Can only go on what India said.

Women go through childbirth with something like a small melon being forced out of your body, which often includes vaginal tears or cuts and needs stitching, and recover easily afterwards. Just soreness and sometimes a bit of a sting from the stitches, specially first few times you wee and when the stitches are dissolving they go a bit hard. With experience of that I'll take India's word for it that post op isn't too bad.

It's funny the first time I had a baby I was really worried about the bit where the baby leaves your body, it looks dreadful in all the birth films but was excrutiating pain of the contractions that did me in. It's agony. The actual baby coming out was something of a relief to get rid of it and stop the pain.

Everyone alive has a mum who has had to do that. Since we are celebrating women, thank you mum's!
