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

322 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.

At birth, the baby’s lungs are filled with fluid. They are not inflated. The baby takes the first breath within about 10 seconds after delivery. This breath sounds like a gasp, as the newborn’s central nervous system reacts to the sudden change in temperature and environment.
