It was on a hot summer night in the desert when Eve gave birth to her firstborn.
Going into labor, she didn’t expect the pain. It was so excruciating that Eve started cursing Adam who was by her side unable to do anything.
“Never again,” she cried out. It was a vow she’d break many times over.
After more pushing, the baby came out and a piercing cry was heard, announcing the birth of the first human ever conceived.
Understandingly, Adam fainted at the bloody sight. But after witnessing more births that followed, he got accustomed to the whole thing.

Nice glossary for the Bible story, where such details were regrettably omitted.

Ha ha ha, wonder why they didn’t include this scene in the Bible!

in a way, it left us to fill in the blanks. 🙂

It was first experience for Eve, cannot blame her. Besides it is only birth, she has a lot to face as the baby grows up. Goodluck!

The first birth, what a shock that would have been! Great story.

yes, i could only imagine. 🙂

Brenda's Thoughts | January 31, 2019 at 8:49 am
I wonder how many women have said, “Never again” during labor! Amusing tale. =)

brenda:
it’s more than we think according to my friends who work in the maternity ward. 🙂

I always had Adam down as a wimp – this proves it!

it was eve who told adam to eat the apple, wasn’t she? 🙂

Which, of course, makes me wonder how he reacted to his first-born’s bloody murder of the second-born.

something to think about. somebody must know. 🙂

Dear Plaridel,
You’ve put humanity into a story that so many of us know by rote, but never stop to think about. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Besides that, there were no hospitals to count on either. Even in the Book of Genesis it says that women would have a lot of travails in childbirth

larry:
i agree totally.

Heheh, what an original idea. I guess the goddess Evolution was standing in a corner and reminding them of their ancestors. 🙂

i’m with you on that! 🙂

Fatima Fakier | February 3, 2019 at 10:36 pm
Not me! Once is enough. LOL! Interesting take on the prompt, to imagine the birth of the first conceived human.
43.

fatima:
once is enough? you can’t be that serious. 🙂

Jade M. Wong | February 4, 2019 at 9:11 am
I think the birth is a shocking sight for many first time fathers LOL

you’re right on the money. 🙂

Inside the Mind of Isadora | February 5, 2019 at 9:22 am
Oh yes, many a woman has said, “Never again.” Yet, here we are with a huge amount of population. I guess Adam didn’t mind the pain. ~~~ : – ) nicely described …
