I have to agree with you, excepting myself. My periods have never been particularly painful or copious, my labors have always been fast (painful, but fast - done in a few hours from beginning to end, via natural birth), on Mirena IUD I have no menstruation whatsoever, I have never had PMS, I have never had a hymen to the best of my knowledge - in short, I have been spared. During my pregnancies, I felt great. I did not have postpartum depressions. I breastfed with ease, for 8 years total. I enjoyed childbirth, and especially the last one which was completely med-free at home. So I can say that I have enjoyed all aspects of being a woman.
