    Pretty sure I didn't say that it was fun or that I had sex with my baby. However, considering where the baby comes out and the particular nerve endings in that area, the physical sensations were similar. I am not the only woman who has experienced that, either. It's still bloody and difficult and there's a doctor down there with novacaine and a scalpal, so no, not like having sex with anyone.

    I was just teasing you a bit. :)

    Child birth and being kicked in the balls are nowhere close to being on the same level. How about discussing Cluster head aches and child birth.

    Me don't know have nuts, and when I delivered my son, I didn't have the epidural and still get asked if I was crazy. Honestly, I really didn't have much pain, was tired more then anything.

    The actual pushing part didn't hurt at all. When the contractions started. I pushed through them and didn't feel them at all. And the process of the baby actually coming out felt a lot like having sex. I can't speak for anyone else, but that was my experience and I've known a few other women who would say the same.

    I've heard that... don't some women orgasm as they give birth?

    I think so. I didn't quite get that far! lol But I only pushed for 20 minutes total. I did pee across the delivery room, though.

    Definitely child birth. Any man who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

    Getting kicked in the nuts. Any woman who thinks otherwise is an idiot.


    See what I did there?

    Nicely done. No double standards here!

    Because male friends of mine are continually saying being kicked in the gonads is more difficult I wanted a broader opinion. Feel free to start a cluster headache/child birth thread if you'd like. :P

    Usually you don't get administered heavy doses of pain medication BEFORE getting kicked in the nuts. . . so I'm gonna go with NUTS being more painful. :laugh:

    From what I imagine, getting kicked in the balls is more like IMMEDIATE intense pain that slowly lessens. Labour in child birth starts slow and gradually gets more intense. The comparison isn't fair. Kind of comparing a sprint to a marathon. Not only that but everyone's child birth experience is different.

    Nuts. It's briefer pain, true...but definitely more painful during that short period. And like someone said, we dont take pain meds preemptively

    Childbirth! It lasts nine months, getting kicked in the nuts, maybe nine minutes.

    I watched my wife deliver our son. I've never felt pain like what I watched her go through. No comparison.

    So if the child birth last 9 months, how long is the pregnancy?

    Sometimes, giving birth without pain meds is not all that bad. Like when you are giving birth in a nice deep tub of warm water to a normal-sized baby, and you've continued martial arts training throughout your whole pregnancy--totally doable.
    But sometimes--like if you've sat around on your butt eating whatever you've wanted your whole pregnancy, and are trying to push out a 9lb 6oz baby that's turned the wrong way--it's horribly excruciating.

    All that to say...keep eating well and exercising while you are pregnant, ladies! :wink:

    hmmm

    well this is going to be a very split topic. lol


    I think a better would be

    Birth vs gallstones

    Or kidney stones!

    I have had 2 vaginal births, gallstones, and THREE kidney stones--one of which was 14mm and required 3 surgeries to deal with. Labor, gallbladder attacks and Kidney stones are about the same on the pain scale. Kidney stones are a special kind of hell when you try to pass them--my second one must have caused microscopic tears in my ureter and urethra because I still had trace blood in my urine a month later.

    I agree with the advice, but neither outcome is guaranteed.

    We would have to find someone who has experienced both, if such a person exists, in order to begin to settle this.

    Child birth is a natural process that the female body was designed to do. The male body wasn't designed to get kicked in the nuts so I'll go with the nuts.

    Recovering from an ACL repair was, IMO, way worse than child birth and I gave birth with zero pain killers. In fact, I had to wait writhing in agony for the doctor to arrive and I'd still pick birthing over the pain of that ACL recovery. And the baby hitting the birth cannel does not hurt so much as it burns, like a thousand odd fires (in your vagina).

    I had to have a colposcopy two years after my daughter was born. THAT was pain like I've never experienced. Didn't last as long, but was much, much worse than childbirth.

    2 c-sections....once the initial pain is gone, there's so much soreness no meds work. plus, u still can't lift anything-not even a gallon or milk or oj for 3+ months w/o pain


    know from experience & have a high threshold for pain - i've had the following as well - and some meds just didn't even dull the pain at all:

    1 knee surgery,
    2 ankle surgeries (on same ankle)
    4 wisdom teeth pulled (that i was never supposed to have)
    8 baby teeth pulled when i was @ 12 or 14 - needed them to be pulled for braces
    1 field hockey ball to my left (during a HS game)

    I've been kicked in the nuts. Felt like your nuts go up to your stomach and a numbing pain that doesn't go away, I fell to the ground and started to tear up, I then started to laugh uncontrollably.

    I'm giving this one to the ladies.

    I'm gonna say childbirth just because I've seen how my man handles a cold. No way would he survive childbirth. lol
