Child birth is beautiful until it’s on a floor in a crack house and you can see cockroaches crawling up the wall. My first delivery was when I was an I was a EMT student and my medic preceptor said “you’re up. I’m right here if you need anything, don’t drop the baby, they’re slippery when they came out.” I’d had about 20hrs of training at this point and absolutely none of it had to do with delivering babies.
