LOL, and cows don't experience pain when they give birth to calves? Some women experience intense orgasms when giving birth naturally. In fact, this has been cited as an evolved mechanism to promote bonding between mother and child, something that modern anaesthesia robs them of, to an extent. I recall a chart comparing the extent of a new mother's unwillingness to breast feed her newborn increasing with anaesthesia usage during the delivery.
(1) Even if they do, they don't bitch about it.
(2) Not all cows do, or do not, give birth 'in season'. Cows have , for a long time, been 'helped' to achieve pregnancy by MAN, as have many other animals. Have you ever been to a cattle farm ? Ever been a farmhand who had to 'encourage' a bull to mount a cow, and then helped masturbate the bull ? Ever seen the 'machines' that masturbate various farm animals so that their semen can be used to 'unnaturally' inseminate the female of the species ?

There may be a mental 'link' between pain in childbirth and desire to breast feed. However, it is possible that the use of anaesthesia (alt. anesthesia) may contribute more to a reduced 'concern' for providing breast feeding. I.E. Someone on anesthetics doesn't really give a crap about much of anything, for a while. It is very 'sedative'. It produces a LACK OF AWARENESS.
What would be more 'logical' and 'scientific' is that pain in the breasts from swelling with lactic acid prior to birth encourages the mother to breast feed to reduce the pain.
