The View star Whoopi Goldberg compares childbirth to 'passing a bowling ball through a STRAW' in VERY graphic debate about men's lack of empathy with labor and motherhood


Whoopi, 68, welcomed her daughter Alexandrea Martin in May 1974 and time clearly hasn't dulled the memory as she spoke openly about her experience of giving birth when she was 18.

Whoopi, 68, welcomed her daughter Alexandrea Martin in May 1974 and time clearly hasn't dulled the memory of that moment - with the TV host describing childbirth as like passing 'a bowling ball through a straw' - while suggesting that men could never understand that level of pain. Sara revealed: 'The funny thing is, my epidural fell out because I'm not brave enough to do natural and I was primal, like making sounds I'd never heard before and Max said, "let me know if you need something", but he didn't even roll over!' During an episode of The View in October 2023, the Academy Award winner got candid about her experience with menopause as she discussed hot flushes, low libidos, and vaginal dryness with her co-hosts.
