    So wouldn’t that mean that child birth is less painful? Because pain receptors and memory are also evolutionary traits?

      no? whether the pain is remembered is irrelevant to the feelings in the moment. not remembering the worst of the pain doesn’t make that pain more bearable during childbirth

      Isn’t that the same with any pain? I mean I can’t remember how much it hurt when I broke bones or got hit but I remember it hurt a lot. You do get something out of the birth that is worth the pain (big assumptions everyone feels that way) you do not get anything out of being kicked in the nuts or anywhere else (unless it is a kink).
