Text/Almighty Hot Mom
A lot of modern women will complain about today
"It's too stressful, life is too hard"
Not only to work to earn money, but also to work part-time "free nanny", take care of housework, cook laundry, key to having children and educating children are mostly women's affairs.
Women are exhausted from several jobs, making many women very envious of ancient women, most people think
In ancient times, it was enough for women to take their children at home to do housework
Large households with good conditions do not even have to do housework, and women can only give birth to children. It seems, so it seems
Ancient women were much happier than modern women.
However, is this really the case?
Look at things to be comprehensively analyzed, although ancient women do not have to show their faces to make money, but the status of ancient women is relatively low, they are "suspended", they are "using family law", they are trapped in an acre and a third of land, and it is very common to look up at the sky of the four-corner courtyard.
The most important thing is that in ancient times, polygamy was polygamous, and most women needed to share a husband with many concubines, and it was a very exhausting life to fight with each other. especially
Ancient medicine was not well developed
, which occurs as a result of having a child
"Medical Malpractice"
Cases abound. Although we can't go back in time to understand how ancient women were born, we can learn by reading history books, flipping through materials, or asking a centenarian who is nearly a hundred years old.
In ancient times, why did midwives need a pot of boiling water when giving birth?
Ancient women did not have pregnancy tests during pregnancy,
It can only be based on the experience of the midwife or doctor
To determine when the fetus is still in production.
And when the real childbirth, if in the winter, there is no heating in the house, the mother is very guilty, if in the summer, sweat a lot
It is easy to breed bacteria
Once pregnant and infant
Infected with bacteria
, that's very dangerous. Ancient due to
There are no disinfectant supplies such as alcohol
So there will be someone next to the bedside of the maternity
Constantly replace boiling water.
Why do you always use boiling water? What are the specific functions of this hot water?
1. Disinfection
Although there was no pollution in ancient times, but because
Most of the water sources are open-air, such as well water and river water, etc., and there are many bacteria
, also contains a large number of microorganisms. The mother is very fragile during childbirth, and there will be secretions discharged, which requires constant wiping of the body, and once the mother is infected with bacteria in the cool water, the consequences are very serious.
If you boil these waters,
When the microorganisms are exhausted, hot water can be used as a "disinfectant"
。
2. Wash
When the mother gives birth, due to the large amount of amniotic fluid and secretions, if there will be a lot of blood flowing out after the birth of the child, there is no iodine to disinfect the mother, then the midwife can only use
Hot water to replace the current iodine volt
Clean the mother's body.
3. Stimulate the opening of the cervical opening
In ancient times, the conditions for midwifery were poor, and the midwife relied entirely on experience
If the cervical opening is delayed in opening during childbirth, the midwife will also constantly wipe the mother's lower body with hot water.
Stimulates the opening of the maternal cervical opening
, to speed up the labor process.
Therefore, the mother will use a lot of hot water to help the mother give birth smoothly.
4. Temperature regulation
In ancient times, most of them used charcoal basins to heat up, and when they gave birth to children in winter, the temperature was very low, and at this time, the charcoal basin could not meet the heating needs of pregnant women.
In the room where the maternity gives birth
Put a few pots of boiling water to adjust the indoor temperature
, so that the mother will not have a birth accident due to the cold.
5. Cleanse the child after birth
Ancient conditions do not allow the child to bathe, and after the child is born, there will be fetal stool, coating and blood attached to the surface of the skin, if you want to clean the child, it can only be used
After boiling the water, let it warm and then wiped it
Hot water can not only clean the child and not be infected by bacteria, but also make the baby who has just left the warm environment of amniotic fluid feel some warmth and avoid getting cold because the air is too cold, so boiling water plays a great role in ancient maternal delivery.
Although women in ancient times did not have to earn money to support their families and did not have to bear the pressures of life, however
In ancient times, there was also "ancient suffering", and by producing this one, modern women are very happy
。 Although it is necessary to earn money to support the family and educate the children in the present, the current living conditions are good, the medical level is developed, and even if there are some small problems in the body during pregnancy, it can be solved in a way.
epilogue:
Now if the requirements of normal delivery cannot be met, the safety of mother and child can also be ensured by caesarean section, and ancient women relied on luck to give birth to children, relying on their own hard shoulders.
Burning a few pots of hot water instead of disinfection, instead of opening the uterine mouth and a series of operations, empathy to think about it, ancient women are actually not as easy as we think. Everyone has their own difficulties, so cherish the present, health is a blessing.
