There must be a better way. I had one almost 40 years ago and, to be quite honest, I would rather die than go through that again. I'm not trying to scare you but I have had 2 kids and childbirth pain is a walk in the park in comparison. That's not even mentioning the after-effects.
I'm editing to add, as mentioned, that was almost 40 years ago. Maybe they are easier now.
