I made my bf watch One Born Every Minute last night. I don't think he would agree with that statement now (If he every did before). It was like he was watching a horror film.
Childbirth wasn't the worst pain I have ever felt in my life, it does come a very close second to having a chest drain inserted and kept in position for 9 days though.
I think some women do exaggerate terribly. I thought my labour was going to get so much harder judging by the noises coming from other rooms. Turns out they just like to scream constantly.
ettelloc..just because your birthing experience wasn't too bad ,doesn't mean that others are exaggerating if they have a rough time! I'm at least prepared to think that some people have less painful births,why aren't you prepared to think that some have morepainful births?
