After the pain of childbirth, why do women have more than one baby? Is it forgotten, or is it the love of family?

Love of family. It's not that they forget the pain, they sure don't! But it's the love of their kids/family that drives them to continue.

THe pain will always hurt during labor, meds help though! But the desire and love for children is much stronger than temporary labor pains.

Yes at the time the pain is unbearable, but i do tend to agree that afterwards you cant actually remember just how bad it was! (the gas and air tends to help!!) We must be gluttons for punishment LOL!! Actually after i had my daughter (3rd child) i swore that if i had her first i wouldnt have had any others as her birth was the most difficult of the three.. just as well i had her last isnt it!!

I only remember that they hurt, not the pain. Once the baby is out- thats it, except for a few after pains.

It's a little bit of both. My son was 10 lbs when he was born and I was 18. i thought that i would NEVER forget that pain, but I did and it all came back to me when I had my daughter 10 years later. but I knew that it would be over soon and the payoff is much better than the price. I would go thru it 10 times over if we didn't have so many kids already.

Some don't because of it, but not many (obviously). It's not THAT bad, and your child is SOOOOOO worth it!

I had a horrible pregnancy and an extremely difficult, painful delivery. I honestly did not and still don't want to go through that again. But, I did want more children. I suppose that if I had gotten pregnant again I would have been happy to have the child at the end of it; but, I sure wouldn't have looked forward to the rest. I have to say that my so was well worth it.
