That's the implication in Genesis.
The angel said to Eve that since she messed up, she would have to "give birth in pain."
That might mean that if she hadn't done it, women might give birth w/o pain. Or it might mean that whoever instigated the apple-thing from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, had to have the punishment of laborious childbirth.
Acourse trying to figure out how a man, with a man's physiology, would gestate and give birth is another whole can o' worms....

No. Adam was created first and God took a rib from Adam and created Eve. If Adam was the first to eat the apple, it would not change his body, so he could bear children! their punisment for eating the apple was to be banished from the garden of eden.

Unfortunately, we are limited to what the bible say, not some other revelation.
Eve ate from the tree of good and evil, not apple.
Genesis 3:To the woman he said,
"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."
Please note the word "increase".
Answer: No. Eve role included giving birth before she ate fruit from the tree.

Very interesting but I don't think so. Cuz all other animals out there, not just humans, females give birth and they didn't have to eat the apple right?

Well, women were always going to be the ones to give birth. It just wasn't originally painful or complicated.

Probably not-- I believe it was already decided that women would be the ones who went through labor. I just think it was supposed to be without pain-- Until Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

Adam birthed Eve through a Divine C-section. Best part was God was the anesthesiologist!!!

No, because Eve came out of man and only women are able to give birth.

No, because men are puss*es and couldn't deal with pregnancy and birth!

Yes... and considering the anatomy problem, it would probably be a lot more painful and difficult.
