I’m no botanist, but shouldn’t it be giving birth to a baby skellington?
I am a botanist, and yes, yes it should
Can confirm
Source: i was the skellington
The baby skeleton is inside a fleshy protective layer that will be shed later.
I’m glad my mom has skin and other organs.
Wow, look at mr. dermally privileged over here. Born with a semi-permeable membrane protecting your vital organs. Must be nice
You know you’re just propagating the evil skeleton stereotype with that attitude, buster.
That’s ableist
Hey, I’m not anti-skeleton. Though she does have early osteoporosis so hers is letting her down…
Are there any doctors in the house? Because I’d swear that looks like they used the model of a male skeleton here.
I’m a doctor and I can tell it’s right because there’s no penis bone.
So you’ve confirmed that the skeleton is probably human then, and not a primate?
is probably human then, and not a primate?
In the same way that a sparrow is not a bird
My reply was more about humans not having a penis bone, although most primates do.
It is actually a male skeleton based on the pelvic bone. If this is indeed a female skeleton, then the woman will not survive giving birth to this child due to Trauma induced Post partum hemorrhage due to Lateral diameter insufficiency in a female with Android pelvis. I would have sent her to C section as soon as she went into labour, preferably even before that.
Thank you for that! I’m a computer tech, so the furthest thing from having any real medical knowledge, but I’ve seen enough to think that those dimensions just looked really wrong and comparisons to real skeletons online just seemed to reinforce that belief.
So that’s why they call it a miracle.
The bones usually make a bit more place during pregnancy… and this skeleton looks male.
It looks female to me. Look at the pubic arch.
Oh, I’m looking.
Did you just assume that skeleton’s gender?
Somebody made a graphic of 3 year old me’s understanding of childbirth…
That is not a normal position right
My wife gave birth like this, right on the living room floor and my daughter came out in an egg. The whole thing happened so quick, the midwife only arrived a few moments before she dropped, lucky as she needed to cut the egg open and get my daughter out.
Meanwhile I was lying on the sofa with a broken leg trying to stop our cat from eating everything.This would make an amazing Renaissance painting
I like how you describe her as “in an egg” lol. She was still inside the amniotic sac. The majority of the time, the amniotic sac ruptures prior to delivering the baby. The baby is delivered first and then the placenta follows soon after. But when both are delivered together with the sac entirely intact, it has a special name called an “en caul” birth.
Legend has it that babies born en caul, or “in their waters” will never drown at sea.

Can one say your daughter’s a cute chick? Does she still squawk from time to time?
Off-topic, but do you put that license link in your comments as a way to say that you don’t agree with them being scrapped for commercial usage?
The link is giving me a “couldnt_find_post” error
Yeah. I don’t know why but I also can’t open it, shared it using Jerboa. But the reason is basically AI scraping and that AI/LLM’s can spit out their training data so that notice could show up there. They provided this article: https://stackdiary.com/chatgpts-training-data-can-be-exposed-via-a-divergence-attack/
This was a very interesting read, thanks for the link.
Hammer, meet head of nail 👍 Specifically commercial AI usage.
It’s one you can use. The position we normally see is actually not really all that great for childbirth. It generally leads to more tearing, but doctors use it for easy access. Squatting or bent over like that can be easier and more comfortable for the woman. It’s just harder to get all up in there to see what’s going on.
Its not abnormal. I’m no midwife, but I recall from my childbirth class, its one of a few main positions used.
Sunny side up!
That baby is positioned upside-down. They should be facing backwards, then the back of the neck pivots against the pubic bone during delivery.
Very normal. My partner gave birth in this position. The stirrups position is abnormal and often worse.
I think you’re talking about the position of the baby in the womb, right? Not the woman? Normally yeah, the baby would be facing the other way (still headfirst)
This is the one thing this post gets right. Hands and knees is better because then the baby can move downward, if you are on your back you have to push it up and out.

Be right back. I gotta call my mom.
