What is it like to give birth?!
Question: Is it as bad as girls say it is? I mean it is something that no guy has any idea about and I think that is a good thing So is it the most painful thing ever and would it kill a man if he went through it?

Giving birth depends on every woman. Starting from the simplist version, being no complications.....giving birth is a lot like haveing a leg cramp that keeps coming and going in 1 minute spells. The cramps last quite long and are very strong. A good word for labor is the word IMINENT...without fail, more so than urgent,nothing else matters.Labor is a matter of a few hours and the pushing phase was just a few pushes, but the work out is tremendous and completely exhausting. Then you have the real labor group. Labor can take hours and days and is a very long drawn out process. Remember the charlie horses, or leg cramps I mentioned? Well think about 3 days of non stop cramps that impede you leg to the point that you can't use it, and surely wouldn't want to. For some reason in the real labor group, those cramps are so distressing, you cant sit right, you cant lay right, you can't stand right, nothing allieviates the discomfort at the onset of the cramp...and then theres the hurt from the cramp. These will hurt, you will say ow and whimper, if not outright cuss about it. As labor progresses the cramps get worse, intense and even more iminent. The pain is intense and most women opt for a pain measure of some sort. If it were just a head butt to the top of the nose...you would be struck and that would be the end of it...but in labor...that head butt keeps coming back. Women are truly at there worst in labor and may not be themselves as you would know them, as screaming obscenities is quite common, so is hitting the doctor or nurses and getting raked over the coals or treated like you cant do anything right for your woman who is bearing your child. Not that all women act that way....but it shows you a scope on what labor is like. After say a good 20 hours in labor a waoman is exhausted in a way she has never been before and never will be again unless she has another baby. There is nothing on this planet that is like child birth.....there is no pain as painful or iminent feeling to a woman as is labor. You can bet your boots is flat out hurts. The special groups labor is pretty much like I already described in the first 2 groups but these ladies have complications being from the simplest to very big complications. A complication can be any thing from high blood pressure, diabetes to I tore during delivery. Doctors do everything possible to work around a known complication but there are suprises at times. Complications at the least add a good measure of stress to an already painful affair. Some women sail through just fine and others end up telling you stories that make a guy think, geez I'd die. It is age old to say a man would die if he incurred the experience od labor. I say that structure wise a man is not set up to have a baby, where as a womans hips spread out, muscles move very literally to encompass the birth process. While there is no doubt of a mans strength, he simply isn't set up to go through labor. As is, I doubt a man would die, but he would suffer tremendous joint and muscle damage.
Well how is this for an answer, i thought i was going to die lol. 44 stiches later, i had my beautiful baby boy. I do remember stating that i never wanted to have another one but in all honestly. i don't remember how bad the pain was i just remember at that time i thought i was going to die from the pain. All i tell my husband (when he complains about pain) is until he can push out a 7"5' baby out of the tip of his penis, don't talk to me about pain lol.
It is very intense pain....and GOD made women to have children as men could never handle the pain of childbirth. Most can't handle a common cold without seeming like they are dying..
ahh but the pain subsides and you have a beautiful baby to enjoy....my mother did it 6 times....god bless her....really the pain....
be well...
I have three kids and yes it was painful. but no could probable with stand the pain to.
I can't say I experienced much pain. I had an epidural with our son. We aren't having any more children but I honestly wouldn't mind having another because the pain wasn't that bad at all. The pain leading up to my epidural wasn't so intense that I couldn't handle it, the baby was just in distress and they weren't sure exactly what they were going to need to do to get him out so they gave me an epidural to ease any excess pain
unless you ask someone who is still wet with sweat and bleeding they cannot remeber exactly how the pain is. I can rember both of my sons being born and all the details surronding them but as far as the pain I could not put it on a scale. I can tell you that i was crying it hurt so bad I just wanted it over. It was different between the two My first baby was bigger than the next birth and I did not have to have a c-section I gave birth to him after 17.5 hours and had to have 8 stitches inside. my second birth was 18.5 hours and that baby was 7 ounces smaller I had no stiches but was bleeding a lot and they had to manually contract my uterus so i had pain from the birth but also felt as if my stomach had been driven over by a semi truck. it is different for everyone because of each babies size, the size of the mom and her pelvis etc... you will have difference with those who get meds for the pain and those who go natural. hope this helps
I had 3 complicated births, one the baby was facing the wrong way (still head down), but it caused half of me to stop dilating(opening) and I pushed him through anyway, tearing myself open, it hurt but it went fast. Baby 2 had the cord around his neck, so he got stuck with just the very top of his head sticking out, I wanting to just slam myself against the bed, it hurt so bad to be stretched out for so long, it burned. Then Baby3 had too much fluid and everything in with im, so he kept floating back in and it take about an hour of pushing to get him out. It's very painful and I didn't use drugs, I dealt with it, it's hard and exhausting and I never want to do it again, my husband was with me for all 3 and said that he wouldn't be be to do it, he cried, well teared up) just seeing how much pain I was in during the labor.
It is not as bad as people say, although that depends on each person!!!!
I was really scared about it,but I started with contractions and had my beautiful baby girl 5 hours later, I was actually in more pain with the stitches than the birth, that is like doing the biggest poo you can imagine (sorry to be gross, but its the best way to describe it!!)
Any pain or discomfort is totally worth it as soon as you see your baby.
