Been there for all six of my kids! All natural birth. My wife described each delivery as "extremely uncomfortable", but not painful. Lucky her, I guess.

That goes without saying. I suppose my comment was a bit short and ambiguous. I had a longer comment but I ended up deleting most of it.
I was mostly talking about the description, as I spent longer reading over that than looking at the image. I'd say the description was at least as disturbing as the image as it covered several stages of the experience rather than just one. The imagery made my hair stand on its end.
A fascinating and disturbing insight into this brutal and allegedly "miraculous" stage of life. A reminder of the harsh conditions faced by those in poor countries without access to adequate medical care.

Man I was just braced and cringing while I read the description of this. That must have been one hell of an.. experience. You did a really amazing job with this shot- That vivid blood of blood but the real horror (sorry, lady) is just obscured, and that little glimpse is so powerful and, well, cringeworthy.
The human body was in fact developed in such a way that women are meant to give birth in a squatting position. Human babies (rather conveniently) instinctively hold their breath underwater and Water births are apparently much less painful. Laying on one's back with their legs raised whilst giving birth is apparently the most painful and difficult position to possibly choose. Absolutely bizarre.

Birth is horrible. The baby is the only positive result of it.

you obviously didn't read the story. I know that's the common perception. For me it was fucking horrific. It wasn't beautiful it wasn't a miracle, like I'd heard so many times before. It was fucking horrendous. I suppose that view is perhaps spread so we all still reproduce and aren't terrified to give birth!

The only miracle is if you reproduce with someone and the result of your DNA combined doesn't look like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. That is a miracle.

It's apparently not so rare (even in the Western World). I suppose it's not usually done with what looked like Kitchen scissors though.. Cut like butter! :S
