Is This What Child Birth Is Like?

“A couple go to their first pre-natal class. The husband is told to wear a bag of sand so he has an idea of what it feels like to be pregnant. The husband stands up saying, ‘This doesn’t feel so bad.’ The instructor then drops a pen and asks the husband to pick it up. ‘You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the way my wife would do it?’ asks the husband. ‘Exactly,’ replies the instructor. The husband turns to his wife and says, ‘Honey, pick up that pen for me.’”

 –Joke from Man Walks Into A Bar by Stephen Arnott and Mike Haskins

Women describe childbirth as the worst pain imaginable. As the above joke illustrates, men can have a hard time understanding what a pregnant woman has to go through.

In order to better understand what their wives had to endure during labor, the two guys in the video above, hook themselves up to machines that simulate childbirth. The results are painfully funny.
