Childbirth is a Nouveau-RiotGrrrl HardcorePunk band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2013. It is comprised of members Julia Shapiro (guitar/vocals), Bree [[=McKenna=]] (bass/vocals), and Stacy Peck (drums/"cool mom"), all of whom are also members of other popular underground bands.

Their style consists of tight, ThreeChordsAndTheTruth-type punk ditties about various common female experiences--from cross-stitching to mansplaining tech bros to, you guessed it, childbirth. Their first-album single, "I Only Fucked You as a Joke", was named by ''Spin'' magazine as one of their top 100 songs of 2014.

JustForFun/NotToBeConfusedWith BirthTropes (though they tend to employ quite a few of them).

!!It's a Trope!
* PregnancyScare: One of the singer's concerns in "I Only Fucked You as a Joke" is that she might be pregnant now.
-->I don't wanna have a kid!
* TakeThat: Many of their songs, such as "Tech Bro", which ridicules nerdy men who act entitled to female company.
* VisualPun: The cover of their second album, ''Women's Rights'', shows a woman's gloved right hand.
