Which hurts worse?

Question

My husband and I were trying figure out which hurts worse, having a baby, or breaking a bone. He's only ever broken a bone (obviously lol) and I've only ever had a baby so it's hard to compare with something you've never experienced! For those of you who have been through both which was worse?? Please vote poll if you have only experienced one or the other or neither. Thanks for voting!!

Answer

So I would say labor! Lol

Answer

Personally having my tooth pulled hurt me more then delivering either if my kids.

Answer

I've had a broken foot this entire pregnancy& had to get a surgery without being put under- just local analgesia. When that wore off I couldn't take painkiller bc of baby- the pain was so intense I almost puked a few times. I figured if I could survive that, then childbirth should be a breeze ;)

Answer

I imagine there's a certain subjectivity. There's enough studies of pain to know that people experience it differently. Why does it matter? One person's broken leg doesn't make some one else's labor hurt any less.

Answer

Labor. I broke both wrists at the same time, my right elbow and several bones in both hands. The pain was actually minimal. I think sprains hurt worse. Labor certainly hurt much worse.

Answer

It's a different kind of pain.

Answer

Labor, not pregnancy.

Answer

Labor. I have broken my collar bone, and yes it hurt like a mofo, but labor.... Is the absolute worst. Though you do only have a short amount of pain compared to a month of pain with a broken bone.
