If, after the pain of the first, they chose to never have birth again, we wouldn't be here. Think of it this way: The species needs women to average

They just remember the joy that comes after it. I did not have pain medication with either of my children and I have kinda forgotten the pain already and my youngest is only 1! Selective memory :)

Only thing I can think of is you block it from your mind for maybe one of two reasons. One the pain was just to horrible to want to remember or two because you really don't want to remember. All you can remember is them handing you your baby and everything else just fading away. Maybe that's why they call it the miracle of child birth....

I had appendicitis that ruptured my appendix at 19 years old and I remember ever blasted minute of that 15 hours of hell. I cannot remember more than a few minutes here and there of the 20 hours of back labor I had. See-survival mechanism-if it wasn't there, I would be making my husband sleep in another room and the human race would die out fast-it's not like men are going to ever be able to take our place!
