Fans Outrage Over House Of The Dragon's Gory Childbirth Scene
One particular scene that has garnered mixed responses from the fans is that of a birthing scene involving Queen Aemma Arryn and King Viserys. When the queen goes into labour, the Maester informs the king that there are complications and they will have to tear open her womb to get the baby out (modern day c-sec). However, doing so might kill the mother.

What follows next is gory and a disturbing birthing scene.
House Of The Dragon can be streamed on Disney+Hotstar. New episode will drop every Monday at 6:30 AM.
