I've thought about this (and read about it) a lot, and my conclusions is that when it comes to pain we're wired differently because of our different roles: You guys need to be able to go out and hack at each other and not feel the small wounds, so you can keep fighting long enough to survive. We need to be sensitive to small, interior pains, so we know when the baby shifts, etc., and then tolerate a lot of pain, so the baby can come out. I was talking to hubby about this recently.
