[Margaret Pilkington]

I didn't think labour was 'that bad' either....but I didn't go back for a second helping. I didn't have any pain relief...nothing, no gas and air, not even two paracetamols....and my daughter was 8lb 10oz....that gives the game away as to how long ago it was. (so she wasn't one of these tiny delicate looking babies)
I would say that the only way a man can maybe have some understanding of what labour is like....would be to shove a fair sized water melon up his bum and then tell him to part with it
