Is childbirth painful for everyone?
Pain during labor is different for every woman. It varies widely from woman to woman and even from pregnancy to pregnancy. Women experience labor pain differently — for some, it resembles menstrual cramps; for others, severe pressure; and for others, extremely strong waves that feel like diarrheal cramps.
Can you give birth with no pain?
Benefits. The greatest benefit of an epidural is the potential for a painless delivery. While you may still feel contractions, the pain is decreased significantly. During a vaginal delivery, you're still aware of the birth and can move around.
Do you have to be fit to give birth?
Intentional movement and exercise may help stack the deck in favor of certain outcomes, but ultimately childbirth is unpredictable and its course depends on a lot of factors that are outside of your control. To be clear, exercise does not guarantee an easy birth. And not exercising doesn't doom you to a tough birth.

Exercise helps prepare you for childbirth.
Some studies suggest that the fitness level of the mother can result in shorter labor, fewer medical interventions, and less exhaustion during labor. Being in shape will not decrease the pain, but it definitely will help give you the endurance needed to get through labor.
Is it more common to have a girl or a boy?
Research over hundreds of years has consistently found that boys naturally outnumber girls at birth. The speculation is that this is nature's way of countering the relatively high mortality rates of males, and creating more of a gender balance in the population.
What's the worst pain known to man?
Cluster Headaches: The Worst Possible Pain? The rare "suicide headache" is lesser-known than migraines, widely misunderstood, and often described as the worst pain known to humans.
Can you give birth silently?
While there's no scientific evidence to support the idea that silent birth preserves the baby's psyche, it's long been known that women labor most effectively in calm, supportive environments. And contrary to popular belief, a silent (or mostly silent) birth is possible (even if you're not a Scientologist!).
Do people moan while giving birth?
Moaning - From short and low to long and loud, moaning during labor is one of the most common sounds a laboring woman will make. It is very normal for laboring sounds, like moaning, to sound a lot like the sounds you hear or make during sex.
How do you push during labor?
Typically, you're told to take a deep breath at the beginning of every contraction, hold it, then tighten your abdominal muscles and push down with as much force as possible while the nurse counts to 10. This is also known as the Valsalva method. (Some moms say it feels like straining to have a bowel movement.)
