Walking barefoot on an upturned plug vs Giving birth

Rabidlamb

Last night I stood on my phone charger while stumbling across my bedroom in the dark.
There was the tiny delay where the brain realises what I had just done & we waited for the train of pain to arrive . . . and christ did it arrive, I was creased over in agony, minutes passed before I could return to my feet, wobbling like a wounded animal.

This got me thinking, I've been present at 3 births, not counting my own & I've witnessed the levels in pain involved closely.
I figure I endured at least 25% more pain in my upturned plug accident than what women endure during the final pushes of childbirth.
I also didn't have the comforts of gas or an epidural to get me through the pain.

I'd like to know your opinion on this.

As a woman who has stood on a plug/stood on lego and is currently hopping along as she sliced the skin off her ankle in a fall and still can't (days later) put pressure on said ankle,

and has given birth using only gas and air...


THE most painful was...

the ankle

This thread needs a poll,


I'll go with plug (unless you're given the drugs and know it's about to happen before you stand on it)

I took an upturned plug to the knee.

Temperature also counts, stepping on them with cold feet hurts alot more imo than when you step on them with warm/hot feet.

The only thing that mattered to me in my entire life is your opinion of me. . .
I only ever wanted to make you proud but I have failed . . .

You cannot begin to understand how much this affects me.

If you were sitting there comfortably and suddenly in the throws of the final stage of labour, then you would probably pan out with the pain.

The fact that labour is a gradual thing and your tolerence levels increase during labour, means that the upturned plug is probably more intense and painful because of its sudden infliction.

Of course the drugs during labour help too:o

That and every labour is as different as the many items that cause you pain,


truth is there are too many varients to determine which is worse....

mine was short-ish, pain wise it lasted about 3-4 hours, ive heard of women in that kind of pain for days, or women who don't know they are pregnant suddenly going into labour....

ditto standing on a lego/nail/thumb tack is going to hurt more than a plug, and it comes down to temperature/conditions/mood at time of injury...

i mean you could take a pain killer right before you stand on it....


too many variants

Ah christ, now I have to go off & Google Emo before I think of a witty reply.
I've been staring at my sandwiches all morning & it's nearly 1pm, this will have to wait.

Were you supposed to be present, or where you hiding in the biological waste bin for a sneak peek ?

At first I thought to myself-

"how bloody often does one step on an upturned plug?", then I realised-

"about as often as one gives birth!"

So I really couldn't comment on which is more painful.


I suppose taking a football in the nuts is less painful than passing one out my back passage! :pac:
