The risk, given my age, meant another epidural caesarian but the epidurals did not work completely. Yes, I felt the surgery of the first caesarians. Finally, common sence and science decided, my last birth would be a caesarian, under full general anaesthesia. I hate to think how intrusive giving birth in front of so many people would have felt.

As if modern births are risk free. Pregnancy is the worst that can happen to a womans body. 9/10 women tear at some degree even today. Mothers suffer for months from the aftermath of birth. I think if a man loves his gf or wife, he would protect her from this pain and torture.

And in Islam, the pain of childbirth is acknowledged as a further reason for her children to respect her 3 times more than the father Even carrying her on her back when she is old won't repay the pain of childbirth-this is the leading stance set since the beginning of Islam

Please please please DO NOT underestimate pain killers. It's true that a woman's body is built to procreate and go through the hardships of labor and child birth, but if you have access to any (medical/professional) help you can get , just take it. Apart from that, and if it is of any consolation, a normal labor and birth should take only hours not days. So, you should be fine.

(Minor correction: Queen Victoria had four sons. Leopold was her eighth child.) Because the Spanish monarchy still follows male preference primogeniture, then-Crown Prince of Spain (or Prince of Asturias) Felipe announced the sex of his second child before she was born, as the Spanish government at the time was debating amending the succession laws to prevent his first daughter from being demoted by a future younger brother.

I really feel for women of those times. They had to be very strong! I had wildly different experiences with childbirth. I’m not fond of hospitals & always try to put off going as long as possible. For one I had an unintentional audience, my in laws, parents, grandparents, & siblings were all still in the room as it happened faster than the doctor expected. I delivered the baby within an hour of them telling me it probably wouldn’t happen for at least another 6-12 hours. With my second child I thought I knew what I was doing from experience & was waiting for my husband to get off work to go to the hospital because I thought I had time I was alone & actually had to deliver him myself. It was pretty scary. I much preferred the help & comfort of family & medical staff! I had post labor complications both times because it happened so quickly. Needless to say, if you think you’re in labor, don’t wait until the last minute. Take it from me, it’s much better to be sent home than get there too late!

I just adore your vids like this one! Many Thanks!

Victoria was very needy of Albert nearly all the time... in fact she was so clingy that he resorted to finding excuses sometimes to not run to her every call. Victoria didn’t like babies and small children very much and was not maternal in nature. Tutors and nannies looked after the children, and one of her children was sequestered in a house somewhere in the country as being too disturbed or quasi insane to be in public and this poor girl was hardly ever visited by her parents. The saying “children should be seen but not heard” came from Victoria, and many families copied this maxim. Although my grandmother was Victorian, she abided by this rule, and so my mother also saw me as not worthy even at 15 years old of interacting with adults at table, or at one of her parties. As for myself and my three children, meal times were family times.

So I see why Victoria was so depressed after his husband's death, what a man

I have had two natural childbirths and 6 medicated ones. I can absolutely tell you that I would rather not go through childbirth without painkiller. Nor would I ever attempt a home birth ever again. Once was more than enough especially after it resulted in my having to be admitted to hospital anyway. As for churching: I love the beautiful tradition which brings down a blessing upon her and her newborn child. I have been churched a few times after childbirth. Sadly, many traditional Catholic priests neglect that tradition. Typically, though, the baby's baptism and the mother's churching happen at the same time.

That isn't true. Even today, there are many cultures in the world without education about menstruation and how it relates to pregnancy. Look at the charity Days for Girls. They are amazing. I used to volunteer with them and have seen mothers and grandmothers in tears after watching the way the educators worked with their daughters in the schools. "I never knew," they cry. "I had no idea," they say. There are many women and girls who do not know. They have no one to tell them.

Actually, some women will have period up until their 8th month of pregnancy... Every organism is unique, and so does every pregnancy, the general rules can never apply to all.

well, yeah, they knew what the period stopping meant, but culturally they had different ideas about when a pregnancy technically began. she certainly wouldn't say anything before she felt the quickening, at least, because she still might miscarry.

Yeah I have all the ones that I've watched this one is by far the worst not very informative

2:20 Human : God, please forgive us and make our suffering gone God : Yee, of course, Jesus already there, now here i make a Doctor to create pain killer Human : Nooo... It's our punishmen, we can't take the pain killer ! Just do prayer for pain relief and safety !!! God : JUST TAKE THE PAIN KILLER, IM ALREADY ANSWER YOUR PRAYER !

this is really interesting ofc but i think a more accurate title would be "european royal mothers" since many different cultures had different approaches to deal with childbirth.

Your videos are so interesting! I learn more from them than I did from my high school teacher! You just got a new subscriber 👍
