So, I doubt anyone will see this or is interested in mermaid reproduction, but I have some theories.
Obviously one must assume mermaids exist for this theory. Also that they are aquatic mammals.
Given that, mermaids are likely to share some truths with dolphins. Dolphins have slits that keep their gentialia protected from the ocean, while also allowing access for reproduction, or gay one night stands, whatever that particular dolphin is into.
And, not surprisingly, dolphins give birth this way. Pushing the baby dolphin out of both its vagina and also the slit , sort of all at once. Dolphins are born tail first which prevents baby dolphins from drowning. I would assume the same would be true for mermaids, though this would make mermaids birth less safe that either dolphinir human birth as mermaids could still suffer some of the complications that arise from having children born in breech position. It is atleast possible that mermaids would be born head first, like humans.
If that is the case, their mothers would simply need to make sure the. Baby got to the surface quickly enough.
Obviously none of this applies if mermaids are not aquatic mammals, as in such a case they likely would not give live birth.
