*something that tells you how awesome I am*

- Showing Rhaenyra in labor from pre-head to crowning to shoulder birth to the slip-and-slide birth of the rest of the baby + the gross ass sound of it

- Showing the absolute fucking joy Rhaenyra takes her in children

- Showing Rhaenyra struggling to stand and having her snap that she should still be resting. + the midwives helping her stand because fuck knows she’s probably weak in the knees and that Rhaenyra did not want to hand her son away even though her maidens couldn’t get her dress off while he was in her arms, and the pause she takes before handing him off. Also the fucking respect of the maiden staying literally right next to her, or within a few feet, while they dress her because the babe needs his mother and they fucking know it.

- Showing Rhaenyra delivering the placenta aka after birth ALSO Major fucking props to Rhaenyra for remaining standing while birthing a whole ass other organism.

- Showing the cutting of umbilical cord, which also shows that she was literally still connected to her son when she stood up, which means the cord was literally dangling from her vagina as she stood up

- Showing that Rhaenyra absolutely fucking knows that just the sound of her shushing would be enough to calm her newborn

- Showing Rhaenyra’s post-birth contractions while her womb shrinks

- Showing Rhaenyra’s bump post-birth and even showing how it’s hidden beneath her gowns

- Showing Rhaenyra’s… not fear but, uncomfortableness with Alicent being near her child.

- Telling us that Rhaenyra called the midwife a cunt.

- Showing Rhaenyra struggling with milk supply as she tries to let it dry.

I love this show
