What hurts more, Crohn's disease or giving birth?

I've had the answer for a Caesarian birth (Crohn's disease) but never found a girl who gave birth naturally that also experienced the pain of Crohn's disease. So my question is regarding natural birth.

Having had crohn's disease for 15+ yrs & given birth to 2 boys naturally both over 8 lbs., I will honestly tell you that my Crohn's hurt way worse than giving birth (I had a complete obstruction), with birth you feel pain for a short duration of time 1-2 days, with Crohn's it can be painful for years at a time, plus you don't hardly remember the pain of childbirth, yes you can get better pain killers with your crohn's verses birth but the Crohn's pain is often very reoccuring. Good Luck!

I don't know but Crohn's Disease hurts pretty bad... I guess I'll have to wait until I have a baby to tell you!

i think that would be completely subjective. everyone has a different pain tolerance. some women say that childbirth isnt too bad, but may scream when they sprain their ankle, while other women may think childbirth is the worst experience ever and not bat an eye at a broken bone. so i think it depends on the person, their pain tolerance, and how they deal with pain.
