It’s not that I don’t appreciate the beauty of childbirth; in fact, aside from the less glamorous moments (you know what I mean), I do find it extraordinary (in theory). However, if I had the chance to observe my own birth, whether as a child or even now, I doubt it would resemble that heartwarming clip.
