This is half the problem.......
I'm guessing I'm going to make some more enemies here and this reply not specifically directed at the poster, but .....Let's face it, men don't give birth...women do.
Using a bowling ball and sphincter as an analogy is just plain wrong. You poo out your arse it's designed for it, generally poo is much smaller than a human infant. Vagina and associated canal is specifically for childbirth.
It's a process that has been going on for millions of years.
In order for women to get on with their lives, (as they have done for millions of years) men need to stop all this sooking and feeling sorry for them ,love them , yes, but this constant pandering just because they are carrying a child is crap. Now, I'm not suggesting that your own child is anything less than your whole world, but girls, get a grip. Yes you may be pregnant, yes it is most likely uncomfortable, more often than not , it was your choice to exercise your right to try and make another one of you, the rest of the world need not suffer just because you're a bit hormonal right now.
I don't know the figures, but there would be hundreds of thousands of women giving birth every day, a large proportion of which, would do so without medical assistance, and certainly wouldn't have some poor bastard by their side catering to their every whine and whim.
All I am trying to say is "girls, you have it pretty good compared to most, stop treating your men as if they owe you just because you did something that comes naturally". Just be the best mother you can be, let him be the best father he can be.
For the record, I have 4 kids, 1 emergency C section, 2 planned C section (1 epidural, yes was present while they sliced my wife and pulled out kid), and 1 natural, I was there for all of them, and also am guilty of all of the sins of the above rant,that's why I speak out now.
Now I'll just wait for the acid replies.
