Many people have seen a lot of scenes in historical film and television dramas, that is, ancient women can easily give birth as long as they have a midwife when they give birth, but the matter of giving birth to a child in the real development process of history is not so simple.
Ancient midwives in the process of pregnant women giving birth to children will let the other party constantly adjust breathing to save strength, wait until the fetus is about to come out and then launch full force to give birth to the fetus. After that, they will cut the umbilical cord with fire-fired tongs, soak the beaten hot water in a damp cloth, and then wipe the pregnant women and babies so that the birth process is complete. But while such a production process may seem simple and people don't have to suffer much, these things are often only small probability events. Many people even lose their lives when they have children, so what is the reason for this?
One important reason is that ancient medical technology was not developed. In fact, no matter what kind of incurable diseases, as long as the medical conditions are sufficiently superb, they can be solved, but in ancient times, people did not have much good medical skills, and even if they encountered small problems in the process of giving birth, it was difficult to solve, which led to the unfortunate death of many pregnant women in the process of childbirth.
Another important reason is that the ancients married too early, especially women, when they were fifteen or sixteen years old, they was hastily married to others, and at this time women are often not mature, so the quality of sperm and eggs is not up to standard, and there will often be difficult births when giving birth, and it is likely to face greater life dangers.
Another reason is that the ancient society was not stable, wars were frequent, and people at that time did not have much good physical fitness. Giving birth to children requires adequate nutrition, but the ancients were not able to be satisfied at this point, so they often had various problems when they gave birth to children. Dystocia is also one of them, even if the child is born smoothly and smoothly, it is still relatively weak compared with normal babies, and some even die after birth.
It can be seen that although having a child is a very ordinary thing in our eyes, the ancients are still not perfect in this matter, and we should understand the hardships of the majority of pregnant women.
