Thank you for the new to me perspectives. I am a mother of two who had always had painful periods, had 4 miscarriages to make my babies and managed 2 natural homebirths, despite medical resistance. Thanks for making me feel more normal. I understand the pain management struggles. BTW that myth that cramps get better after babies is a complete lie.
this woman is so desperate to be "funny" and her fake laughter that she is totally disrespectful about the guys mother.
