Childbirth mess.

Not being a father nor ever witnessed a childbirth, I was just wondering if the mothers (and to a lesser extent, the fathers) are weary of all the gunk that comes out with the baby.

What I have seen on TV, it looks like some roadkill has just popped out with blood, gunk, jellyfish, a string of sausages and amidst it all a little bundle in the shape of a baby. The midwife or nurse then wraps the baby and the gunk in a blanket and hands it straight to the mother. I am sure in the olden days they had a bath first. The mother often kisses her newborn whilst the baby is still all manky.

My question is,

Is the joy of childbirth and subsequent smarting of you minny stretched to its hilt, more over-powering than worrying about tasting some baby gunk and getting your maternity gown all gooey with muck?

Also, how long is it til they bathe the baby, and does the gunk smell?

Recreational drugs and their effect on people and society.

Legend, a bit of hand pain is nothing compared to passing a babies head - I think we should be allowed to grip the 'fertiliser ' around the throat for a fair pain exchange! lol
