For many women, childbirth is the most memorable experience of their lives, and the pain of tearing their hearts and lungs is not something that ordinary people can endure, but for the sake of the baby who is about to die, they have nothing to fear, and even lose half a life without flinching.
How hard is the process of giving birth to a woman? How much does it hurt? It may be difficult to describe in any language, but only by experiencing it yourself can you truly appreciate it.
In order to allow fathers to experience the pain of their mothers during childbirth, a "labor pain device for childbirth" was introduced, which allows fathers to experience it for themselves.
And in the process of experiencing, dads are unbearable in the face of constant intense pain. The highest level of pain is 10, but dads basically can't stand it until level 5!
Compared with humans, the childbirth process in the animal kingdom is very easy, why is this so? Why is the process of childbirth so painful and difficult for human women?
If you grew up in the countryside and raised domestic animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep at home, you may find that the process of giving birth to female animals seems easy and does not even require human help.
I have been living in the countryside before going to college, and there are many pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock in the village, and I have seen the whole process of pig, cattle and sheep childbirth, I feel very relaxed, and I will be born in a moment.
And other animals, such as cats, dogs, rabbits, etc., can give birth to several, or even a dozen, but even so, the delivery process is not difficult.
Another point is that after giving birth, animals do not need to rest for a long time, and they should do something soon, and they will not take a few days off deliberately because of childbirth.
On the contrary, the human birth process is much more complicated, and some women are afraid of not being able to bear the pain and voluntarily request a caesarean section. Even for women who have a normal birth, many need to "open ten fingers".
The process of childbirth is also relatively long, often taking hours or even longer, and the continuous contractions in this process make women's pain escalate and are very painful.
Having said all that, why is it so difficult for human women to give birth?
It is mainly related to the narrowing of the female birth canal, and there is also a certain relationship with the brain capacity of the baby.
One of the big differences between humans and other species is walking upright. Walking upright completely freed up human hands, made it easier for humans to make tools, and accelerated the development of human civilization.
But there are two sides to everything, and the same is true for walking upright. Although walking upright has allowed human beings to move toward civilization, it has also changed the structure of human bones.
The originally relatively wide hip bone slowly begins to narrow after walking upright, because the wide hip bone is difficult to maintain balance when walking upright.
After the crotch bone becomes smaller, the woman's birth canal naturally begins to narrow, which means that it will certainly be more difficult to give birth.
At the same time, after humans walk upright, brain volume begins to grow rapidly, and childbirth becomes relatively difficult when the width of the birth canal is unchanged. Now that the birth canal has narrowed, childbirth has become more difficult.
In fact, childbirth is not only a big challenge for women, but also a big challenge for babies.
Fortunately, in the long process of evolution, humans have also evolved a function to adapt to the narrowing birth canal: delayed healing of bone sutures.
There is a gap between the skulls of the baby's brain, which is the "fontanelle" as the saying goes, which gives the baby brain a certain elasticity and can make the baby born more smoothly. Fontanelles usually do not begin to heal completely until the baby is 2 years old.
With the development of human technology, painless childbirth, caesarean section has become the choice of more and more women when giving birth, and these two technologies are becoming more and more mature.
However, for many women on the mainland, natural childbirth (vaginal delivery) is still the first choice and the first choice. In our concept, the child born smoothly is the best.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to have a smooth delivery, but in fact, whether it is a caesarean section or a painless delivery, the technology is already very mature. Some people think that these two ways may cause damage to the baby's body, but in fact this is a misconception, the anesthetic does not flow through the bloodstream, and has almost no effect on the baby.
In any case, either way of giving birth is a big test for women. Therefore, male friends, be sure to be kind to your lover!
