In the last period when technology was very underdeveloped, women gave birth as if they had walked away at the ghost door, as long as there was a slight negligence, pregnant women had to take a high risk, at that time, there were many special situations, and it was common for a corpse and two lives to happen, because of difficult childbirth.
At that time, in order to ensure the safe birth of children and the lives of pregnant women, a special midwifery profession slowly emerged, that is, stable mothers. Because they have a lot of experience in helping people deliver babies, a lot of people asked them at the time why they had so much hot water prepared during childbirth.
It was difficult to have a child safely at that time. If you do not pay attention, you will have symptoms of heavy bleeding. In addition, giving birth to a child is very painful, so pregnant women always sweat a lot. The stable mother is also very nervous during the delivery, and she will sweat profusely! Most importantly, after the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is broken, the sight of the stable mother will be affected, at this time, this is a problem related to human life, so a lot of hot water is needed to clean the blood left by the pregnant woman and help the stable mother and the pregnant woman wipe sweat.
Another point is that pregnant women are very vulnerable when they give birth. At this time, when a little cold water comes into contact with them, it is very detrimental to the recovery of the body. However, although the medical conditions at that time were not very developed, there was some experience at that time. They knew that using high temperatures could prevent wound infection and allow women to recover quickly.
In addition, there was no air conditioning at that time, and if the production was in winter, it would definitely be cold. At this time, hot water can not only help them disinfect, but also help pregnant women raise the temperature of the room. After babies are born, washing their bodies with warm hot water can also make them healthier.
