would this upset anyone else

i was talking about the birth of my son with my SO and i told him that he was 8lbs 4ozs well he goes "thats it you had it easy" because his dd was 10lbs so i said over 8lbs isn't easy and he goes well did you have blood come out of your nose. anyway would this bother anyone else i mean i'm proud of my birth and that i didn't end up needed any drugs for the pain. just because his dd was 2lbs bigger than my ds doesn't make my birth easy and i thought it was rude of him to say so.

Good for you. I had epidurals with both (YAY!) and Alex was my biggest at 8lbs. 10oz. My youngest was only 5 lbs. 2 oz. and he was born breech, and I had to push so hard to get him out I got a nosebleed and bursted all of the veins in my face. So? What's the point????
Don't let him discount the pride you feel in delivering your child naturally. Besides, child birth isn't a competition!

Yeah, it would bug me.
But if he communicates this way on everything that is a different story.

and being WITH the woman giving birth is STILL not giving birth. so again, until he has a baby he can compare then.
men.
It is fine to be proud of your birth experience but who cares if it was hard or not. They are all hard in some way. Besides, what does he know? I would look at the big picture and see if he makes it a habit of belittling you and your experiences. Sounds like he is competing and I don't see that as a good thing.
If it is just this blow it off.
