why do newborns only cry when their full body is out of the vagina?

326 views

A bit more context. When the baby comes out it usually comes out head first. That means the baby’s head and face will come out before the rest of the body. But what I want to know is why when the entire head and face is out but not the body it dosent dosen’t cry but when the entire body comes out it starts crying. Sorry for weird wording, I’m not that good at explaining stuff. Also sorry if this is against the rules. It’s not my intent to be weird or anything, I’m just curious.

When the baby’s head is out, but the rest of the body is not, the chest is in the birth canal/vagina. Babies need a really big breath to inflate their lungs for the first time, which they can’t achieve when their chest and abdomen are squeezed tight. However some babies do try to cry, but it’s more of a grimace
