Childbirth. It's been three times now, and it's so bad. Worse that Boy Scout summercamp latrines. Worse than when a dog farts after eating people food. Worse than a septic tank. Worse than opening a fridge left unplugged and full of food for a month.
I've smelled all these horrible things and more, and childbirth is the worst.
Like.....what......I have been in several and never thought it was anywhere near the worst smell. 😂
There’s definitely a smell, but I would hesitate to call it the worst. Definitely caught me off guard though.
Um…what part? I’ve been with my wife for one natural birth and one c section and recall no smell
Same here. I smelled nothing.
Been right by my wife’s side for both of my kid’s births, I also don’t remember any smells at all. I’m wondering though if that’s because of all the adrenaline in the moment your brain doesn’t think to consider
Yeah I just did a google search and doesn’t seem like the consensus is a “bad” smell at all including doctors and nurses who’ve delivered hundreds of babies.
