    The woman who birthed my child didn’t remember anything of the actual process, the pain is so bad the brain just kinda blocks it out after the fact apparently. I’ve read this is fairly common. One thing I do remember is how bad my hand hurt after all that squeezing, I needed like a whole two ibuprofen to fix it, talk about killer.

      I believe it’s a hormone thing because otherwise nobody would have a second kid. Apparently the hormones kick in and make you forget the pain while also giving you a big hit of dopamine so that you connect having a kid to being happy.
