I'll let ya know what the wife thinks about child birth in about 7 1/2 months!! Thing is she's looking forward to it, doesn't want an epidural or anything, wants to do it as natural as she can (its our first)

zomg whoever told her that it is TERRIBLE advice. Convince her to get an epidural - she and you won't regret it.

My wife gave birth 8 months ago and was in so much pain even WITH an epidural, that she had to have gas. The beauty is, with female hormones, she had completely forgotten the pain 1 day later.

However, Carolyn actually started crowning just as the epidural top-up was due (hence the plain relief was running out) yet they couldn't administer it as she was too close to the end. Despite that, once he was out, the doctor stitched her up WITHOUT ANY PAIN RELIEF whatsoever - at that point the hormones/pheromones kicked in and she was gold. However her stitches down there were an entirely different story for the next month :)

And yes I can't agree more Rubz - a few hours of medicated pain in birth is nothing compared with 3 weeks of agonizing shoulder pain - or even worse knee pain like Tangles.

And yes, unqualified people should just STFU no matter what. How can Amber think she knows anything about the pain of childbirth if she has never experienced it herself.

Heya Roo,

I know where your coming from, we have had conversations that i also dont need to see the need to mention on here, but i know that your completely justified in your feelings!

I dont know anything about having kids, but im good at waking them up arent i Andrew! lol!

I think any women that avoids having kids because of the associated pain doesnt deserve to be a mother anyway, as any normal women like my wife are happy to endure that sort of pain to bring a new life into the world, its the joy that little life brings that is the important part IMO.

Amber annoys me on more topics than this one, mainly because she is quick to jump on her high horse on any subject when she knows nothing. I mean really, she trys to live her life like characters off sex and the city, that says enough for me, no wonder she cant get a man!

Too right mate. Now she does nohting for me but irritate me ... might switch over to Nova :)

Taking it a bit further, its annoying to see teens becoming mothers. Just have a look at your major shopping centre during the day. 14 and 15yo mothers shopping and bludging, all paid for by the tax payer. Those who want kids can't have them or can't afford it (thanks for the rising costs) and those who are having kids sometimes hardly deserve them, raising them in poor conditions and with lack of care/discipline. And what about this 18yo who left her dead baby on a neighbours driveway? Now, granted, I do not know the full circumstances, so I'll withhold my opinion and not feed her to the wolves ... but on the face of it, how could you not know you're pregnant? The Court will decide, I'll stick to reading it in the papers.

I fear society today are not good parenting material. They'll bitch about "giving birth" and the hard life and still claim the world owes them something ... when it suits them, as it suits them. The baby bonus is no incentive at all for the middle income family to lose one job while having a family, but a great incentive for a teen student to drop out of school. But in the day when the Govt throws you free money for having babies at any age (even early teens) with the baby bonus and support pensions ... it shows the teens who don't want to be in school are actually smarter economists than the Goverment.

Here's a new approach for the Govt: Baby bonus only for those couples/single mothers over the age of 18, who can prove they had a job in the first place? How about increasing the baby bonus rate according to the % loss of income and age? Reward the tax payer, by giving them something back. Don't give free money to bludgers! Centrelink are aware of this ... my mother is a manager within Centrelink and they've been pushing this to the Govt for years. The Govt just hasn't fixed the problem.

Blah ... I'm expanding further on this and derailing the thread topic ...

;)

Amber Petty is narrow minded ... enuf said ;)

IMO it should be over 21. The baby bonus wont cover even half the initial costs of having a baby, but its the deadbeats who go on today tonight saying nah just want the cash, who need a swift kick in the teeth. WTF is society coming to?

I still like the TV ad where her dress is tucked into her undies :banana:

I mean, shes ok looking, i'd do this, would you? :bunny:

If I woke up, and her head was on my arm, just so I wouldn't wake her, I'd chew my own arm off...

Bet she used to work in a bakery. They pushed her face in the dough to make gorilla biscuits ;P

Child birth is a completely different pain to any injury, neither could be compared!

And I wholly agree!

Child birth is painful. Broken bones are painful. Groin injuries are painful. How do they weigh up against each other? They don't. Everyone is an individual to pain also. Those who have experienced excrutiating pain deserve to speak about it, but you still can't compare one to the other.

Those who have never broken their shoulder in 3 places could not understand the intense pain I went thru for 3 weeks and further discomfort pain for the next 2 months after. The same goes for child birth. Amber has no idea what she is crapping on about. :banana:

I agree. Lets break Amber Pettys shoulder in 3 different places!!!!!1one. She can work on the childbirth thing herself. Roflcopter.

I broke my shoulder in February this year and I put up with alot of pain for 3 solid weeks. I only got sleep when I was knocked out by the drugs. I was in pain for 3 weeks, not mere hours

oh man you're lucky you got drugs to cope with it! when i had a soccer injury, broke both my ankles and tore a ligament i was given no drugs! i didn't even get crutches or a wheel chair, i had to literally crawl to the doctors and at home, it was even a challenge to go take a piss! i was suppose to be fully recovered after 2 weeks if i didn't put any pressure on them but it couldn't be helped, i had to take a shit! so i was crawling on my knees for another 2 weeks! but when my sis hurt her ankle she got pain killers and crutches! :banana:

even though giving birth would be painful but isn't it worth baring it knowing you're bringing another life into the world? HARDEN THE FCUK UP!

Amber Petty isn't much better than that Milly girl who was doing the brekkie gig before her. SAFM are now full of ads, repeated music and repeated play lists day in, day out.

+1 for Nova.

Lol Nova is the same, they repeat all day, but at least its good music.

What do you expect to hear from a radio station whose target demographic is 20-30 year old women? As suggested switch to another station or listen to the CD/IPod/MP3.

As for the pain, Yes I am sure it can be painful BUT - over 50% of children are delivered via Caesarean, most/many women have an epidural even for natural births, so I guess there are only a handful (slight exaggeration) of women in Australia who could truly comment. The other fact is that women’s bodies were built to deliver children; it isn’t anything more than the body can cope with. Anatomically the Vagina has very few nerves which makes sense when you consider its function.

God bless the vagina! :(
