A member asked:
Can you die from labour pain? is there anything more painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hi. No, the pain can't kill you. Maternal mortality in childbirth is very real, however, and some things that cause pain can kill. Most patients I have who've passed kidney stones and had vaginal deliveries say they'd rather have a vaginal delivery than pass a stone; that answers your 2nd question (although many other things can also be more painful). Good luck!
