Watch: Men Simulate Labour Pains

Watch: Men Simulate Labour Pains

For any woman who’s ever felt that men deserve a taster of what it’s really like to endure labour pains, your gift has come. This writer hasn’t even had a child, yet every time her other half attempts to compare the impending pain of childbirth, or even that of a bad period, to the pain of being kicked in the testicles (which almost NEVER happens), she wants to tear him a new one. So for the mommas who’ve actually been there, done that, this ought to sweeten your rage.

Here, the Try Guys at Buzzfeed step up to the plate once again to experience what it’s really like to endure those pre-baby contractions.

For volunteering alone, we must give them props. Men of Ireland, take note; labour pains are no walk in the park.
