Does it happen only to a first time breastfeeding or each time you have a baby?

illicit:
I never see any woman dey cry while breastfeeding before, except maybe the baby bit their nipple and they shout.

Ouchbabe:
Truth be told, first few days of breastfeeding can be very painful. The pain is not only on the nipples but goes straight to the stomach.
Despite the excruciating pain, motherly love won't let you stop breastfeeding.
Strength of a woman by Shaggy comes to my mind

LivingSage:
Wow. Some of us are just knowing this for the very first time.

I thought the lady was only making content as believed by most men in first page until I'm seeing different testimony. .

You can make thread about this as well for public understanding, those men didn't know, should they the reaction would have been different

arkad139:
Did she cried while she was busy breast feeding grown up guys? Nonsense and ingredients #mtswww

DrAda:
Every birth. The reason is quite simple. When the new born baby sucks the breast, the brain releases a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone helps to contract the uterus which serves to prevent further bleeding following child birth. This contraction can be very painful. Almost as painful as labour. I am actually quite surprised that many people don't know this.

In addition to the pain associated with uterine contraction, the nipples are equally painful as well. Not sure why that is. So imagine a mother going through the rigors of natural birth/episiotomy or ceaserian section only to learn that there is yet another source of pain waiting right by the corner from breastfeeding. It is incredibly overwhelming and tear jerking.

Banbanna:
Hmm, thanks Doc for this piece of info. That's why I keep thanking God for making a man. And if there's ever a next life, I'd wished to still come as a male being coz there's way too much physiological challenges for the female gender

Ouchbabe:
My dear, each time you have a baby, it's a new experience again.
The nipples pain is small compared to the stomach pain. It looks as if your intestine is twisting

Zonefree:
She's just being dramatic.

Same breast she dey give matured man with sharp 32 teeth to suck.

Women always want men to believe that everything about them is painful.

Childbirth - painful
Breastfeeding - painful
House chores - painful
Doggie - painful

dominique:
Every time she has a baby but for a first timer, the pain is more excruciating because it has never been experienced. The pain feels like someone is slicing your stomach with a razor from inside and you have to keep enduring because baby has to feed. The good thing is that it subsides with every feeding session and after a few days, the sharp pains are gone but light cramps can be felt from time to time

DrAda:
I understand. I am particularly grateful that I am a woman because unlike men, I am almost certain that I will live longer and have a better quality of life than men who are my peers. Praying to be a woman in my next life, God willing.

Banbanna:
If I were you, I'd say "most likely", there's nothing really certain about life .
Though, there's the general thinking that women have more longevity than men, but it's still not a given. It depends on life's circumstances and on the permissive will of our creator.

An acquaintance of mine who lost his wife recently, told me that the reason he had recently set up a big provisions business was because he'd thought that he's likely going to die before her. But to his utmost disappointment, it didn't go according to his plans, as his wife passed away at a prime age of 39yrs living behind her hubby and 4 kids.

DrAda:
I tried to be extra for your own benefit and I am glad that it worked.

You were happy to be a man because women are plagued with physiological changes. To drive it home, you prayed to remain a man in your next life. I am sure that you meant well but you made it look like women were cursed or something whereas I actually feel blessed hence my cryptic reply to your post.

In summary, I think that you should follow your own advice. There is really nothing that is certain about this life. Yes, we do have our own unique challenges as women but so do you men which believe it or not include dying earlier than women on an average. That is a statistical fact and the example that you gave is what statisticians tag as an outlier.

Cheers.

Pacesetter123:
But this your own explanation is different from what some of your gender above there are offering.
They made it look as if the suckling of the baby causes wound/sore in the nipple,hence, the pains.
But from your explanation here,the pain is entirely in a different organ of the body and not in anyway near the mammary gland as they are trying to make it look. There might be wound or sore if the baby mouth is not properly attached to the nipple.

Loveenthed:
Ouchbabe, I know i will definitely see you on this Thread😂

You and "Family Education" are inseparable.
