That one was very interesting. I had no idea a woman's internals were able to be jolted around that much.

It's interesting how the fetus moves downwards for a moment then retracts.

Also interesting was how the mother's spine is curved way back to let the fetus through the birth canal.

LMAO

I remember my wife lying back in the birthing chair with sweat plastering her hair against her forehead, nurse jumping up and pushing down on her abdomen to help push my son out. She, screaming at me like I could do anything to stop the carnage. The doctor grabbing my son by the head, putting him in a headlock and twisting the boy out of his mother while blood and sweat and hospital gowns filled my view.

Then in a second, shlup, it was all over. The doctor quickly snipped the umbilical cord and the nurses got to work collecting the blood from it. My son was given a quick wipedown and then swaddled in hospital linens. They stuck a tube down his throat to suck any remaining fluid from his lungs and he started crying.

A little, plaintive, cough-like cry.

He had his 10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes. He had a mole on his left knee.

They passed him over to his exhausted mother and he went to sleep.

The video in the article shows a lot of detail, but it really doesn't capture the whole picture.

If you weren't grossed out by that video, replay it and pay attention to the poo that Baby's head forces out of Mom.

I lasted two seconds into that video. No, thanks--going through it once was quite enough, I don't need any reminders.

This chipper nurse asked me, in the middle of labor, "Do you want us to put a mirror down there so you can see what is happening?"

No, thanks--if it looks anything like it feels I'm pretty sure I don't want to see it.

/got a pretty cute baby out of it, though
//also some Nubain, which I enjoyed
///I said NUBAIN

No kidding. After my wife gave birth, there was so much blood and other fluids tracked all over the floor of the delivery room it looked like someone was murdered in there.

Ok, I'll be the weird one and say that was very interesting. The baby coming down and going back up was a contraction and you can clearly watch the cervix dilate to allow for the birth.

Yo dawg! I hear you like coming out of tubes so we put you in a tube so you could come out of a tube when you're coming out of a tube.

the tub my wife delivered our most recent one in looked like we'd used it to dismember a corpse or two. it was pretty amazing how far that stuff spread.

then again awesome was answering the door five minutes after, covered from fingertips to elbows, all over my chest/shirt, you name it.

yeah, pizza guy was a touch unnerved.
