how can i show my partner how painful natural childbirth is.?
Byhe completely dismisses the fact that my sister went through complete agony to birth my nephew and insists its all just a lot of shouting about nothing. sometimes i want to put a squeeze on his testicles until his eyes water, to simulate the contractions. is this how you’d make them understand?

I think that is virtually impossible.
ooh I know get a chicken and try to stuff let’s say a softball or something that would resemble a baby coming out of that tiny opening. Spread the chickens legs apart so far until u here the cracking noise of the bones breaking because in essence that’s really what’s going on. Ur bones are seperating and some women actually hear it and try to stuff the object in the chicken then pull it out. See if that visual helps.
FYI I’ve never given birth and when the time comes I plan to do it naturally, if I can stand it hehe.
or u could tell him to stick a q-tip in his penis and have him imagine a whole body coming through. I hear the q-tip in the penis hurts very badly.

shove a watermelon up his butt and then ask him to hold it in their for 9 months and then sh*t it back out.

if he doesn’t understand, then he probably never will. sounds like he’s pretty much a jerk to me anyway.

Tell him to try and poop out an extremely large watermelon from his thing or his butt. That is what it feels like…sometimes men can really be DUMB.

have him swallow a whole watermellon…and then have him poop it out
that should help
MEN

lay his penis on the table and smash it with a hammer

Tell him that childbirth is natural. the agony in birth is represented by the pain and fights you will have in the next 18 years. but after it all, you get an adorable child and loving memories.
Or you could take a whole watermelon push it up his big fat rear, and tell him to go take a crap on the crapper and try to get it out. lol.

There really isn’t anything out there to make them understand. The only men I know that truly understand are the ones that have passed a kidney stone.

I think it would just piss him off.
I think the best way to show him is when you have a child he be there with you too see it all or maybe watch a baby story of some kind that shows birth. But at this age you would think that he would understand that it has to hurt COME ON a watermelon coming out of a orange hole.
IF only men could have babies!!!!

Give natural birth in front of him, and scream as loud as you can. Then, after you belch out the placenta, rub it all over his face. Next time around, he will have you so drugged you won’t even know your own name.

I don’t think you can show them, but tell to imaging what it would feel like if a baby had to come thru his penis to come into the world if the thinks that would be shouting about nothing…

Some men are simply insensitive SOB’s and aren’t fit to be in the birthing room. These types of men should also consider going into an engineering field because they have NO sympathy or empathy for what women feel (physical OR emotional!).
There is NO way to bring across the type of pain that a woman goes through with labor. Luckily, there are a vast array of drugs and techniques today that can help to minimize labor pains.
If you absolutely MUST get across to him the gravity of labor pains, then offer to kick him in the nuts a few times over a 30-minute period, then while he’s on the ground writhing in pain, you can also just drop your full weight onto his stomach. That would get the message across, but it would also almost entirely ensure a divorce decree. I would recommend that your partner go through some parenting or pre-parenting classes (so that he can learn the difference between fabrication of pain and the real thing).
Or you can demand that he not be present at the birth – whether or not you opt for pain-control options (hospitals & doctors are required by law to restrict whomever the mother wants in her birthing room).

Are you also pregnant? If so make him be in the room with you and when you are in labor grab his balls and squeeze as hard as you can. When he screams tell him the pain he is feeling is NOTHING compared to what you are going through.

I have personally witnessed both of my daughters births! Wow! There was indeed a lot of screaming, moaning and even a few expletives tossed at me! So while it was very enlightening to see how painful it can be, I will never know for sure because I can never walk in those shoes….and nor do I want to!
I have heard it would be like a guy passing an egg…and that sounds miserable!
Sure you could stick a porcupine up his a**, while squeezing a vise grips on his nipples, but that would be about as close as you could get.

OUTCH! a guy will never understand what its like to bear a child, but squeezing his testicles would be very painful, and probaly cause him not to have any children of his own.

Take a bat…slam him in the kidneys with it…then take it and slam it in his belly…then try to shove it in his penis…he will probably try to resist, so i suggest you get your sister to help…when you are done, leave him because he’s a looser

About the only thing men go through that is close is kidney stones. If he hasn’t had them, then you are SOL. If he has, then explain that they are close in pain level, according to several women I know who have had both. Unless you wanted to put his testicles in a vice grip for 20+ hours, it wouldn’t be the same thing, but it sure might make you feel better!
Try calmly sitting down with him and explaining that your body is getting ready to squeeze a watermelon out a hole normally the size of a grape. A woman’s skin is ten times thinner that a man’s, so we feel things, pain, heat, whatever, ten times more than a man to get us ready for the experience of having babies. Hence why women are commonly believed to have a threshold of pain ten times higher than a man’s. If he still thinks that labor and childbirth are painless even after you have a talk with him, then by all means, get the vice grips!

well I would take him and show him a video on childbirth so he actually knows how much a women goes through in during the last stage of labour as it really hurts us women so much but after a while we forget how much pain we go through when we deliver them and we do it all again .
February 11th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
I’m going to guess that he’s probably a bit immature, but I really don’t think there’s any physical way you can get him to understand what childbirth is like.
That’s the thing…men don’t get to experience pregnancy and childbirth. That’s what makes women special. Sure, men can create life, but they don’t get the joy of carrying the child, feeling the kicks, and bringing the baby into the world. Since formula feeding is now readily available, men can feed babies, but they don’t have the ability to use their body to feed a baby like a woman can.
All this is exclusive to women and men will never know what it’s like. Maybe he’s feeling a little jealous because he’ll never experience the feeling so he downplays it to “a lot of shouting about nothing”. But you wait, one day when he’s about to be a father and he sees the woman carrying his child in pain, he’ll be in pain too. It’s never fun to see the one you love in agony.
He’ll learn eventually, but for now, just smile, nod, and agree with him because there’s really no purpose to fighting about it.

men will never understand the pain we endure i know that watchng me go thru it scared the s— out of my b/f
