What I find to be the most striking about birth is how controversial it is for humans, but not for other non-human animals. A necessary process that keeps the population from depleting, a natural process, but it doesn't seem that way for us people. Due to us being more "advanced" we analyze and think too much, causing us to see from various angles such as the negative aspects of giving birth. All animals give birth to contribute to the resistance of extinction, but because we are the dominant species in smarts and numbers, we have the luxury to even choose what is needed in one's life. It really tells us how much of a team player we really are. It seems like with anything natural, our goal is to take it and exploit it until we have full control.
Other than the relations between animal birth and human birth, the psychological state of the mother undergoing the process and the newborn child. What do the babies feel when they first come out? A majority of the time newborn's tend to come out of the womb crying. For me crying implicates fear or pain causing me to assume that babies might possibly be feeling fear the moment of their birth, or possibly pain from the cold temperature of the outside world. It is hard to tell what a baby is thinking, when crying is one of the few ways they can communicate with another human.
