* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E12TheRouteOfAllEvil The Route of all Evil]]", Fry and Leela brew some beer inside of Bender, the whole thing being an extended pregnancy metaphor (right down to the fermentation process causing his belly to expand). Naturally, the scene where they bottle the beer is just like this.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow,'' Junior accidentally drinks a glass of water containing Rallo's pet goldfish, swallowing it whole. The two expect him to eventually "pass" it without incident and spend the next few days acting like he's pregnant. When he actually goes to the bathroom, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he finds out the fish was in fact digested and the fish is metaphorically stillborn.]]

* In ''Film/{{Evolution}}'', when the doctors have to get the alien insect that cut its way into Harry's body by going in through the colon and pulling it out, and the scene plays out in this way.

* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' when the Planet Express crew brew some beer inside of Bender, the whole thing is an extended pregnancy metaphor (right down to the fermentation process causing his belly to expand). So naturally, the scene where they bottle the beer is just like this.

* ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'': The climax of "Poop Madness" has Nick help Andrew deliver the poop he's been holding in all summer, complete with Andrew doing breathing exercises, Nick wrapping the poop in his shirt like a blanket, and Maury and Connie walking onto the scene with an "It's a Shit!" balloon to celebrate. And then Andrew poops again, remarking that they're having twins.

->''"Okay- now ''push!'' PUSH! Keep pushing... and... we're good! Life signs are holding steady. He's going to be fine. Congratulations, Megatron-- It's a ''superwarrior''.''

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' fanfic ''[[Fanfic/PrideLandsGenerations'', although there is no intercut with the actual birth scene, this trope is implied -- the expectant mother begins giving birth, the lionesses are quickly summoned to take her to the birthing den... only to switch to Dhahabu and his elephant friend helping break down the river dam created by the BigBad, complete with "One, two, three, ''PUSH''!" [[SubvertedTrope Then the real birth scene is shown]] (albeit mostly off-screen and without graphic detail).

* Zig-zagged in one episode of Series/RaisingHope--after Sabrina expresses dismay at not feeling like Hope's "real" mommy, Barney sets up an elaborate rebirthing ceremony to make Sabrina feel like she's giving birth to Hope. Unfortunately, Hope gets stuck in the [[ItMakesSenseInContext tomato-sauce-filled tunnel]] they used to simulate the birth canal--when Jimmy goes in to rescue her, ''he's'' the one who has to be "birthed". The whole scene plays out like a particularly messy labour, complete with Jimmy getting the "cord" (his rescue tether) wrapped around his neck, and emerging from the tunnel crying, confused, and covered in chunky red liquid.

* ''Series/{{Eve}}'': In the first episode. Unplugging Project Eternity involves removing a thick blueish cord connected to her stomach. Swaps abruptly to the other end of the metaphor when the teenage boy realises it's hurting her and, to save her life, thrusts the phallic plug at the end back into her middle...

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow'', the Floaty Heads tend to perform a ceremony to detach their heads from their bodies. After Victor gave encouragement to the Floaty Head Princess, she actively tries to "push" out her head while Victor cheers her on to "keep pushing", and once she succeeds with popping her head out, Victor happily says "It's a head!" which makes the whole scenario akin to childbirth.

* Used as wordplay in the ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]'' short "Believe It or Else," where the narrator tells the audience that they presenting the birth of a baby. It turns out to be a baby already up and kicking resting in a train berth.

* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye:'' A flashback in issue 14 has Overlord being infused with ununtrium to make him NighInvulnerable, with scientist Rossum as the doctor and Megatron as the expectant parent. When the process ends and Overlord crushes Rossum's head, Megatron beams.

* In ''WesternAnimation/IceAge3DawnOfTheDinosaurs'', Ellie is giving birth while Diego fights off some raptors trying to kill her. At one point Diego is the one appearing to go through labor pains, and then the camera pulls back to show him pushing a raptor off a ledge. She's telling him to push, he claims that she has no idea what he's going through, and then there's a moment of silence as he processes what he just said before sheepishly apologizing.

* In ''Film/{{Blankman}}'', Blankman and his brother Kevin help a woman trapped in an elevator to give birth. All three are screaming loudly as this happens, though. The woman, for obvious reasons, Kevin, because when he offered his hand to the woman, she grabbed his crotch instead and squeezed as hard as she could, and Blankman because, well... he's a bit of a dork who doesn't really know what's going on.

* In the dubbed version of the second to last episode of ''Anime/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit'' when Balsa and Tanda are getting the egg out of Chagum.

A sub-trope of DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything, this is a scene where someone ([[GenderFlip usually a man]], though cases of MisterSeahorse don't count) goes through all the motions of a ScreamingBirth, complete with screams of "you did this to me" and someone on hand to give encouragement being common. But what's really going on is something much more [[FelonyMisdemeanor mundane]] or [[PlayedForLaughs ridiculous]].

Occasionally the victim will simply be the PanickyExpectantFather himself, struggling to get through the agony of [[CloserToEarth his wife]] crushing his hand to cope with her own pain.
