What about those women, that have babies from start to finish in 4 hours, no pain meds.. Cause it's was to quick .. (I asked in first labour for it, but pain meds came too late, second child didn't ask, cause I new it would be fast) Although I never tell women this, unless the are scared of there first birth experines, and I try to point out the good things..

I get what you mean. Was my labor worse than yours? I highly doubt it... my point is that nobody on this Earth can compare such an experience when everyone's is different in some way. I just hate it when each "labor story" told in a group of women gets bigger and bigger and more and more painful until it's like it is a miracle the final woman survived at all and the first storyteller in the group just looks like a sissy. I guess it's like what I was saying before about people having to be sicker than someone else. Why not just say "I'm sorry you feel bad" or "childbirth hurts!"? Why does it have to be "well, while you're complaining about that joint pain, let me tell you about my right hip replacement and left knee replacement and acl surgery..." or "oh your labor was a cakewalk compared to mine! you labored for 36 hours? honey, they cut me open from **** to *** and it took 18 stitches and my baby came out with a head the size of a watermelon!" I just hate one-upsmanship in general I guess.​

Only reason child birth is painful is because people go in with the mindset that it will be.

Pictures of children with food all over their face & or hands. it is NOT cute, it is disgusting. Wash them first, then take their picture. and please do not use the picture as wallpaper on your computer screen. it is nasty and I do not want to clean up your computer virus because I have to use your keyboard and i don't want your childrens virus on my fingers.

One of my pet peeves? When people don't bother to spell out their words. I have no problem with using abbreviations, but some people take it too far. Is it too much to ask you to spell out 'you' 'to, two, too' 'are' 'your'. Or to spell 'the' and 'like' correctly, instead of 'teh' and 'liek'. I understand when texting, but on the computer. With a full keyboard in front of you? I sometime see it here, someone will post about their chickens and say they have PR. What are they? Production reds? Partridge rocks? Plymouth rocks? I see the same abb. used for all, with no mention of which breed.

Edit: And I completely agree with the post above mine.

Only reason child birth is painful is because people go in with the mindset that it will be.

People that think they know what it's like to experience something that they aren't capable of experiencing.

I can PM you examples of why my statement can be considered factual.

Until you have a child or even cramps then I wouldn't go there.
