Most folks have the same initial experience.
I have found the smaller they are, the more painful.
The tiny ones have a tendency to have sharp edges and move around quite a bit, hence cutting you up inside.
The bigger ones are more "docile" and generally drop a whole lot faster.
The problem is when they get so big you can't pass them.
The method they use for getting them out is not humane, or at least, not even remotely comprehensible to the average person.

No way.
I still shiver when I recall that bastage doing that to me.
I felt dirty afterwards.

OK,
Time to get sick.
Will photo the newborn and show the world.

WARNING!!! STONES!!!

The newborn, "Jupiter", is on the left.
As you can see, a healthy, 1/8" baby. However, he does look like that sphere in Star Wars after it got partially blown up.
For comparison, "Pluto", is on the right. Pluto was born in July, the second stone I passed in a 48 hour period.
