Yep, I agree with all these but as well as suffering through all that I'd add that (because my labours were all so long) the exhaustion was like running in a marathon. My whole torso kinda burned like muscles do when you have to keep running whether you like it or not. So, tell your DH to try to run a marathon with a watermelon lodged in his colon and with people fussing all over him trying to attach IV drips and monitors and telling him that if he doesn't push out the watermelon someone will die! Oh and he also has to have regular examinations of his anus to see if the watermelon is crowning. I'm sure he would deal with it all just fine....

Bec you are one sick puppy PMSL ROFL
DH was very amazed and loving to me after my c/s. He was lucky enough to be present. I was fully sedated, because it was an emergency c/s. He almost fainted twice and had the world's respect for me afterwards. Telling everyone how they streched me open to get to dd and how he now knows me inside out :lol:
Mind you, it only lasted two weeks, but that two weeks was HEAVEN

Actually my labour pains really DID feel like a chinese burn on my cervix! I agree with the broken bone analogy to an extent, but it's just all that little bit more distressing because it's your genitals. I mean, i've broken my wrist and i didn't feel embarrassed about the 2 doctors, 3 nurses and 1 radiologist who examined it, but 6 strangers gazing up my vagina!! No thanks!

So I think it is unanimous your DH needs a slap upside the head!!!!!!!
So overwhelming that I couldn't talk or concentrate on anything that was happening around me because I'd lose it. Why would they offer women soooo many drugs if it didn't really hurt too much.
