I cannot believe she gave birth SILENTLY


It's not possible, the mother will be in agony and screaming, and even if she tries to keep the vocal cords apart, they will come together unexpectly and she will be monster food.

And if the mother isn't going to cry out, then the baby will certainly do that!

Stupid, stupid movie. Didn't think its own premise through, properly.

reply

So you went to see a post-apocalyptic alien horror movie expecting realism?

reply

Well, yes. At least realism from the humans.

reply

that's why they set up a sound proof nursery.

reply

Yeah, for the baby. But she was in the bathtub when she gave birth, and with a pierced foot, don't forget. Double the pain!

reply

I took it as a "people will do anything to survive" or a "mother's will protect their young at all costs" moment...

It's a movie after all...

reply

She was used to being quiet by that point so her sound making reflexes didn't kick in.

reply

That's a good explanation, but still...

reply

You can rest easy because she DIDN'T give birth silently.

Maybe you need to watch it again and pay a little bit more attention.

reply

I'm not watching that crappy movie again. The premise was stupid from the start.

reply

HAHA. Yeah. Don't do it. That was a pretty poor suggestion on my part.

reply

SPOILER ALERT...................












She didn't, she screamed as soon as the fireworks went off to "camouflage" the sound.

reply

OK, I forgot about the fireworks. Still a shitty movie, mind.

reply

I need to point out that, although she had to keep quiet during the birth, which you would think was next to impossible, she did CRY out at one point, and would have been heard by the aliens, had it not been for the fortuitous intervention of the noise makers that the Dad set off. Coinciding almost perfectly with her scream. A bit of a stretch, I admit, but a possibility anyways.

reply

It wasn’t a coincidence. She was holding the scream in, when she heard the noise she felt she could let it out.

reply

I am baffled so many people on here don´t get this simple scene.
Like americans are really stupid #spaceforce

reply

She screamed before the fireworks went off. It was deus ex machina that they happened to go off at the same time.

reply

No she didn’t.

Touche. I could have sworn she let out the scream before the first rocket.

reply

Well actually, my wife was practically silent when she gave birth to our son using zero pain relief. So it's actually not that unlikely.

👍

I guess some folks on this forum or too young to remember Katie Holmes' birth when she was married to Church of Scientology Tom Cruise? The scientologists believe in silent birthing. The women are not supposed to cry or scream during labor because it's upsetting to the baby. Also, there are certain tribes that require that adolescent girls and boys don't cry out during circumcision rituals. If they do, they are shamed for life. It's unbelievable, but evidently it's possible for people not to cry out when they are in extreme pain.

I was too young to remember it, being a newborn, but I'm sure I cried out like Tom the cat from Tom and Jerry when an anvil fell on his tail. OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-HOWHOWHOW-HOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

reply

No, Kathy. I am not too young but a bit old to give a damn about the drama around that scientology sofa-bouncing clown and his wives. If what you mentioned is true that they don't allow women to cry or scream during birthing, then it is really a shame of the Church of Scientology.
I upvoted ShinyMcShine's comment because I believe the mother has a choice to decide whether or not take pain relief during labor.

the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists wishes to reaffirm the opinion published jointly with the American Society of Anesthesiologists that while under a physician's care, in the absence of medical contraindication, maternal request is sufficient medical indication for pain relief during labor.
