I just wanted to get my baby out because I was worried about him. And the soreness afterwards! It lasted weeks! No one had told me about that. Sitting down hurt. But for me childbirth wasn't the worst pain I've experienced in life...and it was a very memorable experience, something out of the ordinary, something new. Of course, I didn't have "back labor"...which is supposed to be excruciating!

Menstruation is definitely what I dislike most about being female. I'm glad it doesn't hurt too much for you, Erica. The pain is pretty severe for me. In fact, I tolerated labor pain very well because I was so accustomed to similar severe cramping pain during periods. That's what labor felt like to me: like
really bad period pain. It wasn't the worst thing in the world. I didn't give birth vaginally, though -- have always wondered what that would've felt like (and kind of glad I didn't have to find out!). I had C-sections with both my children. The pain and soreness afterwards was really unpleasant for many weeks (same as you, Erica - but I guess in a different area!). That was the most difficult part to get through.
