I dunno whether to mark this NSFW or not but do your worst.

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.

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.

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.
