What's the worst?

Question

My husband and I are discussing worst physical part of being a woman (besides all social/political/sexist/violent etc things we also go through). What's the worst out of these 3 things for you?

Answer

My opinion - pregnancy. 
Your body changes and there isnt anything you can do about it. Maybe im vain, but the physical changes are practically irreversible. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Stretchmarks, bigger thighs, no brain power. Loss of abs and stomach flatness. 
Periods - i avoided with the pill (plus they were never anything so bad tht motrin couldnt solve), childbirth was csection and obviously medicated. I also healed well with super minimal scarring.

Answer

Childbirth takes up only about a week or two of your whole life depending how many kids you have and how long your labours are, pregnancy, maybe a few years worth total again depending how many kids you have, how far you get each time etc. Periods, a week, every month, of every year for about 30-40 year's.....for some they're not too bad, still an inconvenience. But I'm sitting here right now cramping painfully, bleeding heavily and would hands down prefer childbirth, at least you get the baby at the end of it :/

Answer

Postpartum especially learning how to breastfeed. I had natural labors completely unmedicated and will still do that any day over the first two weeks or so postpartum

Answer

I feel like pregnancy because it's all sorts of uncomfortable-ness lasting 9 nine months. Labor/childbirth lasted not even 24 hours for me so that's way easier to get through. I also typically only have bad period pains on the first day.

Answer

Personally they all suck, but so does  having PCOS or endometriosis miscarriages or other issues that complicate things as well. Cramps, mood swings, menopause and perimenopause night sweats etc. It all sucks about being a woman. Especially during labor and they split you from crotch to rear. All of it sucks. Tell him to try being raped up the ass with a cactus while having his nuts run over repeatedly with the car and then ask him how does that feel that’s maybe an 1/8th of what we go through.
