Was that a wrestling move or a way to deliver a baby?

I saw my first two cesarian sections last friday night, and it proved to be quite an experience. It began as many of the other surgeries have- using the same process to cut open the belly and control the bleeding. I almost got so lost in watching them open the abdomen, because it looked so familiar, that I was surprised to see a little ear sitting their in the middle of things. I particularly enjoyed watching the maneuver used to deliver the baby from the tiny hole they made in the uterus.

The resident flexed her elbow and slammed down on the patient's abdomen, not unlike a WWF move... which sent the baby launching out of the woman's womb. I was particularly pleased to be the one to break the amniotic sac on the 2nd C-section. Stranger still was the fact that the father of the first baby asked if we could take samples from the baby to confirm that it was his child, and that the second mom was a 14 year old girl with eclampsia (seizures during pregnancy). There seems something rather unnatural about ripping a baby from the cozy womb they've been resting in, and I think i'll do it the good old fashioned way when it's my turn.
