Hi all,

I got my nose pierced yesterday and I was actually amazed at how much it didn't hurt. Before I had kids, I had an extremely low pain threshold. After ds's birth it was raised a bit, but now, after dd's, it seems it's through the roof. A piercing that would have freaked me out a year ago was almost pleasurable.

However, my SIL, who had a long and traumatic birth with her dd, says she is the opposite- she can't handle pain at all now, no matter how much or what circumstance.

So... I'm just curious to hear what all the BB girls think. Are you more or less able to cope with pain after labour and birth? Do you think your pain threshold is lower or higher?
