... Why do you give birth in my main stairwell? :/ Is that how you will impress your friends in front of your baby?

"Yeah, i gave birth in the STAIRWAY! beat that! "

silly dwarves...

Since there is no "Delivering Baby" task, one must assume that dwarven babies simply slide out within a second or two.

Dwarves give birth wherever they want. They will give birth whilst fleeing from goblins and then use the newborn baby as a shield to get inside safely. One of my haulers did this in order to survive.

I've had a few births in the danger room right as spears deployed (fortunately saving the baby but unfortunately putting the mom on maternity leave). I can only imagine how the birthing went as mother blocked/parried/dodged ten spears at a time...

So yeah, I guess it's a bragging rights thing for dwarven moms on where and when the little tykes pop out.

Giving birth in combat can be equated to regenerative ablative armour.
However, sillier than giving birth mid siege or whilst digging a well is possibly the following from a combat log between my military and a forgotten beast.

The Axedwarf bites the forgotten beast in the lower body from behind, tearing the scale and bruising the fat!
The Axedwarf latches on firmly!

What in Armok's name drives a fully armed dwarf to forgo his axe and simply leap at a forgotten beast (it's a triceratops with external ribs and wings btw, beware it's noxious secretions!) and clamp onto it with teeth alone... so now the dread beast is wandering around with a plate clad dwarf dangling from it's under side like a shiny Haemorrhoid. Now if she gives birth at the same time...

Well, if the axedwarf is firmly attached to the FB, then he can use both hands to get a powerful swing with the axe and lop off its rear leg or two...

You know those frogs that have hallucinogenic secretions that people lick? Maybe the dwarf thought the FB was similar? I think we all knew someone in high school who would have tried it.

"Duuude! Noxious secretions?! I gotta try it!"
