Is it true boys hurt more than girls?

Question

Everyone tells me that labor is more painful when you're having a boy. I have 2 girls and they were both smooth deliveries I think. I don't take any medication or epidural I prefer the natural way. But I'm freaking out the closer my due date gets near!! Can anyone tell me by experience if this is true??

Answer

There's no such thing as the sex of a baby being "better or worse" lol people make up the most ridiculous things.

Congratulations on having a baby boy.... they are so much fun!

Answer

Yes, I hear that sometimes baby boys chew their way out. 😂 I'm totally kidding, of course. I've never heard of one sex or the other hurting more, I'm sure it's just something someone made up. People come up with crazy stuff!

Answer

My mom laughed through labor with my brother even when his feet were starting to come out... And well she was in labor with me for 5 minutes and wanted it over... But honestly it's just the difference in pregnancy it does not relate to gender at all.

Answer

I doubt it. I'm sure it will be the same as girls Hun

Answer

Yea, I call bull crap on this one. If this labor and delivery with the boy is hardest on you, that's probably just coincidence. It's like the old wives tales that people swear by, the majority of them pointed to me having a boy for my first pregnancy, yea it was correct but it was so wrong for my second pregnancy. I was also told that since my pregnancies have been 99% different that I was having a girl this time, because you know "the symptoms are different based off the gender" bullcrap again. I'm having a boy this time too.

If your first two labors were smooth sailing then maybe this one will be for you too.

Answer

Depends on the person I think I had a boy and was laughing though most of labour (found it funny I was wetting the bed due to my waters)

Answer

I've had two boys and labor wasn't hard at all. I didn't even know that I was really in labor with my first lol and got induced with second so it made contractions worse but wasn't bad, first girl now and hoping she will be easy

Answer

No. Not true! My 1st was a 4lbs girl & 2nd 8lb boy but after that no real difference in weight or pain for gender.

Answer

I wouldn't say gender matters at all aha my son was almost 9 lbs and I got one stitch and my sisters was 7-6 lbs and they had to cut her it all depends on your inner pelvis

Answer

No that is aloud of rubbish I already have 2 boys 6 and 2 hours labour no pain relief yes it hurts but my pain is really good
