Fun fact! It’s more dangerous to be pregnant than a cop. 111 reported cop deaths out of 737k-850k (in 2025): 0.00013-0.00015 Between 27.6-106.3 deaths per 100k live births depending on race and circumstances: 0.000276-0.00106. Even th most privileged pregnant folks are twice as likely to die as a cop.
as a nurse, giving birth is BEAUTIFUL. it is bittersweet to hear a little tiny ickle bickle baby take his first breath and cry his first cry. also pregnant bellies literally look good on everyone. they look kinda funky in certain positions but they’re sooooooo cutesie ahhhh i love it
We’re built to accommodate birthing humans with huge brains, that’s why it’s such a difficult and dangerous process and why human babies come out so helpless. They’re basically premature in a way because if they came out at the same stage of development as other animals, they’d probably be toddler sized or bigger
