Indeed! Even worse than 2 root canals with no novicane. That was a pretty tight call, though.
The good thing is that I never had any clusters (or migraines) while pregnant. Clusters came back with a vengence within a week of giving birth. Sometimes I think the epidural triggered it.

I would answer this with a ....BIG HELL YEH! hehe
I did not have natural Child Birth but I did lay in labor for 16 weeks on meds stopping the birth only to end up with an emergency C-Section and whoaaaaa I would rather have 10 more of those then 1 more HA

I went through childbirth 3 times, twice with epidurals and one natural. On the pain scale natural childbirth hits an 8 and a full blown CH hits a 10.
I think for me the biggest issue is that at the end of the pain of childbirth you have something wonderful (for a short time at least, then teen years hit  ) whereas at the end of a CH you have only the knowledge of the next CH to come.

Good thread.
Hope you women don't mind if I collect these responses for future reference and display, perhaps on the OUCH site.

LOL That's funny because during my first appointment with a neurologist, she told me that it was very unlikely that I have CHs because I'm female. They are supposedly "uncommon" in women.

Uh......... ;D-ANYway, Childbirth was cake compared to ch. Childbirth hurts and then your eva so happy and it's OVER. Clusters are relentless - pain over and over. It's two completely different kinds of pain. I'd rather have a baby than clusters.
That probably made no sense, but whaddya expect from this poster ;D

Child birth was a breeze compared to CH, I had nurses in amazement because I never even so much as wimpered, and Kim's right, at the end you totally forget the pain because you get this precious gift at the end of all of it, you get jack squat after a CH except an ugly face, ugly hair, and a sore ass from sitting in the shower....
