Are kidney stones worse than childbirth?

I can't compare to labor, but as a diabetic, managing any severe pain is very risky for my blood sugar. This pain is incredibly intense. Please go to a hospital for proper management.

I haven't slept in two days because of my stone and honestly, I feel like I'm giving birth to a baby rock. It is pure agony. Save yourself the trouble and see a doctor ASAP.

Haha, my mother-in-law says kidney stones are the only thing that made my father-in-law cry like a newborn baby! Don't worry, once the doctor gives you the right meds, it gets much better.

The sheer panic and pain from a kidney stone can feel completely overwhelming, so it is totally valid that people compare it to childbirth. Don't let the fear get to you, just reach out to a doctor for help.
