Sorry, but i've actually had fillings as a child w/o novocaine. It is not as bad as my ILs. I was going to say a root canal, but that wasn't that bad either. I would say getting another c-section?

- hours of back labor followed by an unmedicated birth
- being trapped on the tarmac for 4 hours seated by the toilets next to a heavy guy in a kilt with bad breath (has actually happened to me)
- and what the PP said about becoming one with the furniture. Perfect description.
