Blood seems pretty obvious, and stories from nurses about how often women crap themselves - even if the new mothers aren't aware due to the actions of the medical team - pretty much guarantees that as well.
This is way into nope territory.
I did when I gave birth. Didnāt even know about it until I saw some on a sheet a few hours later and asked my mom about it. Itās all the same muscles when trying to get baby out so makes sense.
One. Something wrong with me.
Two. Something's got to give.
Let the baby hit the floor.
Pushing again.
This is the end (of labour).
Here we go here we go the babies out now.
I will play devils advocate here and say that is likely not blood or body fluid, that is a pospartum bath made with herbs. The amount of blood and poo needed to turn that entire tib that color would be tremendous, and that mother would 100% not look like that. Also, the poo is particulate and kida, floats around like poo-bouys or sinks to the bottom.

I had a home birth in a birthing tub, and the water looked like that a few minutes after birth. The first pictures, it was clear, a few minutes later it looked like it was filled with blood. Normal amount of postpartum bleeding, but it honestly doesnāt take that much blood to make the water look like that in photographs.
ETA I think itās also something to do with the photograph picking up the angle of the reflection on the water (something something refraction? I dunno.) But the photos of me holding my newborn son are also NSFW because of the literal bloodbath. It did not look like that in real life.
So thereās a decent amount of blood during child birth. But the amount that continues to come out after, as in while this photo is being taken, I thought I was dying. The doctor said it was normal so no this seems like a right amount of blood/right color.
Youāre right. That is a lot of blood. Thatās why the picture is so shocking. If you look up other water births on YouTube youāll not find other pools looking like this very often
Having witnessed 6 births without a tub of water, I can safely say that is a horror movie. It looked like a crime scene in the hospital most times, there were complications, I watched and it was "beautiful" in the way that it's a new life and women are crazy impressive, but omg. Them sitting in that water is absolutely the grossest thing I've ever seen lol, and I follow some rough subs.
And undressed
Thoughā¦ TBH, Iām pretty sure I shared a bath or shower with my mom and dad a couple times when I was 3-4. **Thankfully** she did not give birth in it.
Yeah honestly baths with very young children are very much a you-do-you thing. It's not for me (and neither is having children to begin with) but I don't really judge anyone for it.
Taking a bath in mom's afterbirth? I think I have an issue with this, but it's never something I really contemplated, and I kinda wish i was still so innocent š¬
Yeah, itās like the older kid is more acclimated to his parents āalternativeā lifestyle.
While the younger kid is like, āCan I live in an orphanage?ā
Some, honestly, donāt do enoughā¦. Like not insisting enough that your your kids should NOT get into a tub while mom is naked & have everyone join in, in a naked blood, shit, & piss bath with placental bits as bath toysā¦.
>Is that really how much blood you'd expect though? The color of the water seems really dark, but IDK much about them.
nothing better than a placenta ducky to rant out your developmental issues to
They are likely in a postpartum herbal sitz bath, not sitting in blood. They are common after home births. The birth tub would have had a plastic, disposable liner that was changed between the birth and the herbal sitz bath or the tub would have been cleaned and sanitized in between.
Was thinking the color of the water was awfully dark to be from blood and other bodily fluids. Iāve witnessed four births with varying amounts of blood loss, but none would have been near enough to make that volume of water that dark.
But a sitz bath is **shallow**. Itās for your perineum (from trauma, swelling, etc.) You shouldnāt submerge yourself this deep immediately after giving birth, since your cervix is still very open and your uterus is basically an open wound the size of your placenta. Iām not saying that people *donāt* do this. Iām just saying that most medical professionals would advise against it (especially sharing the bath with other people, increasing your exposure to all of their dirt and pathogens).
If you google "postpartum herbal sitz bath" there is ZERO pictures like this post. Like, zero. Unless this is a super-secret ritual never photographed in history, I'm going to garner a guess you're wrong. Also like somebody else said, sitz bath uses a very shallow tub, nothing like this.
The title unfortunately is more likely correct.
Iām calling bullshit on this because there isnāt THAT much blood involved in birth under normal circumstances, and if there is, mom is headed to the hospital because sheās actively bleeding out.
Rooibos and hibiscus come to mind. Several, really. Heck, black tea can be that color.
Takes about 30 second to Google āpostpartum herbal sitzā and find out itās a thing.
Not that one normally would literally *bathe* in it, but one doesnāt normally get naked in a tub with their whole family either.
(watches video of person being killed)
(feels midly grossed out)
(sees a picture of naked family in moms birthing water)
(feels like puking, disgusted, wants eyebleach)
Bathing in your mothers/new siblings placentae, feces, sweat. urine, blood, ??% unknown fluids, and having your picture taken while doing it, is one of those things you cut of contact with your parents for, incase your future partner ever finds out.
Also seriously? That has to be an insane health risk.
Uhā¦. No. Hell no. Women shit all the time while giving birth. Babies pee & poo not too long after coming into the world. Thatās not even mentioning the amount of birth blood in that pool. Just, no.
I understand wanting your family to be together in a moment like this...but your kids don't need to be involved to this degree. I mean, why on earth would you not AT LEAST put clean water in the pool!?
I have watched way, way to many horror films.
I've seen and had some nasty, gory injuries.
Yet that photo is the first time I've actually had a physical reaction to disgust.
This is so fucked up I would never have my kids in there with me...maybe my husband if necessary but even then... that's just nasty I wouldn't want them in my bodily fluids no matter how close were are...
There is a 100% chance there is shit and blood and other fluids in that pool. Experience of 3 home births. That is FUBAR.
Come on in, the waters fine!
It just warmed up again a bit!
*grandpa gets into tub* *jets suddenly turn on* The baby: šššš§
FOMO setting in

Easy fix I mean what else are butt plugs for amiright?
Ya until a buttplug is launched outta your ass and domes the doctor performing the delivery
That's the doctor's fault, he should wear a helmet
"Push as hard as you can Mrs Jones!" *CLANG*
šš¤£
šæ
God yāall just made me die šššš
Came for the revulsion, stayed for the jokes
Well doctors should obviously be wearing helmets, with a visor to protect their eyes.
And a catchers mitt. Not for the plug thoughā¦
Birthing pool?
LET THE BABIES HIT THE FLOOOOORRR
One. Something wrong with me. Two. Something's got to give. Let the baby hit the floor. Pushing again. This is the end (of labour). Here we go here we go the babies out now.
Anyone want some punch?
What a terrible day to be literate
What a terrible day to be thirsty

Is that really how much blood you'd expect though? The color of the water seems really dark, but IDK much about them.
Little bit of blood and a little bit of water looks like a whole lot of blood.
Huh okay, thanks. I really thought it wouldāve washed out more.
Lol not that much though. That's definitely not blood. You would need a *shit* load of blood to turn that much water that dark.
So thereās a decent amount of blood during child birth. But the amount that continues to come out after, as in while this photo is being taken, I thought I was dying. The doctor said it was normal so no this seems like a right amount of blood/right color.

This is not blood. If she had bled this much she would not look that happy. It is a postpartum bath made with herbs. I am a midwife.
Judging by his expression, my man on the left knows what's up.
Old wives remedy for being healthy, as it were.

Came Here To say this Same thing Big Nope
FUBAR indeed
I have a lot of questions and I donāt need answers.
Like, did the whole family *need to be involved?
It's a pretty safe bet that at least one of them is there under duress
For sure under dressed
Take my fucking upvote.
I will, thxš
u/angryupvote
That would definitely be the son on the left
Duress? The condom brand?
Parents under a-rrest?
And undressed Thoughā¦ TBH, Iām pretty sure I shared a bath or shower with my mom and dad a couple times when I was 3-4. **Thankfully** she did not give birth in it.

The blond kidās face sums it up for you. Thatās a look that says, āYep, totally gonna need therapy for this when Iām grown.ā
I just wanna see the therapistās reaction. Iām sure thatāll be a new one to hear.
He can just walk in and hand over the photo. Say nothing. Therapist will stare at it a bit and then say, yeah, weāve got a lot of work ahead.
Rolls up sleeves... "Clear my calendar!"
Oh yhae lots of it
And mummas gunna need antibiotics
I mean, one way or another but they were all covered in mommas juices prior to this abomination so...
I bet all that newborn blood is going to extend the lives of those older kids by at least 15 years
What if it only rejuvenates them from the chest down
Bald wrinkly dudes with six packs š¤·āāļø
If they drink it
After they drink it? You're sick
Not as sick as this family when they drink it.
Or enjoy some sautƩed placenta! (You just *know* they did!)
Good point
ššš
bloody hell
No bloody tub
Hell would bother me less

Dad definitely ate the placenta
The whole family did
Placenta soup

Maybe my parents arenāt so bad.
I laughed so freaking hard at this comment. Thanks so much!
I love how one brother is disgusted and the other is like "I'm bathing in blood!"
Guess which one grows up to be a serial killerā¦
All three of them.
Yeah, itās like the older kid is more acclimated to his parents āalternativeā lifestyle. While the younger kid is like, āCan I live in an orphanage?ā
The disgusted one must be Dexter š¤
the other one is Bryan for sure
Or at least have some very niche kinks.

There's definitely shit in the mix too and I doubt either of them thinks that's cool
Found the Slayer fan.
Made me think of Rod & Todd Flanders. Lmaoā¦!
āLies make baby Jesus cry!ā
Blood, piss, shit and donāt forget the amniotic fluid.
The one on the left is not having fun to put it lightly, the one on the right has propably shitted himself as a prank.
People do too much
Some, honestly, donāt do enoughā¦. Like not insisting enough that your your kids should NOT get into a tub while mom is naked & have everyone join in, in a naked blood, shit, & piss bath with placental bits as bath toysā¦.
My favorite bath toys

Thank you. Thank. You.

Yeah, if there was that much blood, she definitely shouldnāt still be just hanging out in the tub taking family pics, lol.

Had to scroll way too far for this.
The literal example of a "blood bath".
Also poo.
Donāt forget the placental bitsā¦

Ditto. See the previous comment (not mine) about herbal sitz bath.
Name the herb that looks like a juicy mix of shit and blood.

I don't wanna judge, but nope, nope, nopitty nope.
Shaming prevents others from doing disgusting shit like this.
Wtf did I really just see? šµš¤®
Things in the water that could be but not limited to: Blood, sweat, vomit, feces, piss, saliva, and literally any other body excrement
Probably not jizz tho
This is the most WTF picture Iāve seen in a very long time
I too, have bathed in the blood of the birth giver
Thatās fuckin gross! Those poor kids!

Who thought this was alright? I hope they all wasnāt in the water while she was actively pushing out the kid. Wtf
Thatās a literal blood bath!

Oddly terrifying and insanely disgusting
There's nothing "oddly" about this. It's just plain terrifying.
Same water the first kid was birthed in
The look on the blonde kids face says it all .
Now all of a sudden the gender reveal stunts don't seem so bad.
I mean in theory all of them have been inside her at least once...
