Aaah the old "mine was bigger so it hurts more and that makes my badge better" club!!!~
Just let it go in one ear and out the other. I too have experienced varying degrees of size. My largest baby (almost 10lb) was the quickest birth. It was precipitous and it was quite a shock but pain wise - when there is a large ball sitting inside your vaginal entrance it is gonna hurt. It just is. Hurt more or less - really I don't even get why people need to compare. My Lucy's head was born in one push. Her sister nearly 2lbs lighter hurt much more. It's just a waste of energy doing the comparison.
It's how we deal with the pain that should interest us - and how we greet the miracle!
