why is it so difficult for humans to give birth, whereas for animals, babies tend to just slip out?

How many animals have you seen give birth?
And mammals are mammals.
I have breeding cats and the mother sure seem to feel pain. And my dog sure felt pain.
On my grandparents farm...the cow sure seemed to MOOOO loud as the calf came out.

I could say no, seeing that that now not all animals deliver beginning within the identical means. Humans have very colossal offspring and such a lot typically have them separately. Because of evolutionary constraints, human toddlers ought to go out out a small canal which motives the mum soreness in view that of the stretching (and tearing) worried. If you appear at different varieties of animals, there may be really a variety of dimension of offspring and quantity of the ones offspring. I'm definite many examples comprise painful births, however there are certain to be exceptions. Marsupials (like kangaroos and koalas) deliver beginning to very tiny offspring that do such a lot in their developing/constructing inside the mum's pouch. I suppose the approach of beginning for some thing so small would not be very painful in any respect. If you incorporated egg-laying into the equation, there are much more severe examples (evaluate birthing hundreds of thousands of tiny eggs like fish typically do to the unmarried egg a kiwi chicken lays).

Yes, animals experience pain just as much as we do.
As for the 'slipping out', as the human brain became more sophisticated through the development of the human species, our heads became larger thus harder to push out through the birth canal. This is where a body chemical, relaxin, relaxes the female body's ligaments to provide a more wider opening during birth.
Hope this clarifies things.

all mammals experience pain when they give birth. did you know that when a dog gives birth to her first puppy she eats the placenta to help her milk have the right nutrients? it looks like the babies just slip out, but in reality, they feel the same contractions. they may not be as hard or serious, but they are still pushing when they have contractions.

of course ...animals are like human!you have no idea what they feel while giving birth but actually they are also laboring like we do...as a matter of fact some animals are worst because of having alot of babies on their tummy,they need to push alot...i've seen a pig giving birth and she's pushing one at a time for 12 piglets...isn't it more harder than human?what do u think?

your weren't raised on a farm I take it? Animals are in pain.. I have seen them die giving birth. One time I saw a cat with her eyes rolled back in her head from pushing and she was panting so hard that her throat must have been dry.. but she was to tired to drink. I saw a sheep bellowing in pain and finally had to be shot because the baby was too big, once the mother was our of her misery, the baby was cut out and lived. i saw a cow who couldn't get her baby out. We had to get a chain and go inside her and attatch the chain to the calf legs while still insdie her.. and when she pushed, we pulled on the chain.. (that is a very common practice on farms), and the baby was stillborn. i have seen rabbits in labour, pushing out up to 9 babies in one litter, some are in so much pain that they walk around and sometimes squish their babies to death (more common in the younger less experiences mothers)

I think it's because animals' heads are so small. My cat was tiny and she had 5 kittens, and didn't make a sound the whole time. They just came right out, she cleaned them and they started nursing.
Human heads are really large in proportion to the body.
