Delivering a baby

Sometimes we forget it’s messy business:

I don’t care what health video you saw in high school, but it clearly digitally-removed most of the blood, fluid, and poop that ends up under the woman pushing. It is not a pleasant affair. From a purely physical perspective, you have a woman pushing a bowling pin through a nostril, and in the process, blood is sliming or gushing out; amniotic fluid (clearish with specs of white floating in it) is seeping out as well.
