How To Pass A Kidney Stone
I’m 23 and recently found out that I’m pregnant. My bf is older than I am and already has kids from before. I’m worried about childbirth and how painful it will be. He told me its similar to passing a kidney stone. I’ve heard him pass a stone before. Before passing it, he was on his hands & knees. I know he had a strainer that would rest over the toilet and he would pee into it. When the stone came out of his you know….he yelled! He takes 3 meds, for high blood pressure, a water pill and flomax for his BPH, not sure if any of those have anything to do with his stone problems? So, is passing a stone similar to childbirth?

No one can ever know. I would say its the worst pain men ever go through, so that’s all they can compare it with.

Well it depends on the woman, but child birth is usually pretty painful. Nowdays though they have so many ways to ease your pain. I had three babies naturally and wish I would have had the other two that way. I had epidurals and they have given me all kinds of back pain. Kidney stones is a more focused pain, whereas labor is usually your whole stomach/back area. It really isn’t too horrible though. I mean it seems pretty bad at the time, but once the baby is out, the pain fades quickly and you soon forget!

Haha not even close! Even though it does hurt a lot to pass a stone it’s nothing like child birth. Tell him to try and pass a tennis ball out of his penis and he might be close. Every child birth is different. Some have it easy and others have a whole lot of hell to go through. As a mother of two kids, take the epidermal.

Child birth is different for everyone! Just think everyday women have been giving birth…… for centuries….and we all survive it and go back and have more babies. Yes its painful but you forget about it as soon as you see your baby!! Mother nature designs it like that!!! And remember labour and birth are only one day of your life…..its raising the children that is hard!!!!

first of all DONT let a man try to tell you how child birth is when he has Never been through it his self…how would he even know? child birth is pretty pain full, for me i did it all natural ,no meds, no nothing, and the only thing that really hurt was when the top of my son head became to come out. when i was pushing i was telling my fam and docs "this isn’t as bad as i thought it would be" that was until he started crowning. but once the head is out everything is good. also my contractions hurt but i would just breath threw them and have a focus point when they got worse it really didn’t get that much more pain full it just felt like an strong strong almost uncontrollable urge to push. its actually hard not to cause your body do it on its on. the whole time i was pregnant i kept telling my self i do not know how in the world i was going to get threw the birthing part and i would think the worse was destined to happen, i kept telling my fiance i was going to need a epidural or some kind of med cause i wasn’t going to be able to take the pain. or that i was going to end up getting a c section. my labor only lasted 6 hours and it was my first child. i did a lot of walking and had alot of sex( toward the end of my pregnancy) trust me those things help alot. they both help kick start labor and walking helps it progress faster. so do alot of walking in your last trimester (not too much) maybe 20-30 mins everyday. also i wanna add every female is different and not everybody pain level is the same. just when its time have supportive people with you to keep you focused off the pain and it wont be soo bad.
