I have always favoured egg laying - anything that keeps the thing out of my body would have been appreciated!

ROFL! We often tell our son he was "hatched." Probably wishful thinking on my part.
Actually, I have long been of the opinion that it would be ideal to place egg and sperm in an aquarium, and then watch it grow... sort of a more... productive version of "sea monkeys."

The pain of delivery doesn't bother me at all, it's merely physical pain for a very limited amount of time and I can stand physical pain very well. After all, even my petit body has evolved to endure childbirth.
There are many pain relief methods that can be used, and one doesn't need to decide that in advance, one can wait and see how long and painful the labour will be. The pain of endless months and months of sleepless nights and horrible screaming bothers me a lot more!

Indeed.. While every labour is different, I will say I've had migraines that are more painful. Yes, it hurts, hurts like Hell in fact, but as you will be aware you also have all kinds of endorphins produced during labour, and they do somewhat mitigate the agony... They actually made me feel quite stoned...
You are right... once the little beggers are on the outside, is when all the hard work begins
This is not for everyone, but we found that having our son sleep with us for the first year, moreorless eliminated the sleepless nights; though, I realise, this is a somewhat controversial practice.
