carefreewannabe: Or it could be they have no answer. It's an undeniable fact that females find it difficult bearing pain. My experiment was meant to show that, when subjected to same amount of pain, women tend to exaggerate it more. I see nothing in childbirth that will make it an exception to the norm. you: Have you even cared to click on the source provided? Yes, I read and perfectly understood it.

rationalmind: As long as men cannot give birth, the comparisons are useless. Yes, I read and perfectly understood it. Whatever disagreement you may have with their conclusion, it doesn't change the fact that their conclusion is a valid deduction. Their conclusion is absolute rubbish and I have explained why women assess the pain briefly after labor to be less intense. "Scientists" should know it.

rationalmind: From your post, you compared the pain tolerance of both sexes using high school flogging as an analogy. Who even thinks of labour pain and relates it with the kind of pain induced by flogging except someone who has no idea what labour entails. Labour pain isn't just a physical on-the-surface kinda pain. ...And until you witness a man go through labour pains, the analogy remains illogical to me. But , hey, feel free to believe it is overhyped. *shrugs* 3 Likes |

Nonso23: Women have endured pain without anesthetics for ages and you are not in the position to tell what it feels like to suffer from menstrual pain and from pain during child labour. Apart from this, some people tolerate pain better than others. There is research on this. And unless you will give birth to a child, you will not be in the position to compare it to migraine or any other pain. If a woman says that the pain during labor was the worst pain she has experience, I see no reason to question her. 9 Likes |

Nonso23: Nonso, really since you havnt worn that shoe before and will never wear it, it is rather (am searching for a proper word to express myself now) improper for you to compare the pain of labour with migraine. I have delivered 4 normally before and I must say easier than most women(I have relatively short labour) with my 2nd almost been born at home! but I can categorically tell you that childbearing cannot be compared with migraine, root canal or kidney stones(I know of all these ![]() 6 Likes |

carefreewannabe: I hope you realise by saying this, you've essentially destroyed what science is all about, which is making inferences. you: Their conclusion is absolute rubbish and I have explained why women assess the pain briefly after labor to be less intense. "Scientists" should know it. Lol, you're one funny lady. I read your previous reply and I can't help but wonder how you can't see yourself shooting yourself in the foot. If oxytocin makes them forget the pain after childbirth, doesn't that equally imply the same oxytocin will make them feel less pains during labour? Isn't the same oxytocin produced during labour? Look at how you confirm the research for the researchers. Thank you for proving me point for me ![]() 2 Likes |

rationalmind: I was referring to your comparisons of flogging. Lol, you're one funny lady. I read your previous reply and I can't help but wonder how you can see yourself shooting yourself in the foot. There is a mixture of hormones that makes women experience feelings of euphoria AFTER delivery, these hormones also facilitate the bonding process between mother and child AFTER DELIVERY. Yet, women don't experience euphoria during labour or have you ever experienced a woman giving birth, smiling and dancing? No, they SCREAM! |

thandii1: The experiment I cited wasn't an analogy. An analogy compares two things. I am not comparing. I am showing that, if at lower levels of pain, girls are known to exaggerate pain, there is nothing that will prevent them from exaggerating pain at higher levels. That's the very simple and clear point the experiment seeks to drive in which surprisingly eludes you. 3 Likes |

carefreewannabe: And how many times will I say it wasn't a comparison? It simply shows what happens at lower levels of pain. I further argued that, there's no barrier that will prevent such from happening at higher levels of pain. That's inferential not comparison. you: There is a mixture of hormones that makes women experience feelings of euphoria AFTER delivery, these hormones also facilitate the bonding process between mother and child AFTER DELIVERY.

rationalmind: There are men AND women who are more sensitive to pain. It is not a question of gender. Maybe you go back to read your link. The same set of hormones you claim gives them euphoria after childbirth are equally present during labour. The effects of hormones are very complex and even though some women experience a state of euphoria AFTER delivery, they do NOT during labor. Besides, the moment the woman gets to hold her new born baby in her arms, she is so moved that she forgets the pain. Believe whatever you want. I wish the pain I experience every month wasn't so bad and I wish the pain during labor won't be worse. I have no reason to prove to anyone that it is bad, I pray it wasn't. |

carefreewannabe: You can try out that experiment and tell me what you arrive at. You need not even carry it out. You can ask any teacher. Those of us who attended secondary schools where we were beaten almost every other day already know the answer. At lower levels of pain, ladies generally exaggerate it more. It's an undisputed fact. |
Re: God bless all Mothers. Amen by Nobody: 10:51pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
rationalmind: Ok. Women exaggerate. |
Re: God bless all Mothers. Amen by smartmom(f): 10:53pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Like a poster mentioned earlier, different thresh hold for different women. Matter of fact, even for one woman, different deliveries elicit different pain. It is completely wrong to make sweeping comments that women generally exaggerate or fake pain. Hey it isnt a popularity contest thing. Like I mentioned, I have relatively short labour and can even say I can take on the pain of labour to the discomfort of episiotomy( that is another messy and painful part of labour) which is probably what the woman that preferred natural childbirth to a Csection said but for a normal delivery of say 6 to 12 hours, believe the women that say it is excruciating pain. And to site carefreewannabe, yes the oxytocin rush does give a woman a 'high' like you can conquer the world. Delivery is a life altering experience I assure you. I have bragging rights ![]() 4 Likes |

carefreewannabe: And I repeat for the umpteenth time ladies are more sensitive to pain. It's an undisputed fact. Yes, here and there, you might find guys who are as sensitive to pains as ladies, there are always exceptions. I'm talking of the norm and not exceptions. you: The effects of hormones are very complex and even though some women experience a state of euphoria AFTER delivery, they do NOT during labor. I can see you're unwilling to accept that the same hormones causing euphoria after childbirth can equally make labour less painful. I think I know why. If women told you the pain of labour is much more than that of menstruation, they are only confirming what the researchers found out. They are exaggerating the pain. They've forgotten several times during labour when the pain wasn't intense- Probably due to the release of those hormones. 1 Like |
