Sorry to disappoint you, but I won't be doing that, despite how much of a melodramatic whiner you think I might be.
That said, I think it's sad that you think women that aren't happy with their birth experience are whiners, or that their feelings aren't justified. Do you really think they aren't grateful that they and their babies are healthy, or that they would prefer a sick child if they could have had "the perfect birth"? How a woman feels about her birth is important as a quality of life issue.
FWIW, I used to think women with negative birth experiences needed to get over it, too, right up until my daughter's birthday. I am going to assume you do not have children, or if you do, that your wife/girlfriend/whatever was fortunate enough to be completely satisfied with her birth, because it does change your perspective.
