8. Oh god. I didn't do that.

but most women do, don't they. Yeah it sounds fair.

You know I was like 3 months pregnant before I even knew what an episiotomy was. All I thought was "NO WAY IN HELL IS ANYONE DOING THAT TO ME"

LOL

10. Well a grapefruit, then.

A *BIG* one... :P

Really I thought the cantaloupe would be the whole baby... cause a watermelon is too big...

So, large grapefruit, small brisket... and some kind of way to simulate an episiotomy.

Who's first, guys? Who wants to tell us if it's really not so bad?

12. men's anuses

Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 06:10 PM by realisticphish

are not designed to stretch that big. Vaginas are :shrug:

that doesn't mean it won't hurt like a motherfucker, but the female body is designed for it

15. The vagina's not generally the issue

(well, some women tear but that's generally a result of laboring in a bad position) the painful part is getting the kid through the cervix, which is normally a hole smaller than a nostril.

16. granted

Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 06:49 PM by realisticphish

but again, the cervix is designed for that purpose. whereas the anus certainly is not

again, it would still hurt, but it's what the anatomy is for

edit: and, as i had feared we march forward towards the chaos that this thread was designed to create :D

11. Stewie Griffin??

But then you'd have to find a regulation NCAA college-size football. And it would have to squeeze out sideways.
