I was in labor for 21 hours and can attest that it was worse than getting hit by a car. However, the thing to keep in mind here is that gettong hit took an instant and the recovery was like a week so OF COURSE giving birth for 21 hours and the 6 week recovery was worse.
Therefore, i have no idea how someone can logically try to compare what is, at most, a day long experience (and usually far less than that) + a few weeks recovery with YEARS ongoing chronic pain.
Like… that would be like me trying to have a 1up contest with you over my TEMPORARY 9 month long dietary restrictions when i kbow your diet is far more restrictive than mine, varies greatly depending on what your body does that month, and has been happening for years.
Like, yes, carrying and birthing a child is painful, but it’s TEMPORARY and you get a baby out of it. How can anyone with an ounce of awareness and empathy seriously compare that with a chronic illness and go “yes, this is the time to wave around my mommy credentials!”??? Like…!?!?
