I won't say you haven't, but I would suggest waiting until you've gone through childbirth to make a statement like that. :)Quote:

I don't want to say too much on childbirth because I don't want to scare anyone but on a scale of 1 to 10 the pain was a 50! My labor wasn't the typical though.
exactly what I meant, atypical.
overall. baby, the people, atomsphere, etc. too.
For me, the worst pain has been the loss of my pets. Rascal (ferret), Sami (dog), Trouble (ferret) and most recently Miko (ferret).
I've been drilled unfrozen by the dentist, broken my ankle, several sprained ankles, carpal tunnel, surgery for carpal tunnel, stitches in the head after a fall and a divorce and all of these pale in comparison to losing a loved fur baby.

Thats the one thing guys absolutely, positively CANNOT take credit for!!
Losing my dad and GF within 5 months....
at least with CB you get something out of it!! ;)
Of course losing both Killian and ESPECIALLY Shiloh in 7 months. :( :(
Losing my brother.
Physical pain, gall bladder attack. I have nothing to compare it to, but I have been told by people that have had both, it is worse then childbirth. (Again, with childbirth, you have something to show for it!)
When I fell off Trigger and Severly sparained my ankle, I think it was more painful that I couldnt go out and do anything for a week!! I hate being stuck in my house/room! I have a couple more I thought of..When I ripped my toenail off that was gross and hurt! When I sliced my knee open on my freind play set and had to get stiches, and last getting my wisdom teeth out ! OWWW
Physically, probably... my headaches. Every once and a while I get the worst migranes. I've never broken anything or given birth, so I can't really say.
Emotionally, when I lost my three cats and when my parents were getting split and I didn't understand why. Relationships always hurt, even if you say they don't.
I fear the day my knee pain returns (it will :( ).. I remember crying for hours & hours & hours. Squirming all about in horrible pain, taking all kinds of meds, x-ray after x-ray, dr. after dr., day after day, year after year of horrid pain :(
Atleast with child birth its over in a few or many hours, but not days, months or years :(
It was quite annoying aswell, as I would be fine & playing with my friends or the dog & then BAM! I was on the ground screaming & balling my eyes out. The shortest time I had it for was about a day long. The worst was WEEKS long!
I was lucky to have Max back then. He was the best drug that I was given. I don't know why he let me hurt him like I did, hugging him WAY too tight, grabbing him or spasm & hit him really hard. I never ment to hurt him ever, I didn't know what I was doing 1/2 the time I was in so much pain. Max never left my side during one of my fits. The poor thing nearly cried as much as I did, but still refused to leave my side (dad tried & he fought to come back to me). Thats why I was sooooooo attached to Max.. I miss him dearly!
The greatest pain for me honestly is probably watching my husband suffer with a progressive degenerative disease that will never improve and will slowly steal his life. I can honestly that that childbirth and everything else pales compared to watching that happen. I've had kids without epidurals, I've broken bones, I've had a tooth pulled with no novocaine, but none of that truly hurts compared to living with the pain of each day and watching your spouse deteriorate. It's not something I usually speak of, but for me that would have to be it.
Sorry about that Vela I wasn't aware of what you are going through with your husband, that must be very hard.
After my mastectomy in 1998. There were complications. I will NEVER forget the excruciating pain.
A migraine I had recently. Well, any migraine, but the most recent one stands out in my mind because I was on the floor clutching my head and crying uncontrollably because I thought I was going to throw up/pass out.
Emotional...finding out that someone I had loved and trusted for several years had sabotaged our birth control to manipulate me.
