I dont understand, if birth is such a "wonderful," and natural thing... why does it practically kill the lady with pain? I think it shouldn't be painful. I think it should be like taking a poop.
Because then you'd be pooping and accidentally pop out your premature baby.
Anyway, I was also wondering this semi-recently, and it seems like a lot of the badness is from being forced to do it "properly" rather than doing what feels right at the moment (i.e. walking around, squatting instead of laying on your back, etc.) so weird alternative birth things start sounding less weird.
Haha, well it wouldn't come out until the water broke I guess? Like all the "unknowingly" pregnant middle school girls.
But that's interesting. Who decided lying on your back was the best way to go? Ever the lover of babies, I could care less about what the pain killer chemicals do to them during the birth. (apparently not much considering all the epidurals) But those, paired with water birth for example, could make it much easier?
Though in theory an epidural sounds wretched. Spinal injection? Whoa, no thanks.
Noooooo! Cause the baby and only the baby comes out when it's time, water still breaks and everything, but with just as much "pushing" effort and pain scale that it makes to take a poop.
lmao you usually do poop while you're giving birth. right before labor a lot of women have a really massive poop that clears them out but usually some (or a lot) comes out during labor :D
also there was some news thing on ~orgasmic birth or something, idk google it. i think it was on 20/20 or maybe primetime. they had clips of all these ladies in total ecstasy while in labor.
i really don't remember, but now that i think about it i think the news segment was about a documentary that this lady made about the whole thing. you could probably find it and watch it? i think it was a combination of different things. i just remember this one lady was in a hot tub, making out with her husband, in her backyard in hawaii.

Ohhhhhh I love how the men (note: in *my* experience) are the grossed out ones who don't want to talk about it lol...
