damn painful.

    ('Course it could just be that women are weak, too, but they're allowed to bitch when you say stuff like that these days, so best to keep mum. )

    To the topic...I'm sorry, but I can't even fathom what a woman has to go through to give birth. My unending respect goes out to mothers around the world.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    Also, isn't the way they deliver babies in the hospital not one of the most comfortable positions to be in when giving birth. I remember hearing that woman are situated the way they are for the doctor has a good vantage during the birth, but that it is not the most comfortable or easiest position. It could be wrong, after all it is heresay, but still it is interesting to think about it.

    3 c-sections for my mom, and when she had me she was in labor for over a day. And even though this doesn't have anything to do with the pains of childbirth DIRECTLY, when they were cutting into her the first time, the numbing stuff wasn't working so she could totally feel it.

    Yeah I don't really get why you would make this topic. Do you LIKE being yelled at or something? Really asking for it here, and I think you know it. ;)

    Besides the labor pains, other than stretching her priviacy areas to accomodate my entire body, the doctor had to cut with scissors my mother's vagina into the perenium. No anesthetic. That alone makes me grateful that she even bothered to birth me.

    She can be happy about the baby itself. The problem is the time she is pregnant and the birth of the baby itself. There are probably VERY few women in the world who were or are pregnant that would tell themselves "Well, I'm gonna have a baby, so I guess it's worth it."

    Child Birth is not as simple as a Hen laying an egg.

    20 hours of hard labor with pain killers that mearly dulled it slightly and oxegen so I wouldn't pass out. After awhile the pain just kinda merged together into one big experience.

    We'll since I've never had a kidney stone I can't compare the two. I have heard that as well from doctors though. Has anyone passed a kidney stone who would like to share?

    My Dad passed a kidney stone. He was in rather extraordinary pain. I was around 11 oe 12 at the time. I think he thought he was gonna die cause at one point he brought my brother and me into his hospital room and told us he loved us and stuff. <_<

    My aunt-in-law or whatever has passed two. She said childbirth was still worse because it's more all-encompassing, while kidney stones are more concentrated in the affected areas.

    Considering what happens, I understand that it's painful, but what doesn't make sense to me is why women don't just load up on painkillers.

    Considering the baby is being born, I don't think the placenta and all that is still connected to the woman's circulatory system, so the drugs wouldn't filter into it's body, right? I'm no biologist, so I really don't know.
