Noticed the same thing. Just as I can never really know how it feels to kicked in the nuts, all the fathers chiming in explaining how a birthing mother should manage her labor pain have no fucking clue what kind of pain their partners endured. Kick me in the shins all day and it won’t hurt more than back labor did. I’m not a motherhood failure because I accepted an epidural before I passed out from the pain. Anyone who thinks otherwise can go fuck themselves. If I hadn’t taken it I would’ve ended up with a c-section, and avoiding that was much, much higher on my priority list than earning “toughness” points for delivering drug-free.
