Also, why is the pain so normalised if it’s so debilitating
In: 5
To answer your question about why it’s normalized, it’s because, to put it bluntly, women’s pain is ignored and dismissed. Women’s health in general is neglected.
Women who complain of pain to their providers are generally ignored, and not offered any kind of pain relief. It doesn’t matter what kind of pain it is, including childbirth (I can attest to being told my pain “wasn’t that bad” in the middle of labor). I had to fight for pain relief afterward, despite a third degree tear.
