@dailymailuk: Turns out childbirth really is one of the most painful experiences the human body can go through 🤯 A study published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia found that women rated unmedicated labour pain at an average of 7–8 out of 10, with some describing it as a 10. Researchers said the pain has been compared to breaking 20–30 bones at the same time without anaesthetic, based on patient reports and medical data. A reminder that every birth experience is different – and why access to effective pain relief and maternity care is so important ❤️
