Is Childbirth Really The Most Painful Thing Or Is It Exaggerated?

Who said its exaggerated? Show me that person.
Childbirth is definitely the worst pain I have experienced and endured. It hurt. I thought i was going to pass out. I could feel the baby doing whatever it was doing in there trying to get out. It was the wierdest feeling of my life.  No position was comfortable. I sat, I stood, I walked, I crouched, I rolled.Labor left me incoherent and seeing things. I was just begging God to save me from this baby.
I was begging for that epidural like it was crack. I needed relief. Ive never begged for anything like that. As soon as i got it i felt instant relief. My panic subsided and i was calm. As soon as my baby came out I was crying more in relief than anything else. It was like I had been set free.

I was kind of traumatized. Physically i was ok. But mental recovery was a long time coming. A looooooooong time. Still havent done it again. 

 ;d

my mother tell me so.

Sighs, deep breath, sighs again!!!

Now my fears are worse, I had this same fear as I was growing up in my early twenties, so I went to my mother and asked her, " mummy is true that child birth is sooooooooooooooo painful to the point of death?" She simply said NO, afterall she had seven of us, that if it was that painful, she would not have continued having children up to 7 and that if she still wanted more children, she would have continued, And my dad's mum( grandma) had 18 births, which is true, I actually remember this very well, Infact I  witnessed my only sister being born.

My dad was not in the country that year, so my fathers mum (grandma) came to stay with us because my mum was almost due, but we all slept in separate rooms. Then suddenly my mum called me and said her tommy is turnning her, u know ,  she complained of slight abdominal pains and rolled off her bed to the floor, my immediate elder brother and I sat by her side,  and in a few mins she said, Alexx pls. go and call grandma, now grandma was sleeping in the next room to ours in same flat, coming back in a few seconds, my only sister was already born and was crying,  right there by my mum alone, and  in the house. By this time my grandma was by her side and took over from there.

By day break she went to see her doctor in the hospital with the baby and still came came back with my sister that same day , she was adorable and sweet, I still recall.
My mum later told me that she was not due that day, but the baby just came, but still mother and child were  healthy and ok.

In a nut shell I believe it varies, and like in most cases , peoples situations are not always thesame, and before I wrap it up, an instance is menstrual pain or cramps, mine is excrutiating pain, it used to be so bad that there was a particular month I passed out, I just slumpped in the middle of the pain and felt peace, but I later  I woke up in the hospital. On somany occassions I was admitted, just for menstrual pain, it was that bad back then, to the extent that my family members took it upon them selves to also fast and pray about it, but still each month that came it got worse.

Then one day my dad said "GOD TAKE THIS PAIN OF MY LITTLE GIRL PLS, IF THERE'S NO WHERE TO THROW THIS PAIN, PLS. GIVE IT TO ME AS HER DAD, , AS A MAN I BELIEVE I'LL BE ABLE TO BEAR THE PAIN, MUCH MORE THAN HER" I can't forget this, am sure popsi has forgotten because so much time has rolled by, but to me its like yesterday. But my sister does not even know what this pain feels like, she does not feel the slightest of pain when she's on.  I believe same applies to childbirth. But with God all things are possible to them that believe, and at thesame time can do all things thru' Christ that strengthens me.

 i am scared to my bones 

Going to do some research on epidural straight up!!
Thumps up to everyone that has passed through it

not every woman experiences that dear.

Rofl what a joke

Watch this video, this woman didn't even make any noise nor did she struggle. i think it depends on the individual.

Exactly my point. some people can't tolerate pain while some can,  that's life.
