daria a luz al revés / en reversa


Explanation:
me parece que se trata de una expresión, indicando la lentitud del parto?

Yo uso bastante esa expresión en el lenguaje cotidiano por supuesto! :)

"si vas mas lento iria en reversa"
"mas lento y va de retro"

(esos son simplemente ejemplos del habla cotidiana para darte una idea)
