I know! My first baby was "gently lifted out" - (at 27wks) - I
have the scar to prove it! 2lb baby - hip to hip
scar. Akk!!! Exactly.
My full term baby was not so fortunate.

"gently lifted out"?????
She obviously didn't see the actual birth of her baby...
most often the head has to be wrenched out of the pelvis, usually with
forceps, then squeezed out through the skin, pushed from the top. To
be gently lifted out, it would have to be a 40cm vertical cut into the
uterus...
Ack!
