    I’m no botanist, but shouldn’t it be giving birth to a baby skellington?

      It is actually a male skeleton based on the pelvic bone. If this is indeed a female skeleton, then the woman will not survive giving birth to this child due to Trauma induced Post partum hemorrhage due to Lateral diameter insufficiency in a female with Android pelvis. I would have sent her to C section as soon as she went into labour, preferably even before that.

        Thank you for that! I’m a computer tech, so the furthest thing from having any real medical knowledge, but I’ve seen enough to think that those dimensions just looked really wrong and comparisons to real skeletons online just seemed to reinforce that belief.

      My wife gave birth like this, right on the living room floor and my daughter came out in an egg. The whole thing happened so quick, the midwife only arrived a few moments before she dropped, lucky as she needed to cut the egg open and get my daughter out.
      Meanwhile I was lying on the sofa with a broken leg trying to stop our cat from eating everything.

        I like how you describe her as “in an egg” lol. She was still inside the amniotic sac. The majority of the time, the amniotic sac ruptures prior to delivering the baby. The baby is delivered first and then the placenta follows soon after. But when both are delivered together with the sac entirely intact, it has a special name called an “en caul” birth.

          Legend has it that babies born en caul, or “in their waters” will never drown at sea.

                Yeah. I don’t know why but I also can’t open it, shared it using Jerboa. But the reason is basically AI scraping and that AI/LLM’s can spit out their training data so that notice could show up there. They provided this article: https://stackdiary.com/chatgpts-training-data-can-be-exposed-via-a-divergence-attack/

      It’s one you can use. The position we normally see is actually not really all that great for childbirth. It generally leads to more tearing, but doctors use it for easy access. Squatting or bent over like that can be easier and more comfortable for the woman. It’s just harder to get all up in there to see what’s going on.

      Its not abnormal. I’m no midwife, but I recall from my childbirth class, its one of a few main positions used.

      Sunny side up!

      That baby is positioned upside-down. They should be facing backwards, then the back of the neck pivots against the pubic bone during delivery.

      This is the one thing this post gets right. Hands and knees is better because then the baby can move downward, if you are on your back you have to push it up and out.
