Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be?

I do not have the parts to experience child birth, but indeed it does not look like a fun experience.

Yeah so my partner gave birth to twins in a c-section.
I also do not have the parts but hoo-boy that was the experience of a lifetime, and not necessarily all fun / happy joyous.
Basically the pregnant person is on the table and they erect a sheet vertically just below her arms. Then dad (me) sits by her head and holds her hand while the magic happens.
It seemed like there was about a dozen people in the theatre, the kids each having their own team of pediatrician and nurses.
It was a complex pregnancy and while everyone is fit and well now the 48 hours following that operation were pretty terrifying.
