Childbirth also called delivery, is the last step of the pregnancy, where one or more babies are released from the uterus by leaving the vagina.
One of the most common questions about childbirth is how painful it is. According to the survey, almost half of the women who have gone through the process have said the contractions were the most painful experience in their lives. However, though a lot of people know are aware of how painful it is, they still do not know WHY it’s so painful.
Meanwhile, in an online community, a person who has never given birth before has uploaded a specific process of childbirth, even with some photos attached for a better understanding, which drew attention from the readers.
The topic of giving childbirth even brought more attention as famous American rapper Cardi B mentioned the importance of learning the process.
Cardi B is one of the top Billboard artists, where Billboard even honored her as “Woman of the Year”. She always has been one of the celebrities who is very influential – Time magazine included her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world- and spread a lot of information about women’s health.
Recently, an online community posted an article titled “What a woman, that Cardi B didn’t even know, goes through when giving birth.”
From now on, let’s take a look at the “facts that no one tells you when giving birth”.
Just like in the photos, the first step during a child’s birth is called “initial presentation”.
The baby’s shoulder is stuck behind the mother’s pubic bones. The second step is called “Episiotomy”. This is when the baby’s head is starting to come out and the scissors are used to cut and widen the vagina to ease the delivery.
Finally, there is an eventual delivery, where a child comes to life.
Readers who have seen this post reacted: “Uh… thank you mom,” “why don’t schools teach us this…” “I only heard about it, but looking at the picture, it looks painful,”.
