There was a trend a while back of underwater childbirths (dunno how big it is now) - since the baby was not yet breathing air, they'd pop the little dumplings out in a swimming pool or tub and let 'em loose. It's supposed to be easier on the mother, as well.
lol the narrator cracks me up, but this is still interesting.
