My part in childbirth was relatively painless.

Really? And here all this time I thought it was because I had to push something the size of a Thanksgiving turkey out of my nether regions!! Seriously, either you are basing this on the experience of a woman who has been in incredible physical shape for all her births (I was for my oldest DD, and felt minimal pain ... NOT the case with my last two!!!!) or her kids were the size of hamsters ... No, my pain during my last two labors was not illusory; I assure you it was very real DESPITE me expecting LESS pain from previous experience - As I said, I had a relatively pain free birth for the eldest. Don't assume everyone's experience is the same.
