EVERYONE knows that when it comes to childbirth, to prepare for a lot of pain, sweat, and tears as it is often described as one of the worst sensations anyone can experience.
For many mothers, the experience can be gruelling, prolonged and arduous.
However, if you are one of the lucky ones, you may be in for a surprise when it comes to childbirth.
Research has found that six per cent of women actually ORGASM during birth, according to a survey by Positive Birth Movement and Channel Mum.
Midwives have also said that they have observed this happening to some women.
One nurse on TikTok, who goes by the name of Rescue Midwife, has explained why it could happen.
Writing subtitles in a video she features herself, it read that it is “due to stipulation of the birth canal, cervix, vagina & clitoris.”
Pain as a necessary part of delivering a child has been the longstanding narrative in parenting communities for as long as we can remember.
Some viewers of the TikTok video joked around in response to the video, with one writing: “Probably cause it hits the spot that men can’t find.”
Another expressed: “to be honest, when I started pushing it kid of felt like a really satisfying poo…you know those that give you goosebumps.”
And a third added: “Thank you for this! Hoping I’ll have one.”
Seldom discussed is the possibility that it can actually be a pleasurable experience, but now more women are reporting experiencing an orgasm during the birthing process, bought on either naturally or by masturbating while in labour.
Milli Hill, founder of The Positive Birth Movement said: “The fact that giving birth can be a brilliantly enjoyable experience is a well-kept secret that is finally getting out.”
