    One of my friends posted this on my fb, and DH actually said he'd do it. I was surprised... 

    Now to find one of the machines they used... 
    :D

    I like how the one guy got mad that he couldn't take it and sulled up. His face was priceless.

    I can't imagine that's a good replication of childbirth, but I will say that natural childbirth is probably the most athletically grueling thing I've done. Vaginal childbirth with an epidural, not quite as much, but still - OW!

    Yeah, I don't think so either. I think it's probably a much better representation of period cramps. Just confirms what I always thought, men could never handle going through what we go through.

    @gingersnap & @canadianmama yeah, I wondered if it's a good simulation...but I doubt either of them would have agreed to have those electrodes attached to their junk! LOL

    For me, labor cramps were less intense than period cramps until the baby crowned. Intense, fetal-position bowel cramps are closer to first-day period cramps for me. I think my periods may have caused the rift in my relationship with a higher power for years.

    I heard about this on the tv yesterday.  Sounds hilarious.

    Yeah um and then there's the 9 months BEFORE that, having to pee all the time, not being able to see your toes....then the ring of fire, pushing......nothing hooked on their genitals. Wusses.

    I was drugged up for DD but had a homebirth for DS. I had "leg labor" so it hurt like heck in my legs instead of my belly. There was only one moment where I thought "I can't do this" but labor was 4 hrs so although it was intense, my gall bladder surgery hurt WAY worse!

    I dont believe it. They get intestinal flu and think they are dying. We get the same symptoms every month. A little taste of our regular lives are not the same. No, I have never had a kidney stone, but I grew a nine pound human being and managed to push it out with no drugs.....if I guy grows a nine pound melon and shits it out with no drugs...ok...hes experienced it. Oh....and then it sucks on his nips for a year....and he gets calluses on his nips that dont go away until the melon is in second grade. And when he has a hard time holding his poop in, a doctor tells him its all in his head...
