Babies are generally born head-first, and the g-forces would be enough to break it's neck once out of the vagina...then the placenta comes flying out to add insult to injury!
I suppose it's made by a comic who confused malice with practical joke. I like the inventor.
I know I am ancient but "women these days" are planning their epidurals at the same time and with the same enthusiasm as they are planning gender reveal events.
I had an epidural during my first labor...it didn't work and instead screwed up my back for years. I nearly had baby #2 in the car and I refused an epidural with baby #3. And we had this weird thing about picking out a boy's name and a girl's name - because we didn't freakin' know ahead of time. The gender reveal happened in the delivery room with no explosions, balloons, or confetti.
