I heard women are wired to forget the experience, because otherwise we'd go extinct as nobody would ever want to go through it after the first time.
The brain dumps a shit load of hormones to take the edge off the (frankly, horrific) process of giving birth.
The sudden imbalance after pregnancy and labor is suspected to be a causative factor in post-partum mood disorders.
I think it's like moments after the birth that the body is flooded with feel-good hormones that do exactly that - make you forget how painful and horrible the whole thing was and only remember how great being a new mother feels.
