Happy royal baby name day! Kate Middleton, who looked better 10 hours after labor than most humans do on their best day, has officially named their precious little princess: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana! It's been a crazy royal weekend and we are happy to welcome a new infant overlord to the world.
So did you pick the right birth date in your royal baby office pool? The right name? If you were wrong and you missed out on some quick cash, let us make you feel better with these 12 iconic and hilarious birthing scenes from the big screen. Epidurals optional, but recommended:
1. Knocked Up
Even though this Judd Apatow comedy gave us a very realistic portrayal of the miracle that is child birth, we were all a bit scarred after seeing Katherine Heigl with her legs up as the image of her baby crowning seared itself into our brain forever.
2. Look Who's Talking
This doesn't count as a birth scene, technically, but it is a creation scene. We bet more kids would understand how a baby gets made if parents just let Bruce Willis explain it via his talking sperm.
3. Baby Mama
Please! Someone give her a spray can of Pam for her nether regions! Also Amy Poehler's demand for drugs and description of labor as "s--tting a knife" seems pretty accurate.
4. Nine Months
We hope against hope that we look as beautiful as Julianne Moore does during her ranting epidural scene when we give birth.
5. What to Expect When You're Expecting
We don't mean to sound weird, but we could watch Elizabeth Banks give birth all day. She's flawless as an expecting mother and was hands down the best part of this ensemble film. Sorry, Cameron Diaz.
6. Junior
It's not a tum-ah! It's a baby. Coming out of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And delivered by Danny DeVito. It was the '90s, you guys.
7. Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part One
Nothing brings a couple together more than when the husband has to, um, bite the baby out of his wife's womb. And now our appetite is gone for the next 72 hours, but at least we'll have more nightmares!
8. Men in Black
Points added for accurate depiction of gross fluids. Points taken away for too many limbs. Points added again for adorable eyes.
9. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
We don't like to acknowledge that these prequels existed, but for the sake of this list we will mention this scene. But only for the sake of this list and only because it gave us Luke and Leia Skywalker.
10. The Back-Up Plan
Not even the hilarious Melissa McCarthy could make us want to have a water birth after watching this scene, which was scarring at best. Or as The Office's Creed describes it: "Must be like the tide at Omaha Beach."
11. Father of the Bride Part II
If you're more into birth scenes that aren't very realistic and show nothing but some heavy breathing, dewy foreheads and some closed doors where screaming babies can be heard, then this is the movie for you! But seriously, who doesn't love George Banks (Steve Martin) and Franck Eggelhoffer (Martin Short) teaming up to deliver two babies within minutes of each other? Jerks, that's who.
12. Star Trek (2009)
