First ever MRI video captures baby's birth

Pretty neat to see what goes on during birth, from the inside, instead of just the outside, lol.

The 30-second clip reveals the second stage of labor in which the mother must actively push the fetus from her womb. Taken from the side view of the uterus, the video shows the fetus as it descends down the birth canal. However, the recording was stopped just as the newborn’s head emerged, so that the child’s ears would not be exposed to noise from the MRI.
The technique involves stringing together repeated MRI images of the same part of the body to create the final cinematic video.

That's breathtaking.

although I do worry about the effects of babies and MRI's even while still inside the mother.

Still though...amazing. I still remember watching my daughter born, to this day it's one of the most beautiful things I've EVER seen.

Yea, I thought the same thing. Dont MRI's give off more rads than a normal X-ray machine?

That looks nasty.
At least it's not as bad as a live birth.

I'm going to assume you don't have children?

I watched all 3 of my daughters being born - and was even allowed to cut the cord on my 3rd. There is nothing on this earth more profound and beautiful than watching your children being born.

I have two and I watched neither being born, well actually they were both "cut-out" but I wouldntve watched either way.

That's your opinion.
Birth is a beautiful thing. The actual process is nasty.
To each his own though!
