Yep. One of those sawtoothed bayonets (circa WWI) should give a good approximation.
Actually, a fetus’ nervous system is mostly developed, with functioning neurotransmitters capable of transmitting perception of pain from the entire body surface (except the back and top of the head) by week 13.5.
So there is nothing to get “bogged down” in. It’s simple science. A fetus feels pain just after the third month of gestation.
