Actually, this could well be true. I'm glad I'll never have to go through it! Really men, can you imagine passing something the size and weight of a bowling ball?
I've heard that a man can experience this level of pain by passing a large kidney stone. It's obviously not as large as a baby, but relatively speaking, it stretches things to the same painful extremes... or so they say. There's no way to compare, so no one will ever know. Natural childbirth is probably much more painful.

I've always had a high pain threshhold, personally. If I complain at all of discomfort, then you know it really hurts. I remember when my finger was inadvertently slammed in the door of a 1973 Dodge Charger a few years back (a huge car with doors weighing about 150 lbs each), and not making a peep. I just looked at my finger and thought, "Hmm. THAT was unpleasant." The fingernail turned black and fell off... all that good stuff.

Hey 99... if that's a hint that a baby's on the way soon... big congratulations.
