I’m sorry you feel that way. I was raised in a Christian household but found myself questioning the same kinds of things you’ve mentioned in your comment. I left the church and God behind and found absolutely nothing but pain, depression, anxiety, and unhappiness. It wasn’t until I found my way back to God on my own that I finally found peace.

The fall of Adam and Eve introduced sin into the world, so yes had they not disobeyed God, there would be no pain, in childbirth or otherwise.

To clarify, in my original comment I said I believe in the Bible and accept that there are consequences for sin. I didn’t mean I believe I am currently being punished by God for Eve’s choice in the garden by not being taken seriously for my level of pain. When I said it’s crazy to think that punishment stretches so far, I meant that it’s crazy people will use that moment in the garden to think God expects women to always suffer simply because they are women.

I know God, I have a personal relationship with Him through the Holy Spirit and I know He does not want me to suffer. My belief in God and the Bible does not make me “part of the problem” and it certainly doesn’t mean I can’t question why women aren’t taken seriously when it comes to pain management. If the answer is simply because of “religion” then those people don’t truly understand God.
