Well, since I've done both, I can say that I enjoyed childbirth quite a bit more. Not so much with the Big C, when I think of trying to assume the position on the floor to match the little picture that came with the Fleet thingy, with my glasses falling off, my arthritis getting in the way and then trying to reach for my iPhone so I could count the minutes before I could move to the next step on the chart. Uh-Uh - Hope I never have to do that again! Now on the other hand, when you give birth, and the delightful product of your efforts sees the light of day, everybody cheers and says "Good Job!" And Beautiful Baby! And it's a big celebration!

You don't get that with the Big C. At least I didn't.
