Screaming Birth	comment	When a character is pregnant in a series, especially a sitcom, there will be the inevitable Screaming Birth. Commonly, TV birth happens mere minutes after the water breaks, precipitating a mad rush (in a taxi) to the hospital, frantic calls to the doctor, and apoplexy (or better yet, a nice dramatic swoon) by the father-to-be. And for some reason, nobody ever decides to take an epidural. As seen in the above quote, the modern workaround for this is having the woman opt for a "natural," drug-free birth, often under the belief that giving birth is a natural part of being a woman she wants to fully experience. This line of logic usually only lasts until the first contraction hits. The rest of the episode is spent with the pregnant character lying flat on her back (the hardest conventional position in which to give birth, but the easiest for doctors and cameras), in pain, sweating, crying, cursing out her husband/boyfriend/babydaddy ("You did this to me! You're never touching me again, you bastard!"), or screaming his name if he's not there, and in many cases, often suddenly developing near superhuman grip strength, being able to suddenly shatter every bone in the hand of any poor sap who to tells her to squeeze their hand to help with the pain. Often she will have the lower part of her body inside some sort of tent, with the attending medics having to duck inside. Eventually, she's able to push a kid out of her birth canal with all attendant drama — don't be surprised, though, if the writers throw in one last twist, such as Surprise Twins! This ends with a damp but otherwise perfectly clean (three-month old) baby being held by an exhausted but beatifically smiling mother and an ecstatic father or father figure. Just don't expect to see the delivery of the afterbirth, or the stitching-up of any perineal tears, either of which would no doubt spoil the mood. You will occasionally see the cutting of the umbilical cord by the nervous father, always obscured from direct sight and often Played for Laughs. Expect the next shot of the mother to have her fully clothed beneath the waist. She must have given birth right through her pants. The chances are good that the mother will be unable to make it to the hospital and will deliver anywhere she might find herself (note: Never take the elevator if you will be riding with a pregnant woman or are near-term yourself). Can be combined with Locked in a Freezer, where the pregnant woman is the "danger" and the other characters have to help her give birth. Since the 1970s, this is usually preceded by a Lamaze Class earlier in the season. In Real Life, Screaming Births can be Truth in Television, especially when there are complications, but it's often a self-fulfilling prophecy if a woman tenses up in anticipation. In any event, it generally isn't the birth, which is almost always the shortest part of the process, that is painful, and is done without medication at any rate. The painful part is the labor that precedes it, which can last anywhere from two hours to three days.

It takes the entire episode (at least a day) for Vick to have the baby, and while she sweats and groans a lot, there's no screaming and she does so while on a tilted table. Lassiter comically DOES faint, although he claims he was just resting his eyes and fell over slightly. Played straight when Marlowe Lassiter goes into labor "Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up" in Season 8. They drive her to the hospital in a food truck.

Except for Winry, who, despite being a mechanical genius, knows what to do from her parents' books and coaches everyone into doing what needs to be done. And it gets done to the degree that the doctor who comes in later compliments her on a job well done. Mostly averted though, since the birth takes quite a long time and involves a great deal of blood.

It then switches to a black-and-white fifties-era instructional video, where JD spells it out: Justified when Kim was giving birth to JD's son. At the moment she was under some emotional turmoil and stress like the fact JD doesn't trust her ( she lied about having a miscarriage), he's only with her for the child, all of JD's friends treat her badly and she's worried about raising the child alone. The straw that breaks the camel's back is while she's (painfully) pushing the baby out, she asks if JD will ever forgive her. He says "No." and... well you can guess what happens next.

Granted, the woman is allowed to sit up somewhat while she gives birth, and as the birth is taking place in the middle of an attack and evacuation (with her husband still on-board the ship), she has several perfectly good reasons to scream. The novelization also establishes that Kirk was not born that way in the original timeline, that the altered timeline with the stress brought on by Nero's attack and George Kirk's Heroic Sacrifice forced Winona into premature labor.

Patsy's mother has her on a couch in a silk-strewn artist's garret, running through a loud and pretentious self-narration the entire time. How much of all this "actually happened" is open to debate.

We are dealing with the era before painkillers and anaesthetics became common in obstetric practice; the first arrival of nitrous oxide as a pain reliever comes in Series 2 (1958) and is heralded as a great advance, and there isn't enough of the stuff to go 'round. Thus the rare occasion when it is averted (without the nitrous) all the more profound. One particularly disturbing, unusually high-pitched scream comes right after the doctor has to widen the birth canal with scissors and no anesthetic. There's a Reaction Shot of the husband in another room, horrified.

Screaming Birth / int_94b2ff07	comment	Kevin & Kell: Played with in Kell's case: while she wasn't visibly seen screaming during the birth of Coney, apparently she logged into the 'middle-of-labor' forum and did her screaming there. A weird case in Catherine Aura's case: she mostly gasped a lot. Which is strange, because she's a buzzard, and her egg was already laid, just hatching, so logically, she shouldn't be feeling labor pains at all. In Kevin's telling of the Nativity, Mary (played by Kell), let out one big 'arrgh' and mostly panted through the rest of labor. Tree apparently equates the shedding of pine cones as the equivalent of giving birth. And is quite vocal about it. Fenton, Tree's owner, doesn't even bat an eye. Danielle clearly cries out at the very end of Francis's birth, and is implied to be crying out throughout, but her labor is juxtaposed with the election count between Kevin and Fran Caudal (who, ironically enough, becomes her opponent's sister's midwife). Justified in Lindesfarne's case: she went into labor two weeks early because she was the target of a terrorist attack and ends up having to give birth at the side of a lake with a Delivery Guy whose experience comes down to 'mom is a midwife'. Apparently she was so loud Coney could text everyone a string of emojis pretty accurately describing how she sounded. Averted entirely with Leona: because her half-rhino daughter was so big, natural childbirth was deemed too dangerous for her to try, so she had a c-section.

Screaming Birth / int_984b9cf1	comment	Apparently these were common in novels from the twenties, soon after it became possible to talk about childbirth at all; Flora in Cold Comfort Farm is surprised when someone gives birth easily and reflects that it is not at all like the books she has read. (Inexact quote: "These days, she skimmed through new novels, and if her eye lighted on words like "screaming" or "sweat-dewed brow" or "clutching the bedpost", she put the book firmly back on the shelf".) Somewhat lampshaded with Meriam in the same work. Flora hears the girl screaming and comes to help, only to find that Meriam actually gave birth with little trouble the day before; she just felt that no one had paid her enough attention the first time.

This is why some older media (like Blanche in The Golden Girls) refer to labor pains as "women's curse" and why epidurals were controversial when they were first developed; they were seen as subverting God's will. In Revelation chapter 12, according to the NET Bible translation, John saw the woman clothed with the sun, that "she was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, struggling to give birth."

Screaming Birth / int_ad29dc16	comment	On All in the Family, Gloria begins labor, and steps into a phone booth to let her parents know, then gets stuck. Funny, because of Sally Struthers' deft handling of the physical comedy. She makes it out of the booth in plenty of time, incidentally, as this birth is preceded by a realistically long labor. It was also the first birth scene on American television, and quite realistic— lots of panting, grunting, and sweating, but no screaming, and a very, very boring wait in the white-walled labor room which had a bed, a chair, and one table. Hospitals didn't put TVs in them, and TVs only got a few channels anyway and went off the air at midnight. Gloria's husband Michael was in the room with her as well, making it the first time a TV father (in the US) was in the delivery room, reflecting the fact that American hospitals were just beginning to allow this. This is one of the earlier uses of "will they get there in time," and employs something mundane, a phone booth, as opposed to an elevator or a cab heading into traffic, which you know will be a problem as soon as the actress steps into it. Stepping into a phone booth seems totally innocuous. Struther makes the call to her parents, turns around, and discovers that door is stuck. ( It's important to note that nothing over the top silly, like Struthers being stuck because the booth is too small for a woman who is nine months pregnant; she fits fine. She is stuck in the booth because the door won't open.) If a show tried to use this schtick today, it might not play as well, because the "will they get to the hospital?" is pretty old; it wasn't so cliche back then. And Struthers handles it beautifully. She isn't generally thought of as a physical comic, but she was up for anything the writers of All in the Family threw at her, including this.

Justified in that she was scared out of her wits, had never given birth before, and knew the child was likely to either not be normal or be taken away from her soon after, and in the case of the first situation both of them would probably be killed. Drow in general have an easy time giving birth, and as a result often have dozens of children. In the main story Shinae is first reintroduced after the timeskip undergoing one of these, which turns out to be entirely justified since the baby was somehow corrupted by her taint in the womb and born horribly mutated, including being covered in spikes.

Screaming Birth / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon: As Queen Aemma says to her daughter Rhaenyra: "We have royal wombs, you and I. The childbed is our battlefield." And indeed, the first season features several painful birthing scenes (and most don't end well). When Viserys comes to see Aemma after being told her labor isn't going well, she's howling in agony on the birthing bed. It's justified, as her unborn baby is in breech and all efforts to turn him - which is painful in and of itself - have been unsuccessful. Viserys asks if there's nothing the maester can do for the pain, though he states they can only give her so much milk of the poppy as they risk harming the baby. She stops screaming after a while because she's drugged and too exhausted. Then she starts screaming again both when she realizes they're going to cut the baby out of her and throughout the procedure, which is done without anesthesia and bleeds her to death. Years later, Laena ends up in the same situation while delivering her third child with Daemon. Once she realizes that she isn't going to survive the birth and her child likely won't either, she cuts the screaming short, drags herself to Vhagar, and tearfully orders the dragon to end her suffering. After giving birth to her third child (Joffrey), Rhaenyra has this exchange with her father Viserys: By the time of her sixth pregnancy, Rhaenyra is sent into premature labor by the heavy stress from the news of both her father's death and The Coup of the Hightowers to usurp the throne. She pulls the baby out all by herself while in pain, and her dragon Syrax feels it and thrashes about. The baby turns out to have died in her womb already. By contrast, Alicent notes that the three times she gave birth were relatively easy. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's not related to her husband.

Screaming Birth / int_cd4c6bb9	comment	The Steven Spielberg mini-series Into the West has Jacob Wheeler's Sioux wife giving birth to their youngest child while they're briefly living with his parents; one of Jacob's cousins is surprised by her stoicism, saying that "She didn't cry out. Not once!", which leads to a rather racist comment by another cousin who believes that the Indians "don't feel pain. At least not like we do." Ironically, this cousin is later kidnapped by and married off to an Indian; when she eventually goes native and willingly becomes his wife, the birth of their child is shown immediately after it happened, with the implication that she didn't scream either.

Taking all this into account - not to mention the pain she must be enduring having natural childbirth to someone with Arnold's unusually shaped head - she has no problem showing her displeasure at her situation when her husband Miles tries to help her with her Lamaze breathing. Which is followed by a pretty intense scene with Stella screaming off-screen while their friend Eduardo witnesses the destruction caused by the volcano eruption, which actually seems to be triggered by the screaming. Everything calms down once Arnold is born.

Screaming Birth / int_f163bd9f	comment	The author of the series ElfQuest, Wendy Pini, made a very deliberate aversion to the screaming birth scenario at the end of the first major arc. True, it happens during a moment of great significance, but the mother is sitting up halfway, supported by her husband, and their two little children (roughly 3 and 5) stand by watching. It's a joyous event, and there is sweat and strain but no screaming or negative emotions. The midwife takes the little baby, cord still attached, and lays him on the mother's stomach, and the whole family cuddles up together. Not quite as joyous, but much later when Kahvi gives birth, she's squatting over an animal skin, holding onto bars, sweating and straining, while a tribesmate plays a flute. Again, no screaming or negative emotions. This is the general case with every shown birth to date. Also quite a breath of fresh air, to treat it as a joyous and natural occasion with the mother-to-be as agent instead of patient. Anyway, the fact that elves have a two-year gestation period means they have plenty of time to prepare... One of the later storylines showed Skywise's mother resisting the process of labor, as she's been captured by humans and fears they'd kill or abandon her baby if she gives birth. Suppressing her contractions is apparently far more painful than yielding to them in the end.

The final straw is when Daphne sees the birthing video of the couple who originally suggested the natural birth. The mother is loudly screaming and threatening everyone in the room.

Then again, according to dates given in the series, she was pregnant for about thirteen months. Averted by one woman who shares her room who reacts to her contractions by humming gently even as she nears delivery. To help Rachel prepare for Emma's birth Phoebe lends her a friend's birthing video, which is apparently nothing but the mother screaming at the top of her lungs. Chandler and Monica subvert this with the baby they've arranged to adopt. The birth mother doesn't even realize she's in labor for a while, thinking she's just having stomach cramps. And, after everyone realizes the baby's coming, it's Monica who starts panicking and the birth mother who, in mid-contraction, has to calm her down.
