Null just posted an responder showing Padmé just after giving birth:
To my untrained eye, it looks too constraining to be able to give birth while under that cover. Does it expand? Was it only placed over her after giving birth?
Is there a canon explanation for how this works? Perhaps the droid delivered the baby and then immediately placed the cover over her.
(Also, what is its real name? I assume they don't call it a "space-modesty thing".)
As you can see from timestamp 125.
O novelização oficial refers to it as a "tent"
Below the opaque tent that shrouded her from chest down, a pair of surgical droids assisted with her labor. A general medical droid fussed and tinkered among the clutter of scanners and equipment.
This device appears to be the outer space equivalent of medical drapes, providing the patient with some privacy (note that she's in an otherwise exposed room with several people watching) and helping to create a sepsis-free environment.
