Everyones tolerances for pain are different.  Headaches can be cured with a couple of pills and maybe a nap.  Toothache, you can numb with orajel often and get to the dentist asap.  Childbirth lasts for anywhere from 5 to 36 hrs of course more or less and you go through different stages and degrees of pain eventually feeling like you are having a melon pushed through an opening about the size of the hole in the middle of your dvd, or a cd.  however as soon as your baby cries and you see it for the first time all pain goes away and a sudden rush of happiness occurs and then you realize what true love is. so in reality love hurts the most :)

I think it's best not to have preconceptions of child birth because what happens will happen and at the time all you will care about is meeting your child for the first time.  Pain is usually a worry when you don't know what is causing it or how to fix it.  In childbirth, you know there will be pain but you know why you are getting it and you also know that it will go away.  Once you look into your newborn's eyes you won't care a bit about how you feel.

Narrowly defined, headache is pain in the head or face, and sometimes also includes pain in the upper neck. Pain sensitive structures in the head and face include the skin, bone and structures in the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Also, the large blood vessels of the head are exquisitely sensitive and these are the principal organs causing pain in vascular headaches, such as migraines. The jaw hinge (called the temporomandibular joint) and the teeth can also generate headache. The brain itself is not pain sensitive and is not a source of head pain. \n\nThe most common type of headache is the tension or muscle contraction type, which is frequently caused by spasms in the neck muscles and the muscles of mastication (chewing). This type of headache is usually treated easily by over-the-counter medications. More intense headaches are caused by unknown mechanisms. Most theories of vascular headache involve the relationship between the nerves and the blood vessels, both of which can be sensitive.

Ive had 7 kids...6 of them natural. The pain you feel is going to be unique to you. If you have a high pain threshold then it probably wont be that bad. If you have a low pain threshold..just remember you can always get medicine if you want. I have a high pain threshold..I slept thru one of my labors! My sister(the wimp) has a VERY low pain threshold..but even she didnt think labor was "that bad" I think it also has alot to do with how well prepared mentally you are for labor.

Signs and symptoms:\n\n A dull ache in your forehead, above your ears, or at the back of your head\n \n Pain in your neck or shoulders that travels to your head\n \n\nTension headaches are caused by tense or tight muscles in the face, neck, or scalp.

a root canal would not give you that much pain, after mine I was given antibiotics & told to take OTC pain medicine i.e. tylenol etc. what hurts the most for people that end up having root canals is the death of the tooth before the root canal, especially if it is a filled tooth that dies after the filling, that's when you have pain & get sick from the infection

Your brain has no nereve endings, so it cant hurt. Its the sensation of building tension in the muscles or constricton causing pressure that causes the pain. The origin of the pain is what causes the shifts in pain location for eg. we hunch our bodies defensively when we are under stress which leads to constant muscle tenson across the shoulders and neck which eventually translates into the characteristic pattern of a tension headache (back, neck, shoulder, head). or if you have eye problems headaches can originate on the side of constant strain or pressure (left eye vs right).\n\nApart from eyes and migraine, certain substances (e.g drugs, drinks, food etc.) can trigger headaches. Hormonal (e.g. menstrual) changes, dehydration, tiredness and other states of biological disharmony can lead to headaches.

Is it hurting in the eye/sinus/forehead area? then it's probably sinus. If it if a one sided pain with tunnel vision, flashing lights, naseau, weakness, it's probably a migraine. If there is a burning muscular pain in the back of the head or the top, it may be vision. Do you have problems seeing things up close/far away/reading etc.? Ofcourse, I'm no MD by any means, and I'm sure that you need a proper medical diagnoses.

Any man who does not allow his woman to have pain killers during child birth is a sadistic mother (fill in the blank).\n\nI have some idea as to what child birth might be like.  I have a passed a few kidney stones in my day and I had doctors and nurses both tell me that is worse than labor ofr child birth.

Getting your period is your bodies way of getting rid of placenta that was never used to carry a child.  The pain you are experiencing (they say but I dont believe them) is your bodies way of preparing you for child birth.  If you are that uncomfortable, I would talk to your doctor because you could have endometriosis.  I had that and had to have a hysterectomy.  I couldnt stand the pain and got just as sick if not sicker than you.  I truly feel for you.  Talk to your doctor and have him run the tests.  Get things ruled out.  I will keep you in my prayers.  I really feel for you.
