  • It probably depends on the woman, but the majority I've hear said it does, if they aren't using anesthetic of a sort during. The labour I believe is probably the worst part. Some women go DAYS of straight labour. Which is when the Uterus opens up big enough for the head/shoulders to come out. As well, it's almost normal for women to get tears in their vaginal openings during the actual birthing process, so then there is that. But then again, you hear other women that say that it lasted 20 mins from labour to birth and they didn't have any issues with pain. So it's all up to the woman's pain tolerance I suppose.

  • Yes, little bit pain from what i heard but most women can handle more pain than men. ( no offense to guys)

    • Thank you for most helpful guy :)

  • It does. Once the vagina hole has been ripped, they also sew it back too. I don't see the point of having a natural birth. I rather get cut in the tummy to have baby out instead.

  • You are pushing a baby out of your vagina. Your vagina can tear all the way to your asshole during childbirth. It doesn't take a genius or even a mother to realize that it hurts.

  • Every pregnancy and birth is different. But epidurals makes it almost painless for most and you just feel pressure down there.

  • Considering a child rips out of your vagina, yeah I'd assume it smarts a little.

  • Yes I have heard it that it hurts a lot.. cause the uterus line wholly opened alongwith the opening of vag.. so definitely its a painful process but it's better be natural.. as it helps child healthy with good immunity !!

  • i've never heard anyone say it didn't hurt the first time or any subsequent time

    so yes it hurts (a lot) the first time, and the second time, and third time, etc, etc...

  • It hurts giving birth every time. Not just your first

  • Yeah, of course. It hurts to give birth no matter how many times you've done it.

  • women have died giving birth

    • Many women...

  • My BM walked into the birthing room with full confidence, high pain tolerance, and a "This will be easy" attitude. Couple hours into labor she was in tears squeezing my arm and neck and crying saying "I need an epidural now". I witnessed the entire process and I've never heard her scream like that ever.

  • I'll be able to let you know at the end of October.

  • Every time.

  • Of course

  • it's like, your stomach is going to explode

  • Is water wet?

    • I know a few women saying it hurted less than expected.

  • I think the second time will hurt too

  • I doubt it

  • Imagine squeezing a grapefruit out of a grape sized hole.

  • Never given birth, but if you're drugged up I'm sure it doesn't hurt. It's never fun.

  • Why are you pregnant?

  • Every woman is different. When I gave birth to my daughter I didn't feel anything but I had epidural though.
