So I was watching a show on Giving Birth.. and I must admit, pushing a baby does NOT look hard at all. Maybe the fact that it's women doing the pushing, and men are naturally stronger and could do it quicker?

Ha! Next time you are taking a great big poop that seems too big to come out, and are sweating and pushing while sitting on the toilet being a little whiney baby, remember 2 things.

A baby is like 100X that size , and you are acting like a baby with just a little poop...Just imagin having to force a 7-10lb huge peice of crap out of your butthole.

And also we have to push on our back...Imagine how it would feel to poop out something that big while on your back.

You are really ignorant, and have an ego problem. My guess is that you posted this question to strike a nerve in woment that have given birth. Becuase you have nothing better to do with your life. Therefore, you are a loser, and hopefully (well most likely) you are not in a relationship.

I hope that no woman would have to put up with with an undeserving egotistamic little whiney brat like you.

With such an ungrateful attitude like yours, you dont deserve to have a child brought into this world, get a vasectomy. Women are stronger than men, in so many ways.

Men are stronger yes, but maybe that isn't what's good for the baby? Women are made to be vessels for a baby, so I assume we were made this way because it is best for child-bearing. Men are naturally stronger due to testosterone. Babies need progesterone and estrogen to grow. Therefore either those male muscles wouldn't be as 'naturally strong' to push or the baby wouldn't survive gestation.

But I don't think pushing is the real issue. The pelvis has to soften and reposition itself. Nothing is where it is supposed to be. A friend described it as feeling as if she were being torn apart. Not exactly a comfortable sounding situation.

Sort of like when you have to deal with severe constipation (I'm guessing everyone has experienced this at least once- its one of the most common reasons why children go to the hospital!) The pushing isn't hard, it's dealing with the pain of of something that just won't move when it's supposed to. If straining to pass stool can cause hemorrhoids and anal fissures, just imagine what can happen when trying to pass something that weighs 6-8 pounds and is 20 inches long (not to mention the shoulder width)! Talk about fissures! Ouch! See, that's the painful part. Add to that the fact that it takes hours for a baby to move into position. You know, the terrible cramping labor pains designed to push the baby down, but the time it actually gets there and is ready to be born, a woman is extremely tired and worn out.

To bad we can't change the way things are and let you have a go at it. I would certainly trade my husband if we could! (I try to talk him into having an embryo emplanted in his abdominal wall, but he won't hear of it! He can have a C-section, I wouldn't mind)

I must say that is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard. A man thinking that he could survive childbirth, when every man I have ever known instantly turns into a baby when they get a cold! The act of pushing out the baby isn't the hard part. It's being sick for 10 months (yes 10, women are not pregnant for 9), and the contractions are excruciating! That is why we are screaming! Not to mention the fact that if the baby's head is a little big, there is the tearing.... Men, just feel lucky...

You are absolutely right, it is not hard for a man to push a baby at all. After the woman does the birthing, and goes through the pain , frustration and hardship, there is no reason a man can't use his superior strength to push that baby around in its jogging stroller for all day long cardio if he wants. Babies are the right size to practice curls, too- handy to develop those biceps while changing diapers while mom recuperates and does the feedings. Picking up toys will keep the mans gut toned and back flexible. they make backpacks for babies, add a little resistance training to vacuuming using all that natural ability.

I tell you what - if you ever grow up and mature enough that a woman will give you a second glance and then God forbid marry you, and the two of you should have a baby, why don't you make this little arrangement with her:

First, as the contractions start, she will hold your hand and squeeze it in proportion to the painfulness of the contractions.

Later in labor, as the contractions get more painful, she will hold your genitals and squeeze them in proportion to the pain.

Are you up for it, Big Boy?

Oh, you do not know how badly I want to watch you push a melon out your a** right now. Imagine having the most intense pain you have ever had, only constantly, for hours on end, then when you are exhausted f/ that, then imagine trying to come up w/ the strength to push an item larger than your ego through the smallest hole on your body. Then imagine all of womenhood enjoying it.

Put it this way. A women giving birth is the equivalent to her bench pressing 375 to 475 pounds . Don't kid your self the uterus is a mighty strong organ, and it has been said the pain of child birth would literally kill the strongest man or come close to it. You are probably not the only man who thinks this way.

Looks are deceiving. It hurts like a *****. Have you ever had a kidney stone? Try pusing that through your urethrea and out your penis. Not fun. That would equate to the pain of childbirth to some extent.
