Because they left a warm, comforting, familiar place and came out into this cold, bright, unfamiliar place where they have to use their lungs for the first time.

Wouldn't you cry if you were suddenly ripped from the only environment you've ever known that's warm and soft and fairly quiet into the bright lights of a birthing room strangers who are loud with freezing cold hands and freezing air? Oh wait, you DID! HAHA! Okay, seriously, baby also has to test out it's lungs and the only thing it knows to do is cry at that point. It's natural instinct.

Because the lungs rapidly expand and fill with oxygen instead of amniotic fluid, also it's cold and bright where as the baby is used to be warm, curled up in a dark little ball. Plus there are people man-handling it (doctors and nurses aren't that gentle with babies, but it doesn't hurt them.)

I have three and none of them come out crying. The first and last were born calm and content to listen and look as best they could at the world around them. My middle child was asleep. She opened her eyes for a second, looked at the doctor, yawned and went right back to sleep.

Babies do not come out crying. They are "induced" to cry in order to get them to breath because they don't know how to breath when they are first born.

not all...just some..
they cry because their like, being forced out of their turf that they've been in for months...its a sudden intake of emotion..a lot new sensations come and crying is the only way a baby reacts to surprises like this...breathing, hearing noises and probably a dozen other reasons im clueless about...; )

if you lived in a warm comfy place where you didn't have to eat or breath on your own and were pushed out a little hole to a cold loud place where people were grabbing and poking you. wouldn't you cry
but realistically its natures way of having the baby clear any junk from there throat and lungs so they can breath easier.

It's definitly cold and scary but it is also a good thing. After the umbilical cord is cut (which is how they have breathed for the last nine months) they look for the babies cries. This is a good indicator that you have a healthy baby.

My baby didn't come out crying, but she started soon after probably cause it is a very traumatic event. I am not sure that she was really ready but she was breech and the ball and chain had to have a c section. I think that she was uncomforatable too so it kinda happened.

Thats how they know they are breathing. How would you like to be in a moist warm place for 9 months then being pushed out and grabbed by a doctor? haha.
