OOP either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that labor can take hours, and is completely unpredictable. There’s also the issue of finding a delivery room with space to accommodate five observers, in addition to the other people who absolutely need to be in the room.

This isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but the practicalities are significant.

Set up a camera and run the video to a nearby viewing room

They can watch video of live births at anytime without all the effort of coordination. There are countless videos of women giving birth if a video will suffice.

Damn your right, this kind of just ruined the post for me.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

It is definitely a bad idea because such a trip, especially in an unpredictable setting like this, can turn upside down real quick and the last thing a woman giving birth needs is some guys freaking out and needing the personnels attention. If you really respect the act of giving birth you should minimize the risks of it going wrong (you could argue that theyre getting paid and its their choice to take the risk, but thats kind of like saying sex workers could do an other job if they dont enjoy it). The same goes for people who want to visit in the first few days after birth, just because theyre "so excited for the baby they cant wait to see it". Think of the woman who went through hell a few hours ago and probably feels like a truck hit her in the face right now. Leave her the f alone. If they invite you, cool.

I cannot stress enough how traumatic this would be for everyone involved

[–] seraphine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

wdym, the baby wouldn't even notice /j

Birth is pretty traumatic for babies to begin with.

You start off on this dark, warm room. Floating in a little bubble of fluid. All you've ever known.

Then all of a sudden the bubble is gone. It's slowly draining. Either it popped on its own, or worse, somebody poked it with a crochet hook (I know the real medical tool isn't a crochet hook but that's legit what it looks like).

You're squeezing headfirst through a hole smaller in size than a CD. And as soon as they see your smushy little skull they are putting a sticker on it to watch your heart rate.

It's bright, it's cold, it's dry, and it's loud. The complete polar opposite of everything you've ever known. You have to start breathing and then you can't stop or you die, but nobody tells you that right away. Someone slaps your butt and someone else cuts your blood tube to mom.

No wonder they come out screaming.

And that's a typical, uncomplicated birth. Let's not talk about suction cups or forceps or cesareans.

My daughter came out grey & floppy. It was (probably) only about a minute before she started crying, but man it felt like an eternity.

Never watched a splatter movie on shrooms, not sure if that's a good idea.

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The difference is your option results in death, while theirs results in life.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

Only if everything goes well and even then it can be very bloody.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not a splatter movie, but Stalker was a hell of a movie on shrooms. 11/10 experience

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Stalker is just a great film, drugged or not.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Still better than the Patience episode of Wondershowzen.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago
