Will giving birth in a sewer help the baby's immune system?
If you drop the baby in sewage as it comes out of the womb, will it grow up super-immunized? My biology teacher mentioned this I'm wondering if it's really true.

No, babies have extremely weakened immune systems. They can sick really easily. To have a better immune system a baby first has to mature a little bit so their immune system actually starts to develop while also slowly being introduced to small amounts of bacteria and viruses overtime.
Dunking a newborn in raw sewage seems a pretty stupid thing to do. I'd hope that a biology teacher isn't an anti-vaccine nut, but it sounds like a false analogy that mob of idiots might use: exposing an infant to multiple inactivated pathogens at the same time is like dunking a baby in untreated shit.
Perhaps what your biology teacher was referring to recent research comparing the health of babies born vaginally compared to those born by Cesarean. I can't site numbers off the top of my head, but it does seem that vaginal birth results in infants who are healthier when all other factors are taken into account. The likely explanation for this is that the birth canal contains loads of bacteria, and it's normal for a woman in the final stages of birth to poop at least a little, so the infant is exposed to both of these sources of bacteria.
Nah, real OG-moms give birth in the Chernobyl safe containment building/ sarcophagus.
Fingers crossed your baby gets superpowers, or at least turns into a super mutant XD
Hahahahaha! Good one... kinda lame, but still a laugh is a laugh.
I've always wondered if thats why babies put stuff in their mouth instinctively. Maybe that's mother nature's way of strengthening their immune systems. Lol
