A Pregnant Woman Afraid Of Giving Birth Asks Her Doctor For A Solution

A woman and her husband go and talk to their doctor about her fears of child birth. She says she is far too afraid of the pain and worries that she will not be able to endure it, she asks the doctor if there is anything at all that might lower the pain.

The doctor replies, "Well there is one option, but it's used very rarely." "Anything doctor we're willing!" "You see, we are able to divert a percentage of the pain so that the father of the baby feels the pain of the birth, instead of the mother. You can choose what percentage of the pain you would like to feel. Be it 10, 15, or 20 percent, although most men cannot endure much more than that" The husband bravely responds, "Of course Doctor I am certainly willing, let's do it."

A few days later during labor the woman is in excruciating pain, so they turn the device on to 10 percent. Immediately the woman feels subtle relief, while the husband feels nothing at all.

"Wow doctor, this is tremendous, I can't feel anything at all and it's helping her. Can we turn it up?" So they turn it to 20 percent, and then 30 percent. Each increase brings the woman tremendous relief and leaves the man baffled and excited. Convinced that child labor is a complete joke that women have been exaggerating for centuries, he offers to take 100% of the pain. The labor finishes smoothly with no problems or pain from either party. They thanked the puzzled doctor for his help and headed home, to find the mailman dead on their porch.
