Why do women have such a hard time giving birth? Animals do it easily without assistance and don't seem to have as much pain.

I’m not a doctor so I can’t really speak to the specifics of human birthing. However, I can tell you a bit about some of the characteristics of pregnancy and childbirth.

It almost seems as though the birth canal isn't large enough for the human baby's head to pass through.

I believe that women can go through labor in a variety of ways. Some women find it more painful than others. But I can’t imagine that the human birth canal wasn’t made with the female anatomy in mind. There are probably certain ways for a fetus to be inserted into a female that wouldn’t be as painful for the baby and less risky for the mother, but we don’t know all the answers.

What? Insert a fetus into a woman? That's the strangest thing I've ever heard.
