Do you have a suggestion for a specific smiley?

Perhaps something with horns and a pitchfork?

I agree with you mtlm, it all depends on the anatomy of the woman.
In my case YES, it was painful but not HORRIBLE!!.. Maybe I was luckier than Elisabeth .
My baby was born 4 hours after I arrived to the hospital, everything was too fast that I did not need the epidural(lucky me ) The hardest part was after the labor, when I had to deal with “the healing” ....since my baby was too big (9 pounds) the doctor said he needed to cut a little ....a little??? no way!! that was way too much

Personally, I think it is inevitably painful. Labor was hard, especially during transition and delivery was even more painful. I had a difficult recovery, because I tore during delivery in addition to having an episiotomy. There are also other problems due to the force of pushing during childbirth which I care not to mention . I took several childbirth classes and tried every breathing technique I was taught. It worked to a degree but I still had a conciderable amount of pain. I am a relatively tall woman with an average frame...but I am not sure if it helped or not. I have known many women who are smaller than me who had a much easier time....I was in labor for 36 hours. With all this said, I would still rather have a natural childbirth than a C-section if given the choice. As much time as it took me to heal, I can´t imagine recovering from surgery with a little baby to take care of ..... my hat is off to you ladies who tough it out!

When I read this I´m so happy that years ago I decided ´to have the pleasure without the problems´...

i think i was relatively lucky when it came to labour....... first one was 4 hours and only used the tens machine (little electric pulses to build up you pain threshold)
2nd was in labour for 2 hours and only just made it to hospital.....he he ......nearly born in carpark...i don´t remember the pain being severe but i think the joy and elation of this new little person just cancels out any pain.......
mmmm must be my child bearing hips

This non-medical "trend" for C-Sections makes me so angry. It is selfish, expensive and indulgent to have your baby by choice this way. Many people don´t realise the risk they are taking with their baby. Contractions in a normal birth are there for a reason and benefit the baby physically in numerous ways, including breathing. It is extremely traumatic for a baby to be suddenly grabbed out of the womb, with no warning.
I wanted to say that this is bull! There is absolutely NO difference for the baby which way it comes out!!! C-sections are twice as dangerous to the mothers though, that is what many people don´t realize.
