    You know, none of this would ever occur if babies do come from the stork.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Actually the placenta is connected until birth. It still needs to provide the baby with oxygen. You can load up on certain painkillers as they don't pass through the placenta in the same quantities as others. Alot of women do load up and go almost completely numb, but you still feel the pressure and the contractions before the doctors load you up.

    Ah, I see.

    Well, it's still better than pain all the way through, isn't it?

    If you're all numb it's much harder to push, and greatly increases the risk of needing a c-section [read: surgery], so it's better to go without. Epidurals are a common way to dull the pain, but even those increase the risk of needing a c-section.

    This is pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've read on these forums in a long, long time. Devil Man, you can be annoyed all you like at these articles you're reading, but may I remind you that it is YOU who choose the media to take in, and YOU have the ultimate decision not to view these articles.

    Saying a woman should "pop out a baby with a smile on their face" is one of the most ignorant and sexist things I've heard in my entire life. I think you have some serious respect issues, and you need to solve them pronto.

    And the after effects can sometimes be felt for hours after. A friend of min was so loopy after she had an epidural that she couldn't even lift her arms to hold her daughter for hours unil the drugs wore off...

    Childbirth is TORTURE.

    The pain simply cannot compare in any way...any man who says rthey could handle it, or dosen't think it's a big deal, is full of it. My friend nearly DIED giving birth.

    My sister gave birth to both my neices naturally (with out all the numby things) because the epideral (sp) needle scared the hell out of her.

    She has a high pain tollerance because I remember her saying when she had my first neice "All these ladies were totally screaming and they had the epideral! I bet it was less pain not having it!"


    I'd prolly have my baby naturally as well, no scarry needles for me.

    I remember my Mum telling me something similar to this. When she had me, she remembers all the other women around her in the ward screaming their lungs out. She, however, didn't scream and somehow managed to cope with the pain. Some of the other women were even grabbing the nurses, pleading with them to 'get the little £&*$'s out!'

    I guess it shows how people cope with things differently.
