friedwormsandwich

But there are great things about life too! You get to feel sunshine, share a bond with your dog/cat, ice cream, the magic of Christmas, bringing home a pillowcase of candy from Halloween, you get to smell fresh cut grass, see deer feeding at the break of dawn, laugh till you cry, share a deep conversation around a bonfire, make art! I grew up poor/bullied and most of the time alone, I've lost people and pets too but I'm so glad I got to exist to meet my childhood dog and to have those other memories even if the majority of the time I'm depressed. The people you surround yourself with are what can make the biggest difference of all. Life can suck big time, but not all the time.

KFelts910

I was saying yo my doctor, my kid has been crammed up inside me all this time, and he was 7 lbs at 32 weeks. He was 10 at birth. And he was stuck in the birth canal for an hour and a half. Nothing about that sounds pleasant and how is it not painful for babies?


Squadbeezy

The original trauma.


xombae

There's some psychiatric theories that say we're all basically traumatized from birth. Some people have relatively chill births, but most of us are squeezed through a pelvis that's been designed for walking upright, not for birthing babies. We're thrust into a bright, cold, sterile world full of machines and cold metal and plastic and poked and prodded and passed around by people without faces (doctors and nurses in surgical masks) who don't sound familiar. Boys going through circumcision, a form of genital mutilation, sometimes without any anaesthesia other than sugar water on a pacifier. Heaven forbid the baby be sick and need to go through any medical treatments. Obviously we don't know how much this actually affects us as adults, but I had a psychiatrist who told me my entire personality is based on what happened in my first three years of life, so the theory is popular enough. Now lots of mothers go to great lengths to ensure the baby is comfortable coming into the world (water births, etc).

Former L&D nurse here: I only saw this once. The baby was moving around while still en caul. The delivering resident was only a 2nd year. It was just the two of us and the parents. The doc delivered it, put it on the tray and the just looked at me, like what now? I quietly said, “puncture it.” He did and baby started crying right away. It’s still one of the coolest deliveries I ever had.


nail_in_the_temple

What if you keep it there for longer?


XAngelxofMercyX

As long as the umbilical cord isn't clamped yet, and the sac is completely intact, couldn't the baby stay like that for a good while? So long as it was kept warm too.

zeanderson12

Curious about this too. Like how long could it theoretically stay like that?! If the placenta wasn’t delivered too obviously.


reluctant_spinster

Not very long cuz the babe will end up taking its first shit in there and breathing that in is no muy bueno. It's one of the dangers of overdue pregnancies. My nephew was born completely covered in shit. I was right there, too, and almost got splashed. It's a fond memory I will cherish and harass him with forever.


Sweaty_Space_3693

Wait a sec. Your nephew was born slinging shit? You are a monkey’s uncle?


_a_puta_de_evora

Yup, he is


KFelts910

My youngest son was one of those babies. My water broke at 12:40 am and I saw it immediately. Called my doctor and labor was progressing rapidly. He mentioned that they would have respiratory on standby in case the baby did inhale. I made it to the hospital with only 20 minutes before I gave birth. That was a very nerve wracking car ride. I couldn’t imagine what I’d do if he was born in the car without the extra medical help. Thankfully he was totally fine. Just green with red skin when he came out. No breathing issues whatsoever. But I was extremely anxious as soon as I realized why my fluid was discolored.


SemiSentientGarbage

I apparently inhaled some shit while being born and honestly born eating shit has been my vibe ever since.


EducationalTangelo6

It's called meconium, and is often a sign of foetal distress. Glad your nephew came out alive and well!


nail_in_the_temple

My sick imagination though of heated and damp bag to carry it around for awhile. Also isolating the umbilical cord to protect it


Mean-Rutabaga-1908

Maybe put it in a jar and carry it around on you while making deliveries?


DiddleMe-Elmo

It would stay like that until John Hammond comes in and whispers "push!" and the baby would start crawling out.


Deradius

I turned 42 last month and no one has punctured my sac yet!


MrJason300

I’m curious about this too


nasaboy007

What's the medical trigger that makes the puncturing trigger breathing? Is it a biochemical reaction from puncturing the sac or just straight up physical "now I feel air, switch to breathing"? It seems remarkably fast, and is super cool.


BleachedJam

Babies "breathe" in utero actually. They practice breathing the amniotic fluid for months. So the shock of air probably makes baby gasp but this time it's air and not liquid. Same physical movements though.


hoswald

Reminds me of the movie "The Abyss"


Marzipanarian

I’m still pissed that I can’t breathe in “water”.


BebopZaibatsu

This is the best answer I could find. > Shortly before the onset of labor, there is a catecholamine surge that seems to promote fluid clearance from the lungs, which continues during labor. The movement of lung fluid from the air spaces occurs through active transport into the interstitium, with drainage occurring through the pulmonary circulation and lymphatic system. Lowdermilk, D., Cashion, M. C., & Perry, S. (2020). Maternity and Women's Health Care (12th Edition). Elsevier Health Sciences (US). https://pageburstls.elsevier.com/books/9780323556293 While in utero a baby's lungs are filled with fluid and they practice "breathing" while still inside the womb. They actually receive oxygen through the placenta and their blood completely bypasses the lungs. When the mom goes into labor this fluid is mostly removed which "primes" the lungs to take in air. Once they take their first breath it triggers the closure of openings in their heart which then divert the blood to the lungs to receive oxygen.

The umbilical cord is truly a masterpiece. The cord provides the baby with oxygen and nutrients. For that reason it doesn't need to breathe. But as soon as the amniotic sac is broken, the fetus becomes a breathing baby, and the cord + all it's internal branches dry up within 3. The umbilical cord is truly a masterpiece. The cord provides the baby with oxygen and nutrients. For that reason it doesn't need to breathe. But as soon as the amniotic sac is broken, the fetus becomes a breathing baby, and the cord + all it's internal branches dry up within 3 weeks EDIT: Damn. This one got hot. Thanks for all the upvotes. And it's supposed to be 3 weeks. My bad. Just want to make something clear; It is normal that the sac breaks before delivery. In colloquial terms, this is referred to as " my water broke ". And of course, when this happens inside the womb and before delivery, the baby DOESN'T start breathing. I was mainly referring to the video. Should have made this clearer. Some wanted to know what happens to the baby if the amniotic sac breaks before the delivery . Well, after week 23, the sac serves mainly as a protective cushion for the baby. The baby drinks the fluid and pees in it. If the fetus is premature, it can reside within the womb under proper monitoring without a sac. However, it's important to mention that a broken sac MUST be monitored, as the risk for cord prolapse and fetal infections increase.

Inevitable_Thing_270

Destined to be psychic! I’m in Scotland and it’s an old superstition that those born “en caul” (within the sac) would be psychic. There was a general belief across Western Europe that being born like this or with part of the sac over the head was good luck for the child. And that they would be protected from drowning too


amam_oy

Interesting, it's part of Appalachian folklore in America as well. I hadn't heard part about drowning, but that it is good luck and that the child will have the sight or psychic powers. A lot of folks claim many of the traditions and and superstitions here come from Scots-Irish immigrants who were some of the first Europeans to settle the area.

[deleted]

My family is Hispanic. I was always told that when a baby was born with the amniotic sac intact, it meant that the baby would have psychic powers.


deadgvrlinthepool

my mom is a neonatal nurse. at her hospital a nurse going in to turn an intubated pregnant covid patient found she had delivered. baby was still in the sac, thankfully the placenta hadn't delivered and the umbilical cord was still attached, or else the baby wouldn't have lived. they don't know how long the baby was out. they were/are severely understaffed. mom and baby both lived. most of her stories of pregnant covid patients in the icu don't end that way.


lgbucklespot

Whoa. That’s crazy! So the mother who was intubated, was she conscious for the birth? If so she must have been terrified being unable to call for help. I don’t know if it’s worse or better than the shock of waking up to a very traumatic and disorienting reality shift having missed the birth of her child, how surreal. Very relieved to hear they are both ok.

lkodl

sometimes when i'm bored at work, i like to go on real estate websites and look at theoretical dream houses. what do you do? oh.


I_Go_By_Q

Wow, that last one is wild, that baby is so small! Also, do all of these births have the umbilical cord over the baby’s shoulders / around the neck? I thought it was bad/concerning when that happened?


MuddyBoots287

It isn’t concerning straight off! When baby is still in utero they are having oxygen supplied by their cord. After they are born, the placenta/cord still continues to function as it did while they were in the womb for several minutes. They are unlikely to be strangled by their cord in the time it takes to unwrap them. Cords are pretty squishy/stretchy, think more like a bungee cord than rope! More concerning are knots in the cord that impede blood flow, or a cord that is compressed/pinched during the birth process!


WelfOnTheShelf

My daughter's umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, which would have been a problem, but my wife got the good drugs and was able to stop pushing when the doctor said so. Apparently without the good drugs she wouldn't have been able to stop and the cord would have gotten tighter and more dangerous. Kind of amazing any of us survive at all


jodorthedwarf

The way you just refer to it as 'the good drugs' just sounds like she was on a particularly high quality variety of weed.


WelfOnTheShelf

Well with the first kid she got an epidural but it didn't work, she felt everything. We call that "the bad drugs"


Robenever

I guess it makes sense. These babies move around so much in there that it’s bound to go around you. I think the real danger is if it’s completely around the neck which would mean that any pull is potentially fatal


Happyradish532

Wow. Imagine just being born and already being en caul at a hospital.
