Is childbirth really as painful as women make out

silent gav

ok. A while back my oh was getting a pretty big tattoo done on her thigh which she nearly cried the whole way through. at one point she said it was worse than giving birth and it got me thinking. I got a tattoo done in the same place and while it was really sore it was bearable. so i'm thinking is childbirth really as sore as women make out or do they just use it cause they know we can never say otherwise?

When Women Get a kick to the testicles, then they can start giving out about pain.

I remember having to see a video in Biology of a woman giving birth............


















...............so much blood The fact that the teacher wanted to avoid it and pressed Fast Forward (Baby shoots out in a river of blood) and then presses Rewind by accident (Baby gets sucked back in!) :eek:

It was at that point I vowed never to get pregnant!

Christmas Ted, what does that mean to you? It was living hell. Do you know what its like falling in the mud and getting kicked, in the head. With an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does, that never happens. Sorry Ted, that's a dumb question.

Thinking about the logistics, I'd say it's pretty ****ing painful

Can't be as painful as having to listen to it.

As me oulfella, used to say to my ma, "There's nothing to it - it's just like having a big sh*t".

I've had really big poo's though:) same logistic's much smaller hole

No. Absolutely catagorically no.

Men experience pains far worse than childbirth on a daily basis; getting a kick to the balls, man flu etc.

Getting teabagged while playing Halo 3 online is pretty traumatic too. :pac:

The_Kew_Tour

Not at all.

Hey try losing a game of FIFA on xbox to your mates now thats painful

I'd say it's different for each person

There was a woman in the next room to us and I could feel her screams in my chest, where my biatch didn't as much as say ouch and spit it out in no time (drug free)

Your brain/nervous system can only handle so much pain, i'd say it can be bad all right but not nearly as bad as most make it out.

Men could never do child birth. They've awful low pain thresholds. Moany arses,

Women's experiences with child birth vary. A 2 hour labour won't be as bad as a 22 hour labour. So I think the pain experience vary for each woman.

Also men folk, ye must agree that having that area torn, and occasionally surgically cut must be agonising. Male or female.

The idea of tearing makes me shudder.

Also I've seen fellas get kicked in the balls. None of whom pass out, many whom don't wail in pain. Seeing as men are crap at dealing with pain, I assume it can't be as bad as pain that cause women to pass out/scream blue murder.

Stepping, barefooted, on an upturned plug is the worst pain the human body can take without going into shock.
FACT!

Em... I don't think that's the main preventative issue in this case... :pac::pac:

Pfft, I did that once.

The plug broke.

I didn't even notice I had done it. . .

No, we just man up & get on with it. Only wussies cry when being kicked in the nuts or dropping a sprog.

No, like I said, men don't deal well with pain at all.

But, in order to prove your point. I think you should tear the hole off yourself.

I do that most mornings after I've had a good session, followed by a curry on the way home.

Quit complaining! Get a C-section! :pac:


Now if you'll excuse me, there's an angry mob of feminists chasing me...

Nuggles

This time do it with a room full of people staring at your genitals.

while you try to fit a turkey up your nostril.

Then follow with hours of crying, because your vayjayjay is now a huge canyon, that no man will want to touch ever again.

Wait. . .

I had to get my appendix removed after getting a football in the balls when I was a young lad.
So I feel, , if anything, more qualified than someone who has given birth to discuss this topic.
impact to the ball region is far worse than giving birth.

pffftt

I had a chinese last night and I had two portions of fried rice.
It was like giving birth to Bono this morning and I didn't whine about it.

Edit : Didn't even have an epidural...

Mrmoe

Giving birth is a natural biological process, being kicked in the balls is not.

Newsflash - that wasn't your appendix they removed, which might explain the nickname you had in school & also why you never understood why they always called you "Johnny One Ball".

As a young chap I asked something similar of my sister. The reply:

It's like shlttlng a baby out of your arse

There you go.

Nobody ever thinks of the child, it's supposed to be very painful for the child, birth is nearly on a par with death in terms of horrible experiences for us all in life. We do not remember how painful it was so it cannot be proven.

Overheal

The same women who wash dishes with gloves or do the gardening with dainty spades?

Yeah. G'wan, lecture us menfolk about pain.

Read an article that was linked from here before talking about how many women orgasm during birth.. Bit freaky I thought.

a girl i went out with years ago told me that i should try pushing a bowling ball out of my japs eye if i wanted to experience the 'pain' of childbirth

I want to go back to my dad's era when you were shunted over to the boozer to "kill time" before the landlord got the call to tell you that the deed was done and to buy a packet of mints before heading over...

It depends on the labour..... some are worse than others - all of them are very painful.

Without wanting to be too graphic, some of us have had a knock to the ovaries , dear. It's not good.
