How Painful Can Giving Birth REALLY Be? | Romesh Ranganathan

[@r3gret2079]

"credit where credit's due, she's done a lot of the work there." Lmfao this is why Romesh is easily one of my fav comedians of all time.

[@MoAli-nv9cf]

Very personable and hilarious take on life! I'm not sure if he's totally joking though! lol

[@SehajSingh94]

The Santa Claus joke is fucking majestic 😂😂😂😂😂

I just came here to comment on how I’m not going to touch a joke about child birth from a man. I have a wife, a sister and other female relatives quite capable of killing me in my sleep and disposing of the body.

One of the cheerleaders that used to laugh at me for being chubby now is 300+ pounds with 5 kids from different dads. That is the universal laugh of satisfaction that I can share.

Giving birth is rare in that it only happens an average of 2-3 times for every woman. It's common in that a LOT of women give birth :)

[@Mega1mcdonald]

Did you miss your meds?

[@patmartin9407]

[@Kutopia3999]

After birth = placenta ?

[@barry1369]

Yeah I think so at least 😂

[@meganm1074]

Yes.

[@user-xd6nc6rg7b]

Yes. It can cause infection if any is left behind. I’ve never been presented with one, though, and I have four kids. 😂😂😂

[@hahaha9076]

Love yr humor.

[@mikemike9604]

MAAAAAAATE!

[@FionaIngrid]

You can always take the placenta home and eat it - or bury it in the garden - it's good for rose bushes etc.

[@lenagreen4031]

That's gross!

[@FionaIngrid]

@@lenagreen4031 Not really - some holistic midwives and health practitioners have been encouraging that since the 70’s (which is unsurprising since 99% of other mammals, over 4000 species, eat their placenta). Also research at the University of Florida apparently found that women had an improved mood and increased energy - which American actress, January Jones, (from Mad Men) agreed with - she said it helped her get back to work. Harvard also did a study that demonstrated babies of breastfeeding mums who ingested their placenta benefited and lab tests at the University of Nevada showed that placenta was beneficial because of the concentration of iron. Theres quite a lot of countries, cultures and traditions that advocate eating the placenta - some for spiritual or cultural reasons and others because they see it as tonic or helpful with things like milk productions. I think it’s really interesting - and definitely nothing gross about it.

Some people freeze it because its stem cells for your child with their genetic code. Highly beneficial in case of health problems down the line.

I've heard that women who've had kidney stones and (at a different time) natural childbirth say kidney stones are more painful.

[@littleripper312]

Not more painful just lacking in hormones being released and purpose. When you have a baby there is purpose to the pain. Thats my experience and women will have different experiences with birth and kidney stones of course.

[@carolecavanaugh7209]

I hope I never have kidney stones again. Worst pain I've ever had. I thought I was dying. Worst pains for me 1) kidney stones 2) shingles 3) childbirth

[@Widdekuu91]

Every birth is different, every kidney stone is different. Pain is subjective.

ABSOLUTELY 💯 TRUE....I've had Gall Stones and Kidney Stones and l always say I'd have 10 babies with naturally😫😫

[@lforlight]

It can't be THAT painful, because some women actually want another right after giving birth.

[@laurelbeach4529]

That’s the very nice hormones that help most women bond with their babies and not get PTSD.

[@nunyatd]

A guy peeing out a stone is the best example of a woman giving birth a nurse told one of my friends this didn't make him feel any better 😅

[@blueshoes5145]

Did you think we evolved without our body not coming up with a solution for this issue ? lol it’s called hormones. They are a heck of a thing. It turn literally get our genders changed, gets you depressed, gets you euphoric, helps us bond, helps us sleep, gets us up in the morning, eases pain and gives you superhuman strength during a life and death situations. But like everything else… there are cases where it fails….women develop PTSD, postpartum psychosis, depression and end up killing their child or themselves…. or the least worrisome of it all- they remember much of it and now don’t want a second. Honestly fair enough. And women are planners. They just thought might as well just get it over and done with. Having two kids back to back and thats a job done for a lifetime.

[@littleripper312]

Yes it is that painful actually. Women are just willing to go through the excruciating pain because we want the babies. Everyones experience is different but mine was brutal and traumatic and I ended up not having more, too painful.

[@nadiar.4638]

Brains are amazing things that can block out the most painful experiences, especially if you go through the pain in order to have something you really want

[@Gm9286mg]

I love Romesh and I have a broad sense of humour but we don’t need more invalidation of women’s pain. I’ve had calf cramps that have scared me out of labour. Your sh*t does not even touch the sides and how dare you think it would. As my mother (of 4!) says, “they don’t call it Labour for nothing!” And as far as the afterbirth goes, that is life threatening. After she’s given you children. Maybe expand your imagination and empathy and honour her strength, power, and everything she’s gone through rather than normalising dismissing the female plight. I’d love to see a male comedian that it’s so talented and insightful enough they can make the female perspective funny. Challenge Romesh. And if you can’t do that, at least go home and worship your women for what she’s done. ✌️

[@dawnvalentine74]

It’s called a joke, love.

[@Widdekuu91]

It is called respect, dawn.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Can childbirth really be as painful as a kick in the nuts? _I think not!_ And here are my reasons. 1 - When a baby is born, the mother wants to have another kid. Maybe in a years time or so. 2 - When I've been kicked in the nuts, probably from when I was playing football. Even 40 years later, there is absolutely no way I'd ever want to be kicked in the nuts again. It's that painful. And I never got any maternity/paternity/nuternity(?) leave afterwards 8-))... _I rest my case._

[@swordzanderson5352]

yeah, it is definitely logical that a nervous pain is more painful than a literal mass rupture of multiple of a female's most sensitive organs that leads to mass bleeding, extreme exhaustion and lingering symptoms over days or even weeks. I get that it may very well be a joke, but just for those who unironically think a nut kick is worse, because that's just stupid, and there are a LOT of stupid people out there.

You never get a bloke saying, a couple of years after the event, saying “ that wasn’t so bad I think I will have another one of those” after having experienced one kick in the testicles.

[@Widdekuu91]

That is an old one. If you had to be kicked in the balls in order to bring life into the world, you would do it. Not to mention, many men pay to get kicked in the nuts by women. And many men that get kicked in the nurs, do not tear and bleed up to their asshole.

[@littleripper312]

​@@DonoVideoProductionsI could see some women not finding his disgust with the afterbirth very funny. It's hurtful to think of a man finding something about us disgusting. I personally get that its a joke and laughed but I get other women feeling it wasnt very funny.

[@DonoVideoProductions]

@@littleripper312 Well, to be fair, many things that come out of the human body are disgusting, both for men and for women. It's coded in our DNA, so our ancient forebears had a better chance of survival. The rest of the animal kingdom might eat afterbirth, but we shouldn't, so we have a natural recoil response. When we go against our nature, it is often funny, if we choose to think about it without prejudice. We have the same recoil response to poo, and other issue from our bodies, and coincidentally, commentary about those products are found funny by many as well. Different strokes for different folks, I'm sure.

[@victoriakennedy4811]

you have not had your body distorted and pushed out for nine months and then have to get something the size of a watermelon out of a small hole that gradually and slowly I might add opens to gradually let that watermelon baby out of your body. It is very painful and your body is never the same after you go through it - also you can have sex forced on you and you have to go through it all over again and be in pain and go through 9 months of insane lack of sleep, peeing, putting up with the movements of a child through this time and then push it out again in a short period of time. Drugs, epidural which could result in not being able to walk if you move during the epidural. It is very emotionally draining also. Something men don't realise.
