Today, my sister told me that she read that the pain of giving birth is equal to the pain of breaking 20 bones at once. I'm 19 weeks pregnant. FML

Just take the drugs when they offer them, the epidural may hurt at first but it's so worth it

You need to tell your sister she is a MORON...every childbirth experience is different. I didn't feel any of my contractions until 7 centimeters dilated. if you can't take the pain you can always get an epidural. if your sister has never had a child she has no room to talk about what it feels like

Pssh, take a couple of the shots they can give you and then when it starts to get to you, get your epidural. You'll be just fine! I couldn't feel pain, but I could feel sensation, AND I could walk.

There aren't enough endorphins in the world to make me forget the pain of labour, when I was pregnant with my first daughter all the mums I asked kept telling me that it hurt but what came out of it was amazing! I made a promise to myself that when my daughter gets pregnant I'm going to describe IN GREAT DETAIL the agony she put me through for 36 hours! And some of those on here who post their own experiences are right, it is different for everyone. I had my first on pethidine that made me sleepy and a bitch midwife, then two other midwives who made me lay on my right side with my leg up because she was in difficulty. My second was born in 2 1/2 hours, weighing 8lb 5oz on nothing but gas and air and I was made to lay on my back. If you can, tell the midwife exactly what you want to do and she should comply, providing there are no hitches. Congratulations!

How do they quantify these things? Have mothers broken 19 bones at once, said "Eh, not as bad as childbirth was," then later broke 20 bones at once and commented "OK, THAT was worse than childbirth!"? Just sayin', you can't really quantify pain in an ethical scientific way.

its from a stupid internet picture that claims a del is a unit of pain. there was a later one that claims being hit in the balls was like 20k dels. Its all stupid because pain is fully subjective. some people have a higher pain tolerance, so the same injury to different people feels different

I think it depends on your pain tolerance bcuz I slept through all the contractions
