With regard to the procreation thing, I would suggest that any female who had gone through childbirth once would not chose to go through it again. Particularly as there are many ways to ensure no more childbirth can occur.
Humans have a remarkably poor memory of pain.
We may remember that something hurt like a sumbitch, but trying to recall the specifics is very difficult.
I think it may be a defence mechanism.
Although I have never given birth ( obviously) I have suffered a few major traumas.
I remember wishing I could die when my lung collapsed.
But for the life of me, I can't be specific about the nuances and varieties of the pain.
Probably the massive wash of pherenomes and hormones released at birth erases the woman's memory of the physical trauma.
