Giving birth is not always so painful.

I have been reading a post here that included childbirth. It was called "excruciating pain" by a lotter and others said that if men gave birth, our race would have ended. Thinking back, I think that when I had stones in my gall bladder (I needed surgery and then the doctors CUT!) it was much worse than giving birth. When I gave birth, I went to my doctor and told him that I had heard about painless labor. He answered that it was not completly painless but it could be a lot better. He then told me that if someone hit me anywhere when I was not prepared, it would hurt me a lot. But if I KNEW that I would receive a punch, I´d prepare my muscles and it would not hurt so much. I did that and I did some gym. I also followed a diet (that was terrible) that made me stop gaining weight. I gave birth to both of my girls less than being 2 hours at the hospital. No excruciating pain. I have had pains that last forever though. When a loved one dies, there is a permanent scar that no cream soothes. I don´t think that being strong has to do with genre. But it has to do with culture. We must change that. It is slowly changing but it has to be done quicker. We must demand respect. All human beings.
