Though childbirth is frequently spoken of in terms of pain and punishment, some women do experience what are known as orgasmic or ecstatic births. According to a recent survey, 6% of women say they have had a “birthgasm” while delivering their child, which can be triggered from G-spot stimulation when the baby descends.
The Doctors discuss this surprising childbirth bonus where 6% of women said they experienced an orgasm during childbirth. Based on her experience OB/GYN Dr. Nita Landry shares, "What I would say, especially to first-time moms [is] don't show up on labor and delivery expecting to have an orgasm." Meaning, it's not that common and perhaps pretty hard to actually achieve.
Birthgasm: A birthgasm is a female orgasm that occurs during childbirth. This is sometimes referred to as an "orgasmic childbirth." Some women use sexual stimulation to ease contractions, instead of anesthesia. More than 85% of midwives surveyed by Postel (2013) stated that a sexually pleasurable birth experience was possible, and 69% stated they had observed such a case.
