I would not consider having a child anything like going into battle.
Birthing a child is totally involuntary as far as the muscles pushing, you know it's going to come out and you can't stop it, but it is the worst pain I know of. Maybe like having a limb ripped off.
I don't remember a lot of adrenaline, just feeling exhausted.

I'm talkingto a client on the phone about an hour ago and he starts talking about his WWII experiences.
He misses the excitement. The adrenaline rush from the fear heightens his senses and makes him feel more alive than he did in his life before or since.
He makes the following comment which I right down because it strikes me:
"A man that has not gone to battle is like a woman who has not had a child."
War is Hell

Originally posted by Very RustyThe old men who start wars today were the young men who fought the wars in the past. It's never ending.
Have you ever noticed it is always the old men that start the wars, and young men who fight them.
I am thinking if the old men that started wars, had to go on the front line to fight them, that would cut way back on wars.
