Raf wrote: Childbirth is nothing compared to the 20+ years that follow it. I definitely don't want kids. Taking care of my own life is enough responsability. I don't need another life in my hands. Plus, little children must be the most irritating things in the world when they knock on your bedroom door right when you're about to fuck their mother.

I'm betting she would.

If our ancestors had access to things like streaming internet videos and slideshows, I'm thinking they'd be just as 'oogie' about childbirth as we are today. It's good though, IMO. There are too many people in this world now anyway. It's time to cut back...

She was in pain, and she'd been having regular contractions for 5 weeks prior to actually going into physical labor for Gage. I got to see parts of her that I never really wanted to see, and seeing her in that kind of pain very nearly had me in tears. I can only imagine what her boyfriend felt, who was also there with us. But she wanted us there (me, our mom and of course her father). John was amazing with my sister, staying there the whole time and being an absolute angel. And when my nephew was born and came into the world, that was a moment I'll remember until the day I die. Suddenly, none of the more gross physical stuff mattered. Here was my nephew, the most beautiful baby in the world IMO, perfectly formed and ready to start life. I've never seen my sister happier or prouder, and John was positively glowing with pride. The first time she held him, she forgot all about the weeks of constant contractions before hand, the pain of delivery. None of it mattered anymore. That, in my opinion, is love.

It's never ending and constant. Child rearing is another issue - one that literally lasts a lifetime - but in no way can it be compared to the interminably long gestation, labor and delivery process. Those stand alone and at the peak of natural torture.
