Just wanted to point out that woman are not in constant pain during labor. They happen in waves. The first labor pains could be 30 minutes apart and last 3 seconds. The last will be under 3 minutes in frequency and last maybe 5-9 seconds. Point being, it's not constant.

My wife had what the doctors called "back labor" for 2 out of our 3 kids and let me tell you, she was in constant pain.

But your numbers refected a person that was in constant pain...they are not. So if you knew it, you should have tailored the numbers accordingly or made a side note that said does not include when they are not having labor pains...or something like that. That's all I'm saying.

I was giving women the benefit of the doubt. They needed all of the help that they could get in those numbers.
