Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's so cool to see. The head comes out so slowly but then once the shoulders are out, the baby just pops right out. Amazing.

I'm a bit squeamish, so I arranged myself so as to be seated basically next to my wife's head, facing the wall, and was laser focused on holding her hand and maintaining eye contact with her.

Meanwhile, the delivering doctor was narrating a play by play as our kid went from just barely crowning to head fully out in three contractions, and then she just had to maneuver his shoulder free and he popped out on the fourth push. Three random things I will never forget from that night:

The doctor seeing the umbilical cord and announcing "That's a man that likes to eat!"
The doctor further complimenting my wife that she "rocked that thing out like it was her job"
One of the nurses looking into the hazmat bucket they'd packed the placenta into and muttering "Jesus Christ..."

Overall, 10/10, never doing it ever again.

I watched it on youtube once. "So cool" is about the last descriptor I would use. "Disgusting", and "fuckin nasty" are some of the words that came out of my mouth during that video.

I think you've got the glow of parenthood on that memory.

Did she poop? I remember watching one on YouTube while eating a banana and the lady pooped herself while pushing

Still ate the banana

Actually no, she did not. I had thought we all pooped when we gave birth but nope. Now I'll have to wonder forever if I pooped or not.

Nah, it was my friend's kid. I was there to support her. I've been the one giving birth before and it was just a blur of screaming and pain, but from the other side it was so cool. I'm not squeamish with blood and stuff so I could just focus on the fact that an entire person just popped out of my friend. What the fuck.
