A senior male midwife has advocated that women should not have epidurals because he thinks experiencing pain helps you be a 'better mother' .
For a start of....what a nerve...he might be there when women are giving birth but he can't know what it feels like. Watching Wimbledon doesn't make you into a tennis player.
I also think each woman experiences childbirth in their own way. I never even got offered an epidural 30 odd years ago when I had my babies...but though I love my children I can't say I got much mileage from EXPERIENCING PAIN...
Men...what do they know?
