It makes sense that these women would repress what I have to assume is a traumatic amount of pain, but like you guys have already said, it's certainly far from unheard of for a person to repress any kind of traumatic memory. I wonder if a woman could cure her baby rabies after breeding by undergoing hypnosis to unlock those repressed memories of the pain of pregnancy, labor and childbirth.
Just one of the many built-in features humans apparently have to encourage breeding. Like how women experience a flood of oxytocin immediately after sluicing so they will bond with the creature that just ruined their bodies and caused them the worst pain of their lives and not break said creature's neck for what they put them through.
I wonder if humans having enjoyable sex is evolution at work too. I think humans were smart enough to figure out a long time ago that fucking = horrible screaming assholes, and we might have been too smart to engage in sexy time because of the painful (for women, anyway) outcome of it. So nature might have had to trick us into doing it by making it feel good, otherwise we'd just masturbate instead of procreate. Because some other mammals do not have enjoyable reproductive sex at all.

This is where some women will say that women are "tougher" than men. I actually think that if men had babies, there would be a lot of only children. Or men would come up with something like an overgrown Lava Lamp in their garages to grow a baby outside of a body.
Absolutely. Women who want to have kids tend to attach a lot of emotional value to breeding - growing a new life inside her body, using her body to nourish that life when it's born, creating a whole new person that holds half her DNA. Men usually are not as emotionally invested in the process and they would absolutely 100 percent find a way to work smarter rather than harder when it comes to growing a fetus instead of putting themselves through unnecessary pain.
