I have an extremely high pain threshold. For broken bones, muscle pain, etc. Believe me - I have broken bones and went on with my life for weeks before figuring it out.

But when it came to placing my IUD, I almost fainted. Never felt something so bad in my life.

When thinking about giving birth, I worry a lot. Is the pain going to be 'the kind of pain' of an IUD?

People who suffered on IUD placement and subsequently gave birth vaginally, I am really curious to hear your perspectives.

Also, Note I am not asking about amount. I am sure giving birth is a different order of magnitude compared to IUD.
