Reply to comment by Bacchus1976 in How our microbiome is shaped by family, friends, and even neighbors. Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80

Something wrong with this. First of all women doesn’t usually poop a bit when giving birth. This is not as common as described. That can happen in different amounts, but in modern days different procedures and medication are used to prevent it from happening as most of the births take place under some form of medical care. More often than ever the exterior parts are sterilised several times during birth. Significant part of microbiology should have been passed to the child from vaginal microbiome.

I still have olfactory nightmares about the poop that came out of my wife during child birth. Every time some would drizzle out the nurse would put a rag on top of it until the stack got too high then start over.

Birthing suite staff truly are in a league of their own. I have a lot of respect for those midwives, OBGYNs and nurses.
