UO Thursday

@juliad2010 We're a one car family, I walk everywhere, shop Goodwill, and have a strong preference for small, historic homes, and even I find you kind of insufferable. The way I try to live does not fit everyone's situation. Tone down the judgment.

A friend on FB who just had a baby had someone comment about how "childbirth is the most painful thing a woman experiences." My UO is I don't think it is the most painful and yes, I had a completely unmedicated natural childbirth. I understand each birth is different and each person has their own pain tolerance blah blah etc. blah. But this statement (which I've heard more than once) annoys the crap outta me. On a scale of 1-10 I rated birth an 8, right after so the whole "you forget the pain" doesn't apply. I just feel as though this is saying to people who haven't given birth that they are somehow inferior or weaker which isn't always the case. so in a nut shell; I don't think childbirth is as painful as it gets.

Maybe it depends on your childbirth. I don't know but it was certainly the most painful thing I've ever experienced! But I dilated the entire 10 cm in 2 hours, so I probably had a pretty intense pain.

In my experience it definitely depends on the labor and childbirth. DD1 was incredibly more painful than DD2, and I an epi with DD1. DD2 the worst part, by far, was trying to not give birth in the car. The contractions themselves were totally bearable and nothing like what I had experienced with DD1. (Who was sunny side up.)

SO sorry to P&R I had to go to work... but @LokiLahve saw what i was saying, that I hate the blanket statement of it. and my mentioning every women is different was saying I understand it can be true for some women but stating it's the worst is like telling those who are hurting from other things besides childbirth that thier pain doesn't count. FTR my 10 was when an extremely large ovarian cyst burst. LOL at PP poop. That shit sucked! I might rate that a 7.
