The one of the woman who just gave birth looks like the child just crawled out on it's own. A little creepy.

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

From my experience that's fairly realistic. When my first child was born, after 36 hours of labor, it took me a while to figure out why in hell there was a naked baby lying on my stomach. I'd totally forgotten why I was dealing with the pain, and had just focused on dealing with the pain.

Well, you would know better than I. I just assumed they cut the cord, etc, before giving the child to the mother.

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

Nope. They put the baby on the mother's belly while they deal with the afterbirth, any stitches, etc. They don't cut the cord for a couple minutes, until after it stops pulsing.

Any day in which I learn something is not a waste. :)
