Set up a camera and run the video to a nearby viewing room

OOP either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that labor can take hours, and is completely unpredictable. There’s also the issue of finding a delivery room with space to accommodate five observers, in addition to the other people who absolutely need to be there.
This isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but the practicalities are significant.

They can watch video of live births at anytime without all the effort of coordination.

Damn your right, this kind of just ruined the post for me.

Don’t mushroom trips also take hours?

They are relatively short, they should do LSD just to be sure!

Maybe 4 hours. LSD will last maybe 8 hours so perhaps a better(?) choice

I think the mushroom trips feel like they take hours to the person taking it, but really hardly any time passes at all.
I wouldn’t know. Haven’t had a chance to do it yet.

Imagine 8 hours of toddlers watching a birth.

It is definitely a bad idea because such a trip, especially in an unpredictable setting like this, can turn upside down real quick and the last thing a woman giving birth needs is some guys freaking out and needing the personnels attention. If you really respect the act of giving birth you should minimize the risks of it going wrong (you could argue that theyre getting paid and its their choice to take the risk, but thats kind of like saying sex workers could do an other job if they dont enjoy it). The same goes for people who want to visit in the first few days after birth, just because theyre “so excited for the baby they cant wait to see it”. Think of the woman who went through hell a few hours ago and probably feels like a truck hit her in the face right now. Leave her the f alone. If they invite you, cool.
