New Delhi: Father-to-be can now have a chance to experience the pain of childbirth as a hospital in Eastern China offers them a free of cost session.

Women often complain that they get little sympathy from their partners when they go through the ordeal. To give them a taste of the medicine, Aima maternity hospital in Shandong province is holding free sessions that are held twice a week. About 100 men – most of them dad-to-be have consented to bear the torture.

For the simulations, the doctors attach pads to a device that be placed directly above the abdomen region. Then electric shocks are given on the area to induce pain. Nurses allow the subjects to writhe in pain for five minutes and then they raise the scale intensity from one to ten.

One of the subjects said, "It felt like my heart and lungs were being ripped apart”. He managed to reach level seven before urging the nurse to relieve him. Most of the volunteers couldn't even reach half the mark and gave up within minutes because they couldn't take the pain.

No matter how much it hurt, the nurses admitted that simulations could not match real pain of childbirth.
