What's Worse?

My biology teacher used to tell us passing kidney stones for a man was like 10x worse pain than giving birth cuz u know their umm penis is ummm narrower and those stones can get pretty darn big....

By that logic though I'd say childbirth wins....a baby is quite a bit larger than a vagina.

I may be one of the rare people who have had both. I had my kidney stones basket extracted, so I can safely say that childbirth was a longer recovery time. Both did hurt very badly initially.

Maybe I shouldn't weigh in on the kidney stone part, since I did not have to pass them?

Kidney stones are worse. With childbirth you know it will only last so long and you get a beautiful baby in the end. Kidneys stones go on for days and you have nothing to show for the pain

That is a d@mn good argument.

I had kidney stone when I was pregnant with my 2nd. I don't know for sure, as I got epidural for childbirth and got pain meds through IV in the hospital with the kidney stone. But for the time that I felt the pain, it's probably the closest a guy will ever feel labor pain. I also didn't know when the stone passed; I never saw it. I was fine after being in the hospital for a day. But I also only stayed in the hospital for 1.5 day after I had my kids. Recovery were pretty easy for the stones and the pregnancies.
