In, while passing through the birth canal the lungs gets squeezed which helps expel the fluid that is in them, once the baby emerges the lungs are able to expand and the baby takes it's first deep breath in to help clear the rest of the fluid. There's other stuff that happens too but I think that's all you need for this question.

The baby takes its first breath inside the mother. The baby looses all the ambiotic fluids (fluid that surrounds the baby in the womb) when it is being born. Because it is such a tight fit, that forces all the fluids out of the lungs. When it is in the mother the umbilical cord takes care of the oxygen. When the baby is born the doctors help to get all the fluids out of there mouth and lungs. That is what they do in the birthing room. They also pat the back of the back to get the fluids moving and coming out.

In! The first breath inflates the baby's lungs for the first time in their life! That's why they make sure that all the mucus and fluid is out of baby's mouth as soon as it's born,so as to not move anything into the lungs!

after birth. sometimes if there is merconium in the fluid then the doctors wont let the babies take their first breath until the docs are ready for suctioning. by the way if you dont know what meconium is, its the babies first bowel movement.

In or out? Of what?
In or out of the birth canal? - out.
Breathing in or out? - in.

I would say in, you have to air in your lungs before you can let it out.
