Yeah effing right.

Maybe Im doing it wrong, but that is pretty out in left field for me.
If I didnt know better I would have thought a man came up with the idea.

that's what I'm thinking. The only time I could have even veered into a feeling of ecstasy was when they gave me my stadol. lol

I think it can happen.

At very least, birth doesn't have to be the screaming "OMG, kill me plz" scenario you see on TV and hear about from family/friends. My daughters labor/birth was very peaceful and I alos had an unassisted childbirth- I think a large part of my positive experience is derived from the lack of interference from anyone.

I guess it can happen, but I'm too pessimistic to see that it ever could happen. I would think you'd really have to be in tune with your body and completely not let anyone get involved or disturb you.

All I can remember is sitting in the recovery room after my section and hearing the woman screaming for it to be over. That is the first thing I remember hearing after my c-section. So because of that, I don't think birth can be peaceful or orgasmic. I know she's not every woman, but hearing that proved to me that birth can be dramatic and VERY painful.

So because of that you think EVERY SINGLE WOMAN AND BIRTH IS THE SAME? Just because some women scream doesn't mean it happens to every single woman or birth. I never screamed or wanted it to be over. One of the many reasons birth has become so feared and considered painful is because of hospital interventions which is probably why it hurts even worse. Women who have intervention free births tend to have a more positive experience and many would say "peaceful".

I never said it's not possible, I just don't have the faith nor hope it will ever happen to me.

While my birth wasn't orgasmic, it was very peaceful and enjoyable. I definitely believe it can happen.

There's a small part of me who just snorted reading all that. There's a large part of me who hopes it's true! I had an epidural with my first, but I will not be this time (reaction to the drugs, doing it med-free this time).

I guess I'm a freak, because I love giving birth. It's never been orgasmic--yet haha--but each birth was magical and wonderful to me.

Labor wasn't that bad even though I was induced. Never had any pain medication which is kind of key if you want a good birth experience. Pushing was the best part in my opinion. I barely felt my contractions and no pain with them and the pushing felt pretty good. I think too many women physc themself up for it to be painful when it really isn't THAT bad.

I'm inclined to believe that a lot of it is truly mind power. People tend to forget that the mind is a very powerful thing. If you go into labor and birth fearing that you'll be in major pain, you'll end up convincing yourself of the worst and likely end up feeling a lot of pain and discomfort than if you had a more positive outlook.

I'd like to think the general attitude of the woman laboring has a large effect on how painful it ends up being.

I agree quite a bit. I know that I was scared at first and I started to doubt myself and I found that it hurt so much more when I focused on how bad it was. When I was helped to relax and let it come it didn't seem nearly as bad. Once my mind was off how horrible it was and more on how excited I was to be having my baby. My outlook changed dramatically. I knew I could do it and I did! The last half of my labor and my actual birth was probably the best parts. In fact, I'd even say less painful than the very beginning.

My contractions certainly weren't orgasmic, they were pretty horrible, but pushing him out didn't really hurt and was rather enjoyable. I believe it could be orgasmic if you have the right mindset.
