might I suggest that in the future you avoid trying to squirt out a baby through your mouth? ;)

Ever been kicked in the balls?

The same argument works in reverse, how can a woman know that no man has felt pain paramount to child birth?

For the dental pain, try Benzocaine or Zidocaine. You can buy benzocaine in your drug store under the brand name Oragel. It's just a liquid you rub on your gums to numb the pain.

General Anaesthetic?

no. but then ive never tried to equate the pain a kick in the balls produces with the pain of childbirth. :)
Now what we have to understand is that this comes from an extremely clever and skillful program, that has manipulated us into ways of thinking that may be contrary to our own interests, but beneficial to the interests of the powers that be... beneficial to the interests of those who control our lives, and tax us until we have hardly a penny left to spend, take our money, and plough it into the creation of huge, armed bureaucracies, which exist to oppress us. We live in a society today where we may not make decisions, to explore our own consciousness. If I am not sovereign over my own consciousness, then I am sovereign over nothing.

I'd love to have a portable canister of nitrous oxide. I could take a time-out any time I want without the difficulties of trying to sleep.

My worst pain (and it was worse than childbirth) was with recurrent corneal erosion. Its like the top layer of your cornea isn't growing right, and for some reason, it erodes, leaving exposed nerve endings in your eye, and it hurts to blink or open your eye because the eyelid scrapes against the eroded cornea. During my worst episode (and it happens over and over again, hence the name 'recurrent') I had mentally come to terms with losing an eye and it would have been a relief. I truly thought it was over. I didn't open the eye for 17 hours - my husband had to take me and lead me into the eye doctor. Fortunately they had a numbing drops and fortunately its under control now. It was the worst pain ever.

I just had my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I imagined. I was scared. My only problem now is the pain meds make me queasy.

My worst pain: Childbirth followed closely with a Kidney Stone.

All mine came through when I was about fourteen. They never gave me any problems.

I've got a gap in between my teeth, but my teeth are good. I saw no reason to fook about with them. If the gap's unsightly to some, I really don't care. It's nature's way of helping me to enjoy spaghetti.
