Doesn’t the body release a bunch of hormones during childbirth to sort of act as pain modulators and it kinda makes the mother’s memory of it less intense than it actually was? I remember reading something about it being an evolutionary thing so the mother isn’t deterred from getting pregnant again.

    Exactly this. Your brain gets absolutely blasted with a bunch of chemicals during childbirth and your memory of it becomes very hazy, especially the pain parts. This happens with or without pain management.
