for giving birth some day!… also, I am kidding.

I think I partly understand how much it hurts to have contractions and to give birth.. but I really don’t think you understand it fully until you have tried it yourself.
I think that especially men don’t understand it at all – and they very often think, that it “can’t be that bad” and that “women are probably just overreacting” as well.. (of course I don’t think all men are like that – there are probably some sweethearts out there somewhere.. I really don’t want to generalize too much, so I’m sorry if someone feels hit by what I’m writing).
Well, they should all experience how much it really hurts before they would even be allowed to say anything about it, I think.

Here is a video of two dutch hosts who went to figure out how much it really does hurt to get these contractions.. Enjoy :)

Ps. they speak dutch in the video too, so if you don’t understand dutch (like me) you can just press that little button in the bottom, that says “cc” on it and then you will get english subtitles. And apparently you need to click on the link in the top of the video first, which will take you to the original video on youtube, in order to do as I just explained^^ ..lame, I know.
