Everyones tolerances for pain are different.  Headaches can be cured with a couple of pills and maybe a nap.  Toothache, you can numb with orajel often and get to the dentist asap.  Childbirth lasts for anywhere from 5 to 36 hrs of course more or less and you go through different stages and degrees of pain eventually feeling like you are having a melon pushed through an opening about the size of the hole in the middle of your dvd, or a cd.  however as soon as your baby cries and you see it for the first time all pain goes away and a sudden rush of happiness occurs and then you realize what true love is. so in reality love hurts the most :)

It all depends- if you have any type of childbirth education, and even a doula at your birth, then it can be as painless as possible.  Many women experience horrendous pain, because they do not trust there bodies to do what comes naturally.  There are many natural ways to cope with the pain including massage, using a birth ball, showering, walking, hypnobirthing, etc etc  Education is the key to having a birth as pain free and possible, and a birth that happens the way that you want it to.

Well they say that the birthing process is not only painful for the mother but for the baby as well. Could you imagine being in the womb but then suddenly all the fluid that keeps you warm drains and the muscles around you start contracting pushing your head down into a very small canal that is usually much smaller than a adult fist. The pressure on a baby that is in the birth canal but be very painful. And then when you come out you are confused disorientated and cold and wet. I imagine it terrifying to be born. Thats probably why we do not remember it ;D\n\nReally though it is good for them to cry to get the air to the brain and lungs.

you know what? that is my rant every single month. my boyfriend is so sick to death of hearing it!! lol.... why do women have to bear the pain of giving birth? why cant guys have to same pain? \n\ni would be the first to support this motion!!!!!!\npain to the men!!!\n\nlol... but still, guys take care of women(at least the one i found does) and they have to put up with "that time of the month" which is pretty miserable for them too...\n\nso i propose all single (especially playboys) or attached uncaring males should get that time of the month!!!!!

My mom went through that when she had her's. I think most women do, because that's what makes us different from men. Men can have boobs, but they can't give birth. I think your friend should talk to a support group, maybe if she realizes she is still herself and she's not alone she'll feel better, because she is still a beautiful woman, inside and out. It was just medically nessicary, I assume. I send my wishes to you both. Good luck

its good not 2 be a male because then if you get kicked in the balls you would keel over and cry like a baby and you might lose your ability to make babies!! \nbut being a woman... it sucks having periods and cramps and pregnancies suck because of the hormones and pain and morning sickness(no, i've never been pregnant! :] ) and the male doesn't have to go through that... on the plus side... guys get the blame if they act like a jerk in a relationship because women are always right!!! :P no offense guys

Try anal first sweetie, its less painful and if done correctly not painful at all and very enjoyable, not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper than kids.\n\nBirth pain is extremely painful, but its not like some pain, its a pain you know is going to stop once baby is out, and its about the only pain I know of where you have something wonderful at the end of it.

Yes.  The muscles which hold it in place get weaker after childbirth.

Well, it's not to the level of giving birth, but there are a variety of male "pains." There's male-patterned baldness, prostate enlargement in old age (along with prostate cancer), a higher risk of kidney stones (which I have heard as the male equivalent of giving birth in terms of pain). Males are also more prone to mental and genetic disorders...fun for all. None of these though, would really match giving birth, that's one of the many reasons to respect women.

Yes and No.. \nI know that I could have not handled another child. There is always a what-if...in the back of my mind. \nBut the experience was regretful.\n\nThe clinic sceduled all it's abortions twice a week.  There we were treated like cattle.  We were all put in a room together to sign our paper work and pop vicatin together.  Then 4 at a time we were called into seperate rooms, where we were put into stirrups.  The doctor popped from one room to the other.  The walls were paper thin, and I could hear the other girls, moaning in pain.  When he got to me, the pain killer had not kicked in, and when I yelped at the pain, I was lectured about how I had gotten to where I was (I was a married woman!).  The pain was excrutating, and my husband could hear my screams from the waiting room.\nI later found out that he had to be restrained by several staff members.  After the procedure, my self and the 3 other girls were escorted back into the "holding pen" until we were deemed fit to leave.  There we about 20 women in that room, and we could not offer support to each other.  I wanted to scream at them to get out.  But My pain killers had just kicked in, and I was so ashamed and embarassed at what I had done...that I said not a word, but I could read the fear in the eyes of the girls who had not been back there yet...\n\nWould I do it again.  No.  But is a choice I made, much as yourself.  And it is not a shameful one.  Have pride that you were smart enough to know that you weren't ready to be a mom @15. God bless.
