Popcorn Planet's Interview w/ Adam Mondschein (the OB-GYN in the movie)
Super insightful interview, especially on the delivery room scene. In fact, Adam talks about how the scene was filmed and choreographed in such a way that the baby that they had in the scene... their parents were right there, supervising! Just another data point for how this scene was a professional closed set, and not something where there was nudity.
