生孩子究竟有多痛苦？为什么80%的欧美产妇不用这么疼

China Daily

生孩子到底有多疼？ Quora上有人提问：“和人类经历的其他疼痛相比，生孩子到底有多痛？男人怎么才能理解女人承受了多少痛苦？”（How painful is childbirth compared to other pains a human can suffer?How could men empathise as to how much pain women endure?）一位用户回答称：“这种痛是无可比拟的。生孩子将是你经历过最痛苦的事情。你可能和我一样也听说过，当你看到自己的宝宝时就会忘记那种痛苦。这根本就是一个来自地狱的谎言。你一辈子都不会忘记生产的痛苦。支撑我生二胎的唯一原因就是我会做剖宫产。如果要再一次忍受那种痛苦，我是绝对不会生的。” 如果你觉得这个答案不够形象，不妨看看这段视频。 video video video 有人做了一项实验，用电流刺激模拟的方式让4位小哥体验分娩有多痛。实验人员在每位小哥的腹部、背部贴满电极贴，结果电流一接通，所有人都忍不住“哀嚎”，坚持不到10秒钟就无法忍受，要求停止实验。而很多真正的产妇却要忍受这种疼痛几小时，甚至数天。 80% vs 10% 不是所有痛苦都是必要的据中华医学会一份统计显示：对于分娩疼痛，约6%的初产妇感觉轻微疼痛，约50％的初产妇感觉明显疼痛，约44%的初产妇感觉疼痛难忍，甚至“痛不欲生”。有人问，现代医学这么发达，就没有缓解分娩疼痛的方法吗？当然有，医生们早就找到了办法。无痛分娩，医学上称为分娩镇痛，是使用各种方法使分娩时的疼痛减轻甚至消失。视频里，小哥们口中高呼的epidural，全称为epidural anesthesia，即“硬膜外麻醉”，就是一种分娩镇痛方法。据美国妊娠协会（The American Pregnancy Association）介绍： Epidural anesthesia is the most popular method of pain relief during labor. 硬膜外麻醉是分娩过程中最常用的镇痛方法。 Epidural anesthesia is the injection …
