Did anyone see the 20/20 episode the other night on moms having orgasmic births? It kind of freaked me out. How can a woman have an orgasm during a very painful experience? I really wonder if it is possible. I always thought I had a high tolerance for pain, but I am paranoid of labor pains, and I cannot see anyone really enjoying the pain so much they orgasm from it.

I plan on trying to go natural. I have been reading on accepting the pain and breathing through it, but I have no intention of denying myself an epidural if it really is unbearable. But pain so good you orgasm? Does anyone believe that???

I saw a special on one of the health channels about that. This lady that teaches you what to do explains that if you make out with your dh or so that it will help you...I'm thinking is she nuts!!! That's the last thing that I want to be worrying about!!! She was a preacher of the orgasmic birth and what to do to help achieve it. Personally, I think I will be worried about too much other stuff to even think about pleasing myself at that time!!!!

I saw it and loved the idea!!! I don't know if it is possible for the majority of the society, and I for that matter BUT birth should be a wonderful experience!!! I totally am going into this birth with that mentality. Kmoselle, don't fear the pain, go with your body. Fear causes more pain. You can do it! BTW, second baby, 39 weeks 5 days.

There are people who "get off" on pain. The more pain the better. Not my thing, but hey whatever works for people.

Hmmm...I can't say I would feel right doing that and having all those people in the room. But to each his own I guess

I think the concept is right, I mean it is a magical time, and it is a very special moment for you and your family, especially for you and your partner as you have created this little being that you would never have thought could cause so much love before you really get to meet them. So that part I get, and understand, after I had my daughter I was very happy once I recovered (had a needle for the pain and it sort of wiped me out). I was on a massive high, I am sure every mother feels that, and when you look at it you do but dont really remember all the pain of the childbirth, it becomes nothing compared to this wonderful little being you have.

I don't like pain, and I think alot of women are the same, hence why only a few women reach the "orgasmic birth", personally I don't put much stock in it, when I am hurting I dont want to be hugged and kissed or touched, I would rather scratch out your eyes and give you something to cry along with me about....lol...I am sure alot of hubbies get a massive surprise at how strong their sweet little wives become in the labour room. I was asked to please squeeze the metal bars on the bed cause I nearly crushed his hand and considering his are twice the size of mine, that is sum feat.

I read some of the info on the net about this birthing, and I dont see how having a baby in the hospital can be bad, it is a loving atmosphere that the child is born into due to you and your partner or whoever is your support at the time. You cant tell me that a birth coach who delivers your child at home would care anymore than a doctor or midwife?? I dont think so, they have a job to do like a doctor. And considering that you can take in your own special music to listen to and they encourage you to use massage oils and whatever you feel you need to be comfortable, I think it has changed alot from the sterile environment that it makes out.

What..... we're missing the big thing here!!! Giving birth is beautiful and I would never want to make out with my husband and have an orgasim while giving birth to my children!!!!! What a birth story that would be!!!!
