Why do we always need the answers?

I can honestly that the pain in childbirth is nothing mental and completely physical.
I went into it quite positive and stupidly thought the drugs would numb me well enough to get through it..I also have quite a good pain threshold.Consciously you went into it positively, but you cannot control your subconscious. It controls every action in your body that you don’t have to think about. From turning your food into hair and fingernails to controlling and assigning pain appropriately.
Now, your subconscious has heard time and time again that childbirth is the most painful experience a woman can have. After around three times hearing this, it will assimilate this information as total truth and will adjust pain levels according to what it believes to be the truth.
Near enough every animal other than us that gives live birth or lays eggs experiences very little pain.
Remember that childbirth is something that has become specialised over hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution and millions of years of mammalian evolution. Your parts are specially designed to do what they do.
I’m not saying that the pain that you experienced was any less real because it was all in your head. All pain is all in your head and the levels can be adjusted quite easily. I have watched a video of a woman having Transvaginal Tape Bladder Sling Surgery while being hypno-aneisthatised by Terrence Watts (the hypnotherapist that trained me). There was also a hypno-birthing course that I could have taken but didn’t (for obvious reasons).

The pain was so bad I couldn’t hear what people were saying to me…I was delirious.
I have met and spoken to people at tattoo conventions that have had large branding pieces (as I am rather interested in having this myself). Most of the people that I have spoken to have said that the pain is so intense that after about twenty minutes they break through the pain barrier into a state of ectasy. This state perpetuates throughout the entire procedure and lingers for some time afterwards (of course eventually this state wears off and apparently the after-pain is also somewhat significant, which I guess you can imagine if you have ever burnt yourself rather badly).
A dude I spoke to had a rather large phoenix which he’d had branded accross his chest and down the front of his torso, which he’d had done in one sitting! Ouch!

Is that rhetorical or do you want an actual answer?:wink:
May 25, 2013 at 8:54 pm #1273339Well I found my answer:
human brains have evolved to be large in relation to body size, while women’s pelvises haven’t really kept up in the size stakes. The average human baby is about six per cent the mass of its mother, which is unusually heavy. This means that it’s much tougher to get a human baby’s head out of a human female’s body. The big question for scientists is*why. It doesn’t make sense that we women wouldn’t have evolved pelvises that could match up to the task of childbirth, as other mammals seem to have done.Rosenberg’s explanation is that we haven’t needed to evolve these features because we give birth socially. Every country shares the same tradition of never expecting a woman to give birth alone… there are always people to help, which lowers the risks to both the mother and the child. This social adaptation has effectively counteracted the need for us to evolve larger pelvises. If her hypothesis is right, it’s a beautiful example of culture changing the outcome of the evolutionary process. And it’s a reminder that it doesn’t just take a village to raise a child, but also to bring one into the world.
May 25, 2013 at 9:01 pm #1273340Throughout human evolution we have always asisted one another in childbirth, this means our pelvisis have not adjusted as well as other mammels in dealing with labour.
So that with the addition of our pain threshold aint pretty 🙁May 25, 2013 at 9:09 pm #1273341@Chrispydelic 547246 wrote:

I never knew tattoos could be that painfull. I just assumed how ever long it was the pain just stayed the same all the way through. Mine was only 3 hours so I wouldnt know really…that and I smoked weed in the chair.

Is there an actual answer? If so then I was going for that lol
May 26, 2013 at 2:52 pm #1273319Actually there are several answers. Basically it comes down to curiousity, but that’s massively oversimplified explanation.

in hebrew, when they talk of belief in god, they say you are either ‘in answer,’ or ‘in question’… i find this an interesting way to look at it
June 14, 2015 at 12:40 am #1273368I’d ask whoever decided to put the pyramid with the large eye on the american dollar bill, what inspired them, and where the history for the idea was from.
