the baby came from known to unknown /cry of joy/despair or is it pre-language language of certain feeling post womb life...it has that poetic ambiguity

Thank you Rose for your insightful comment. Have we ever asked ourselves why a newborn doesn't laugh at birth, but instead cries?

A brilliant work of art that highlights a universal human truth about beginnings. You have cleverly captured the stark existential contrast between the joy of childbirth and the jarring reality of entering the world.

How you made me smile with this sweet film clip! ! ! It seems tragic that the baby's first experience with life is an unpleasant one to him but oh how we mothers want to hear that cry and how frightening it is when it doesn't and everyone rushes over to the baby and things are whispered and things are done that cannot be seen from the delivery table and then- -oh, the baby cries and waves her red arms and legs around! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 10+

a beautiful flow, all happy listing from professionals to parents, then the turn of baby crying, but all relax when the baby cries first breath taken after I was born I refused to cry, the doctor held me by the feet upside down but I did not cry, smacked by, then again harder, third time really hard, but I did not stop crying for about 6 months :)
