Is having a baby really that painful?

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: I'm sorry. I meant [b]after[/b] the baby is born. Do not sit up to eat. You'll be extremely sorry.

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: You welcome the shot. It's nothing.

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: The shot is called an Epidural.

@Youcannotfollowme: on a scale of 1 to kill me now, how bad is it?

9

But always tell hospital staff 10.. Thats code for omfg.. give me something to help this excruciating pain!!@Youcannotfollowme:

@fairone: it sounds terrifying yet beautiful !

@Kamawanai: Because u have been given the gift to create, bare, and produce life.. It is an amazing privilege!

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: IKRRRRR

@Babylon: What's epidural birth?

@KandiGhostcat: exactly what I'm searching right now..

@ProdigalSummer: you mean the breathing techniques helps soothe and manage the pain?

@Kamawanai: someone who helps the mother before, during and after birth. They provide emotional and physical support but no medical care. I did everything from prenatal education to squeeze hips during birth to boiling water for birth tubs at home births to lactation support.

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: yes, that and things such as using a birthing tub, position changes and moving as much as possible and even self hypnosis.

@LittleWolfKiller: actually these answers are terrifying 😅 I mean I already knew but having soooo many women constantly assure it is mortifying because I know one day its coming for me! 😂

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!! 😢

@WhosThatChocolateGirl: It's not scary, just painful. The better shape you're in, the easier it is. Keep your weight down and it's less painful. Spinal block is the way to go. Some women just drop them out like nothing. They have them in the elevator. Very easily. Mostly, it's at least 8 hours of labor or up to 12. In the olden days women were stronger from hard work. They'd deliver then go right back out and work in the fields.

@MasterLee: *hit noggin' with cast iron pan*

@justmerae: More like paper cut lol

@Quizzical lol it's the curse of Eve!

@CoCoPuffs 😂

@TheCoolestCat: But you push the baby out. That's why someone has to hold the woman's hand.

@Majorlatency: You'd men be screamin'...Take it out!! Damn it! Get it out!!

@justmerae: We'd be screaming during the procreation process, let alone the resulting output event...

@DixieChick: that's how I feel! And then i hear it can rip, you can poop yourself and I think 😅 WHY
