Looking at Hollywood as a real “delivery room” expert over here.
Have you ever seen a labor or birth scene on TV or in a movie, and realized that it’s so obviously inaccurate? That it’s been either: way over-dramatized, or way downplayed — just for the sake of the scene?
And you’re like, wow, that would NEVER happen in real life!
As someone whose best friend is a gynecologist, I’ve been exposed to years of anecdotes from the Labor & Delivery Department, little known facts about things like “placenta,” and pictures of babies.
