Does Childbirth Hurt?
A woman goes
to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor
asks her if she has any questions. She replies,
“Well, I'm a little worried about the
pain. How much will childbirth hurt?”
The doctor answered,
“Well, that
varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it's
difficult to describe pain.”
“I know, but can't you give me some idea?” she asks.
“Grab your
upper lip and pull it out a little...”
“Like this?”
“A little
more...”
“Like this?”
“No. A
little more...”
“Like this?”
“Yes. Does
that hurt?”
“A little
bit.”
“Now stretch
it over your head!”
