I had the opposite problem after my one & only child was born ... as i was in labour for 2.5hrs so i got "Oh, YOU had it easy didn't you " ... mind you DP's step-Gran whom hasn't had a child made this comment only 8days after i gave birth on my 1st Mother's day ... and my SIL whom also doesn't have a child made the same comment to me about 1mth later with a severe screaming colic bub in my arms Grrrr ... And they said it with a snigger which i thought was so cruel

Kaz ... next time tell them " Yes i birthed, wasn't easy but YES it was the most magical day of my life
