Do animals rip?

Or have they managed to produce offspring that actually fit through their mimsies?

It's the one drawback to being bipedal
Walking upright meant we had to evolve differently-shaped pelvises which don't bend and stretch as much as they do in a quadruped. As a result, births became more painful and more risky. Combine this with our increasingly rich diets, which help foetuses to reach larger sizes before they make a bid for freedom, and you'll be screaming blue murder at natural selection when you're in labour.

Also
our brains are much larger in propotion to the bodies than other creatures. The thing that makes us better at adapting to survive than other animals also makes us much more likely to die as we are being born, or at least kill our mothers.

Nature is wonderfully ironic. More so that Alanis Morrisette.

Although supposedly
our average brain size (at least in our early years) was smaller than that of Neanderthal man. So ladies, if you think it's bad squeezing a miniature homo sapiens out of your pipes, be thankful you're not harbouring something with a mahoosive brain and eyebrows that shelter its toes from the rain*.
