Things that hurt more than childbirth...

Gallstones! Far far worse than childbirth!

Yep def agree with this! Worse pain ever had! Worse than breaking my arm, tearing the ligaments in my ankle and getting my kidney removed! :haha:
 
i can't really think of anything worse to be honest because it just feels sooo different to everything lol!
i would go as far as to say i've had period pain worse... because my contractions were all in my back so i never really felt anything in my pelvis. :shrug:

i have had a chunk of glass stuck in my food and THAT hurt :haha:
 
breaking bones hurt me more than child birth, and from working in the ER- I can almost say 100% that some stones are worse than childbirth. I have seen grown men throw themselves on the floor in agony. I actually had one man try to wrap around my leg, I hate to lol@ him, but damn.
 
Having a perforated stomach ulcer hurt far worse than childbirth.
 
I have to say for me getting a spinal tap hurt worse than labor. I felt like I had been beat with a baseball bat. Kidney stones hurt way more than labor. Some tooth pain hurts more. I have really bad knees and have to get them both replaced and I really think that the pain I live with everyday is 1,000x's worse than labor.
 
My bad leg cramps were worse than childbirth. I'm so afraid of tensing my leg muscles just in case I ever have a leg cramp. I've pretty much forgotten the pain of giving birth but I will never forget the leg cramps.
 
I recently had both a fungal and bacterial infection in my ear and at the time i actually said to OH "I would rather give birth 10 x over than have this pain in my ear" I wanted to rip my own head off to get away from the pain, i was just rocking backwards and forwards on the bed, holding my ear and crying.

I also think being sutured after birth was a million times more painful than the actual labour and birth itself.
 
Ummmm recovering from Childbirth was far more painful for me than actual labour, also severe toothache.

But I don't know if thats because this was prolonged pain, with not knowing when I was going to feel better.

With a labour you know the end is in sight and you are going to get a beautiful baby from all the pain. I think that really helps with the pain threshold. (I only had gas and air.)
 
Gross i kno but having piles "banded" is far worse than labour and birth, That was the worst experience ive ever had and it never even worked!!!! :grr:

Warning ladies ....if your unlucky enough to get piles from pregnancy .... DONT get them banded!!!!!
 
I also say kidney stones. I say it was on par with a back to back labour so I assume it would be worse than 'normal' childbirth.
 
I've had really bad ear infections and i would have rather ripped my ear off. Like another op said i just sat on my bed and rocked and held my ear whilst sobbing uncontrolably.

And, whats worse than labour pains - period pain! Seriously in my teens i would pass out, vomit, get the runs and really really suffered with the most awful period pains ever. When in labour with my DS it felt just like my usual period pains.
 
ovarian cyst rupture was sorse than contractions. im not sure anythign was worse than the epidural running out mid section, BUT that was momentary where as the pain from ym ovarian cyst rupture was months. so maybe the cyst rupture was worse length vs severity lol

having all my crocodile teeth removed is on a par with a section.
 
Getting braces on my teeth was far worse than childbirth. A week of not being able to sleep because of the pain.
 
Take That splitting up :cry:

I agree with this, It's the ONLY thing worse than labour!!!! :haha:

But no, really lol.. I'm guessing the answer to this question would be different for everyone tho, I've had 4 VERY easy labours, I was even having a reletively normal conversation while my last LO was crowning with nothing but water for pain relief, so to me, there are quite a few things that hurt more than MY labours!

I would opt to give birth 5 times in a row over dislocating my knee and having it put back in again!! THAT was pain!!

AHA! Nolan was back to back and stuck for 3 hours, so I will NOT give DH the credit. :winkwink::haha:

I was wondering how ovarian cysts compared. I had a golf ball sized cyst that caused me worlds of pain for months: guts felt like they'd been run over by a truck. It had me involuntarily convulsing & crying at night in bed.

Plus the resulting recovery from the surgery was no picnic either. So I'm wondering how my labor will compare. I'm no stranger to abdominal pain.
