      Well, youngtuggzy, unless you’re delivered by a c-section (caesarean section) then when you’re ready you get pushed through the birth canal, head first, via contractions.

      No one ever remembers coming down this dark and slimey (sorry, I had to be gross!) canal so we can’t ask them if they were scared or how it felt but that’s basically how it happens.

      Apparently it’s blummin’ painful. I heard it was like peeing a grape. I don’t know who came up with that and how they came to that conclusion. Did they pee a grape?!
