I'll never know what it is like to have a baby, but my 1st stone was really difficult at times.  No question the most pain I have ever felt at times.  Even with morphine when I was in the hospital, I could still feel it slightly.  I wanted to rip it out of my body with my bare hands.

The 2nd one I had about 8 years ago or so wasn't nearly as bad.  Never ended up in the hospital and never had extreme pain.  I also got to see that one come out, which was both creepy and a joyous moment at the same time.

The trick is flooding it out with loads of water and beer.
