it's called a c-section
Women's size has nothing really to do with how difficult a pregnancy is.
Are those really that safe? I was under the impression those were popular because they were painless.
Really?
No
C-Sections are basically cutting open the belly
Without sedatives
I know.
Most babies are born between 5 - 10 pounds.
Wait... without? o.o
Yeah
Without
>without
No, they use sedatives.
that's retarded
Well, they give circumcisions without them.
At least that's what I was told by a couple of baby boomers
Poor kids.
It's a thing they apply to the belly, like a yellow sorta solution, it's going to numb everything.
Oh
Not sure what it's called, but I took human growth and development, so I know about it.
Yeah.
If so, it's technically a sedative, I think.
It's a sedative you apply to the surface of the skin.
I wouldn't know
tho i've heard we really shouldn't be having c-sections, because evolutionarily speaking, the birth canal will become smaller due to babies not wedging their heads through them
Well -- Sorta...
That sounds like a good idea not to have them
Vaginal births are a good thing because it sorta squeezes all of the fluid out of the babies lungs.
Yeah, but that wouldn't really affect you on a genetic level whether or not you had a c-section.
yea
Plus, the baby's head collapses to get through the vagina so everything is set up for vaginal birth.
collapses?
The only way that would make sense if it natural selection kicked in and women started dying in childbirth again- to which I say "fuck natural selection".
Collapses? O.o
babies make a 90 degree turn in the canal to get otu
Yes, lol. Funny enough babies heads are mushy, so they can get through the vagina, and when they finally come out their head sorta hardens up except the very top of the head. That comes later on in life.
Until then you have to be very, very careful not to touch the top of an infants head.
Yeah, from what I understand, babies are all cartilage when they're born, and gradually it turns to bone.
