I saw my wife give birth, it was both gross and fascinating but mostly I was grateful that she went through that for us, so yeah I also thought it was beautiful.

I was amazed on how much blood there was.
My wife was super out of it on Epidural drugs during real labor, but I love telling her the sound of the blood hitting the floor after the baby came out.
It was baby then SPLOOSSHH. I'll never forget that noise.
My wife is preggers so I've got all this to look forward to .
Don't bail out on watching it. It really is fascinating to see.
But for sure don't prioritize watching over helping your wife out. Pushing on her upper back while she's pushing helped my wife out a ton. There was a clear difference in the baby's movement through the birth canal when I helped out.
But have fun! It's such a wild, exhausting time. Your wife is going to struggle so be supportive!
Sorry for the unsolicited advice, we had our first kid a couple months ago, so it's still fresh in my mind.
It's our first kid as well. Shitting bricks but I'm almost certainly less worried than her so I think my role is to basically support her as much as possible. Thanks for the advice!
The cord was much harder to cut than I thought it would be. Like it wasn't hard, just more effort than I thought it would have needed.
Like cutting rubber foam with dull scissors.
Yeah, that's pretty accurate. I thought it would be like cutting some chicken skin with alright scissors haha.
Edit: not sure why you were down voted.
I’m dense… can someone explain?
She’s showing the baby being born. People who say that’s beautiful never actually saw it.
It's beautiful like the movie Life Is Beautiful. Traumatic but with silver linings.
silver linings
Those are tears. You probably ought to get those checked...
"that thing" is her vagina
It's her vagina that stretches as the baby comes out
It looks like blowing a hairy bubble
:(
A bubble from the flesh swamp
Why u do dis
You are adorable. Really. Stay that way. I admire your flair of innocence and curiosity.
I think instead of showing him just a picture of the baby, she’s showing pictures of having the baby.
Had a friend when I was a kid whose mom was... eccentric. Very hippie old lady who worked as a "tantric sex couples therapist". One time when I slept over I woke up and had to go pee. I bumped into the mom who was walking around the house completely naked and she hugged me and asked if I wanted a cup of tea, I was still half awake and said yes for some reason. When I came back from the toilet she was sitting with a photo album and asked me to sit down next to her so she could show "the birth of her daughter" (my friend). And the photos were incredibly explicit. My reaction was exactly like this comic, really not something a 13-year-old boy like me should see. I'm lucky it didn't give me some birthing or pregnancy fetish or something, being at a prime age at the time for something like that to develop.
Wtf. How was your friend normal with a mom like that
He never said the friend was normal :)
