I assume it's a build up of sticky stuff at first and starts to harden out once it blocks your digestive system allowing it to disappear.
TBH I believe it's safe to say a kidney stone is probably even more painful than child birth.
my grandmother has had both, she said kidney stone hurts more.
well...there are a lot of factors that make the two experiences very different when it comes to pain recollection. With a kidney stone, the pain is not accompanied by the same mega hormone rush you get during childbirth(which kinda reprograms your brain to fuzz over the worst of the pain while remembering it)...also, there is no positive association with a kidney stone. When you are recalling the passing of a kidney stone, it is purely unpleasant...not so with the recall of childbirth.
Please believe me when I say that although it may be very painful to pass a kidney stone(my husband passed one not too long before I had our daughter, so I recall how much pain he was in)...there is no way it can compare to childbirth...you should all be glad that you will never know for sure.
