Yeah I don’t know why people believe this. The pressure at the very end is quite similar to pooping. But the experience *is not at all the same*. I mean, let’s just examine the difference between what’s being pushed out; a soft substance that can conform exactly to the contours of the final exit location, verses a 6-10 pound body of hard bone and organs that has to be kept perfectly intact and alive through the entire process. Yes, a baby’s skull can shift a little bit, but only a little bit. And it takes your body nine fucking months of serious hormones to soften your pelvis enough to make this possible. Not comparable at all.
