Who gives birth best: Chinese men, American men or Australian men?

Most men would be thankful they never have to experience the pain of childbirth.

But some in China’s Shandong Province willingly signed up to experience a ‘labour simulator’ so they could better understand what their pregnant partners will go through when they give birth.

The machine administered a series of increasingly strong electric shocks to the volunteers’ abdomens, which simulated contractions. See how they got on in the video below.

“My wife is expecting a baby in three months, and we had a row when I told [her] not to make such a fuss,” Guang Liao, a 29-year-old father-to-be, told the CEN news service.

“When she found out about this project, she told me had to sign up for it, so I also know what is was all about.

“I must admit I was curious and if what I experienced is really what she goes through, then I have to say I have changed my attitude.

“It was really incredibly painful and I only had it for a few minutes.

“If it went on for hours I don't know if I'd be able to bear it”' he said.

A spokesperson for the Jinan city hospital said: “The event was aimed at creating awareness and more respect for childbearing women.”

But this is not the first time such machines have been used, with American and Australian men also signing up to experience the pain of childbirth.
