Does childbirth = the Big O?
Um, I didn't. But apparently it is possible. Cafe Melisa over in the Pregnancy Buzz wrote a post about a new documentary film called Orgasmic Birth, which will be airing on 20/20 on January 2. For more details on the documentary, read "Orgasm During Labor & Delivery? Sign Me Up!" For more talk about childbirth and orgasms—keep reading.
ChazznRoccosmom asked "Orgasms during childbirth?" in the Advice for Moms group, and here are some of the responses she got:
"Hm, let me think. I was either screaming in pain, or numb from waist down."—whoops2
"I don't know about the orgasmic part of it, because I had a C-section. But the labor leading up to it was no where near orgasmic."—lostmarbles0520
"I was screaming, dry heaving, sweating. But no orgasms. But I do remember when the placenta came out and I said really loudly, 'Oh God, that feels good.' And it did."—bubsmom04
Who knows? Maybe it depends on who your doctor is!
Okay, Baby Mamas, how about it? Did you experience the Big O—or anything close to it—during your labor and delivery?

No, but there were parts that felt really good. Sometimes coming down after a contraction was SUCH a relief...and afterwards while nursing, sometimes those little contractions felt pretty good. I wouldn't describe them as orgasmic by any stretch, but it was like, "Hey, what's that?" in a good way.
No, no big-O for me, either -- but I was flying high on hormones so, who knows, maybe next time... :)
wow. I guess I have never heard of that.I didn't have one, but I had no pain, either. I did get the epidural, but not till i was dialated to a 7. Even before that there was no pain.. :) and my baby was almost 10 pounds!!!!
if you have an orgasim while pushing out a baby..
i have to ythink that there is something wrong with your vagina. lol
nope...no orgasms here with all 3 of my births ....
although on that last push when the baby was finally out.. that felt pretty damn good.. lol

LOL...
I'm pretty sure they are refering to definition #2 in this case b/c there is no way child birth is as pleasurable as what's described in definition #1... that's for darn sure!
Especially if you were anything like me!
With my first, I was in labor for 43 hours THEN had to have an emergency C-section b/c he got stuck!
No big "O" there except for in the word... OOOOOOOOOOOOOUCH!!!
