Human birth as viewed through an MRI machine

From Medical Daily:


"The 30-second movie captures the active second stage of labor as the mother makes expulsive efforts to push out the fetus.  Researchers had to stop recording in the late second stage as the fetal head extended and from the mother to ensure that the ears of the newborn were still covered by maternal soft tissue so that it was not exposed to MRI noise."
