The problem that I have with discussions over whether or not child birthing SHOULD be painful or not, is that it then leaves those of us who did experience pain as feeling like we must not have done it RIGHT. Just another reason for us woman to be shamed into not feeling like we've not done the birthing process correctly.
Hurray to ever woman who's gone through the process assisted, unassisted, medically intervened or not. Hurray to every woman who's decided not to go through with the birth of a child, for what ever reason, and hurray for every man who's been supportive of those choices and the woman who made them.
