yoda76POP OUT A BABY….HAVE AN ORGASM
January 31st 2008 00:32
Yes ladies apparently it’s true. When you’re pushing your bundle of joy out of your pink bits, it is possible to have an orgasm. And not just any garden variety kind of orgasm. This will be “one of the most intense orgasms” of your life.
Is there a trick? Well you mustn’t take any pain relief during labour so your body will produce as many little endorphins as it can.
In the February 2008 edition of Practical Parenting midwife and mother of four Sarah James describes that she has had one such orgasm. “After such a birth it is hard not to be in touch with your body”. No kidding.
But the whole no drugs thing….well….I admit that during all three of my labours I asked for the gas way before I really needed it because it had been such a long time since I had that tipsy feeling, I missed it. But had I known about the orgasm….
I suppose I’m not entirely surprised, after all, look at the part of the anatomy we’re dealing with here, but I would have thought that the sheer level of pain would be somewhat of an inhibitor to your body having an orgasm.
I remember at my antenatal classes the midwife told us to not be surprised if we found ourselves aroused when we were breastfeeding. For mine, I never got aroused. It might still be my nipple, and suckling going on, but this is my baby, not my lover.
So have any of you had an orgasm giving birth?

or is it? An orgasm already walks the fine line between pleasure and pain...

I hadn't heard of this but it's very interesting! The body is so strange, yet so sensible sometimes. If you can't have drugs there has to be some payoff. (Apart from the child, of course...

Was it the drugs?
Hi Cibby,
I gotta wonder too.
I also remember being told that straight after birth you are on such a high from the endorphins and that I agree with. It's a real buzz....who needs ecstasy.
Hi Michaelie,
Hi D,
It'd want to be one hell of an orgasm!!!
I think I'd find it all too distracting to be honest.
Can you imagine.
"Here's your new baby!!!"
"Yep, just hold that thought for one sec, I'm just finishing something up here".
Thanks everyone for the visit
Love & stuff

LOL.
I'm telling you, the gas before you really need it is nice. Especially since it had been a long time since I had that drunk feeling and it was going to be a long time before I could get drunk because I was breastfeeding.
Take it when you can....

Comment by JoH
On my part, breastfeeding was almost as painful as giving birth!! The toe-curling pain was enough to make me want to chop my breasts off with a machete!
So, no, nothing remotely arousing to report from my experience!

Whoever designed the female form (God or evolution) must have been drunk. I'm not quite sure why labour has to be so painful and difficult and why breasts hurt and babies don't just naturally know how to latch on. The pain is really not necessary.
Hi Damo,
Aren't you a father of 5?

Absolutely. It would be a nice way to finish off a hellish few hours of labour and pushing.
Yoda,
It might be nice to look at, but when it comes to giving birth....10cm dilation seems to be cutting it fine.
Anonymous,
What's nasty? Giving birth or having an orgasm?
Hi Luke,
What would you charge these women with?
Thanks for the visit everyone

Comment by Joanne Fedler
We make babies by having sex, I can't see why it's so strange that the sexy bits and the birthing bits would get their wires crossed.... as for Luke's comment - jeez, sometimes I wonder about the male brain. Thank the goddess giving birth was assigned to the women. That's all I can say.

Excellent! Someone other than the midwife in the article has had one.
I'd imagine that it would very much be a surprise. Unlike having sex when you can you are quite in tune with the build up to an orgasm.
Don't mind Luke, he likes to stir....

No trouble breastfeeding, either--milk flowed, baby latched, never a moment's trouble.

It's good though isn't it?
Hi Anonymous,
Well you've blown the 'must have no drugs' theory out of the water.
It's a shame you were mortified. But I'd imagine it came as a surprise.
Good to hear you had no problems breastfeeding. It's so nice when things turn out as you hope.

Oooooooohhhhhheeeeeerrrrrrr oh it's another contraction... that put paid to that orgasm, well and truly.... more gas pleeeeeze.... oh that's better, oh and it's out... yes, now that was an orgasm indeed!

I actually know a bit about this pheomenon.
What the hell were you reading at 8 that you learned about this?
Hi Rose,
Drugs are good.....
I didn't get anywhere near having an orgasm. The pain of the actual delivery was quite shocking.

I am not one to throw stones. Very glass house this one....
I had natural childbirth.... not one of my most shining moments. I am "banned' from ever having a baby at the local Catholic hospital because during delivery ...standing up while the doctor has forceps in my "lady region" trying to turn my son... (yep just try to picture that)...in a teaching hospital with interns watching, one of the nurse/nun/ interns tried to tell me how I was giving birth for the Lord and that a woman's ability to have children was a blessing. I quickly used the Lord's name in vain ...loudly... and announced .....how the f**k did she know what the Lord wanted when a woman gave birth b/c she had never even had sex.... and that being married to the Lord was a load of crap.... What kind of husband would the Lord actually be.... (Very Sarah Silverman)
My mother made me write a letter to everyone involved apologizing for my rudeness. She was there and watched the whole thing. (I did by the way do this)
I have used the Lord's name for the other though ;0)
I am sure he understands and am hoping he has a sense of humor.

Would you have a chip implanted in your brain?
Hi Mis,
How funny are you?
A friend told me that when she went into labour and got to the hospital the midwife told her "leave your dignity at the door dear, you can pick it back up on the way out".
I am sure he understands and am hoping he has a sense of humor.

No, no, no orgasmic relief afterwards for me my dear, unfortunately. Something went horribly wrong at the last minute (bub's shoulder got stuck), and thanks to a totally inept doctor - who stuffed things up so badly trying to cut my daughter out - well, let's just say that nine operations later, one court case and twelve years on ... that may well have been the last time I had sex in this lifetime, anyway .. a nice reminder of my last big baby-popping orgasm. *sigh*
Such is life and as Krishna would say; it is better to find the blessing in the situation than to curse the course we are on.
Very true in may case and I have no regrets, however, I don;t dwell on where I have ended up as it doesn;t help me get through the day(s).

No, that all doesn't sound conducive for an orgasm.
I believe in fate. It keeps me sane otherwise you do spend your life asking "why me?"
There must be a reason for the things that happen to us, and that reason can only be a good one, otherwise life would seem unfair and that's no way to think.
You're quite the inspiration Lilla. You always seem to have positive energy around you.

I was reading somewhere that women have more sexual dysfunction because they have less nerve endings down there - designed that way so you can, actually, give birth. without dying.
But Im not sure its true....And I dont think I'll be trying this one....From 'Northern Exposure' ...."Where the hell is my epidural?!"
Comment by SungaiKecil
It was freaking fantastic.
I had no analgesics or anaesthesia in labour, and he was born in the caul under water.
I totally think it's something all women are capable of in the right conditions.
Comment by Mrs M
Mum's Word
Period pain definitely a preview. I used to get really bad pains. The pains don't seem so bad anymore, having gone through labour but still....
As for the epidural, the thought of a big fat needle going into my back......I can't handle having a blood test
Hi SungaiKecil
That's brilliant. It's such a fascinating thing. Thanks for commenting.

Why is it that when you announce that you're pregnant it seems that everyone starts to tell you birth horror stories!?
Comment by Mrs M
Mum's Word
I agree that if you relax...as much as possible...then the pain does seem to lessen. But it is damn hard work.
I'm not in favour of horror stories but I don't shy away from the truth. So I don't skip on messy details because I was quite shocked at how messy labour can get because no-one told me.
Thanks for the comment.
