  then there was this infrared image of the flacid THIHNG becoming engorged with blood.
  
  we also saw for about 3 seconds, the head of the baby come out of the STRETCHED mouth of the birth canal, in all its gory glory, it's face all srcunched up as if in disgust. and the nurses stuffed this pump thing into its mouth to make it breathe. then, the next 2 seconds we saw the entire piece of baby slip out,
  
  urgh.
  
  i don't EVER want to see that again.
  
  then the sec half of the prac got a few stations we had to go to and listen to the TAs talk about the displays. we traced the development of the human fetus from fertilization right to birth. then also got frog embryo and chick development.
  
  we had to make quick sketches of the displays. i regret to say that my human embryonic ball of cells look rather like a shrivelled bunch of grapes. i don't even want to talk about how my chick embryo looks like. and yes, that's a chick embryo you're looking at, not some extinct prehistoric prelife, if that's what you're thinking. geez.
  
  how bout that for a practical?
  

  practical???
  shall we have the pratical lesson tonight?

  I have delivered some three dozen babies or so in my younger days...the part I hate was performing the episiotomy...did they show you that in the video? We make a cut in the perineum (between the vulva and the anus) to make it easier for the baby's head to emerge and reduce the risk of tears which can cause problems with continence in future. Some used a pair of scissors, others prefer a scalpel blade.
  
  I always gave anaesthesia but some doctors say that you don't need to because with the pain of contractions, the woman cannot feel the pain of the episiotomy at all. Of course, we have to stitch up the wound after the delivery, which is probably more painful.

  does that mean we get to hit girls harder than boys since they have higher threshold of pain??
