Natural Torture Birth

Today I watched a television show in which a woman gave "natural" childbirth.

It looked, really painful, but I say if you are stupid enough to choose to have a baby without pain relief of some sort you are deserving of the torture.

Granted, I hate any type of physical or emotional pain and will do almost anything to avoid either, thus I am certainly not the arbiter of those events in life which are painful- as I am completely repelled by the mere concept of discomfort.

None of my shirts or underwear have tags as I find the feeling of a tag on my back intolerable.

I only own sensible shoes. Shoes are intricate to my comfort. Protection of my feet against any potential injury is nothing short of a absolute requirement.

Gioconda has told me she understands the desire to experience a natural child birth. Really?

I think you have to be bat shit crazy to even attempt to push a bowling bowl through that particular opening in the first place. I can't understand why anyone ever agrees to have a baby even with an epidural.

Luckily for me, my mother and Gioconda didn't feel this way, but if I had to HAVE my babies it would never have happened. I love them more than anything in the world and still there is no possible way I could have endured an hour of pregnancy.

I don't think anything should be taken out or put into my body without an adequate amount of pain killers, and maybe even a margarita chaser.

Sometimes I will take a prophylactic Advil in the morning just to nip any potential head aches in the bud.
