(Anonymous) 2013-12-14 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)Women have c-sections and do have a birthing canal so I'm not sure what you're getting at exactly?

(Anonymous) 2013-12-14 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)There's bacteria in the vagina and apparently for a baby to pick up some of this while being born is a good thing and helps create the healthy ecosystems of beneficial bacteria that we all normally have in our bodies. In fact, I've heard that too many C-sections can, after multiple generations of this, lead to people having less diverse and robust bacterial ecosystems and therefore women should, whenever possible, opt to not have a C-section if it's not actually necessary (also, you should not take antibiotics unless it's really important so you don't kill off any of your gut bacteria).
That said, I really can't imagine passing through an adult's colon would be an equally beneficial experience given that it's not meant for babies to come out of and there has been no evolutionary pressure to make it a baby-safe environment. It is merely a poop-safe environment. I suppose that if you're writing mpreg in an AU where men giving birth is a natural thing that can and does happen, you could hand-wave it as men having colons that clean themselves well and manage the bacteria that might be harmful to a baby.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-15 12:19 am (UTC)(link)If by some miracle of medicine the baby managed to implant itself in the intestine wall and not die from lack of placenta supplying blood and oxygen and whatnot (as there is basically no oxygen in the colon) there is also the itty bitty problem of the baby growing in size and blocking the colon (if not outright tearing it apart, as it was not meant to be stretched). In which case all the, uh, poop and assorted bacteria will pop out into the peritoneal cavity causing blood poisoning and a painful, unpleasant death.
Mpreg pisses me off for many reasons.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-15 01:43 am (UTC)(link)Also, if a story involves a dude being somehow anatomically capable of pregnancy, it's not that great a leap to decide the change in biology also covers safe delivery.
(plus a lot of kink mpreg has nothing to do with the actual baby at all, and is instead all about putting the guy through something. I assume there's happy-family-consentual-mpreg out there that has to think that sort of thing through, but the majority that I've read is purely about the kink - and occasionally results in a baby that isn't even human (shut up, monster!kink is a totally wholesome acceptable thing ok), so really isn't affected by human things like that.)
... i just kinda defended mpreg didn't I, oh god imma just gonna crawl away now.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-15 02:37 am (UTC)(link)I always assume they're a sort of hermaphrodite and have a separate orifice for that unless otherwise stated, and in those fics they all seem to be c-sections or there's some implied/stated biological adaptation for giving birth that way.
