I’m a midwife and I feel the answer was in the grave...baby by her head was delivered, either still born or died shortly after birth, second baby was not in a normal birth position and was stuck, possibly breech mother obviously died due to complications of her labour, and the third child was most likely was not diagnosed with triplets, so mother is buried with the first child and other two still inutero, With the body decaying the second baby was expelled from mother’s body gases, and the third child was revealed after the body broke down . Well thats my theory, and triplets would have been extremely rare back then, and the mortality rate would have been extremely high

This was my initial theory as well - the baby under her body I assumed was in-utero at the time of the burial. The one at her shoulder was fully delivered and the one near her legs was "coffin born". I don't know why the one baby was buried at her head/shoulder and not in her arms - but perhaps some custom at the time would have answered that.

That poor mama. I'm only four-eleven myself and both of my babies were eight-pounders. I had to have C-sections to deliver. I cannot imagine the agony and fear this woman went through as she tried to deliver her little family. May she and they rest in peace.

I’m tall but with a very small pelvis. My baby was in a position very like the 1950s x-ray. With her head under my left rib, her bottom across the pelvis and her legs sticking up towards the right ribs. My sister was a radiographer at my hospital and she did the x-ray that the doctor asked for. I still remember her showing it to me and saying ‘don’t even try to get her through like that’ so when my doctor asked ‘do you want a trial labour? See if you can do it yourself?’ I very quickly said ‘NO’ Thank the lord for caesareans

I have a woman in my family tree that had five children then a set of triplets in 1902, a set of twins in 1904 and then two more children for a total of twelve children. The triplets survived and lived until adulthood but one of the twins died at birth. The triplets are documented with newspaper articles.

I'm 4' 11" and had four pregnancies, only one of which was a straightforward delivery. This episode brought me to tears. I feel her pain during labour.

My heart breaks for this woman and for her babies who didn't even get a chance to live 😕 I can't even begin to imagine the pain she was in because dying from labor complications isn't some instant painless thing but is long drawn out and extremely painful 💔 Poor things.

So 73 years ago my great aunt delivered triplets. Although delivering 2 sets of twins before this pregnancy, she didn't know she was carrying triplets. She lived in a very rural remote area and a midwife helped her deliver. They were all born without incident to the mother. Two girls and one boy. The baby boy died later in the first week or so. He had a heart condition. My great aunt was also very short. She may also have under 5 feet.

My dad is one of 13.

Huge respect for professor Sue Black. This woman developed identifying child predators on video through the marks and veins etc on their hands, arms and bodies. I’ve listened to her speak many times, she is so interesting. Some speeches can be found here on KZread. They are worth a look.

I feel like crying for this dear sister and the horrible death she obviously had. RIP Mom and babies 🙏🏼💕

I'm not a doctor but I figured out what happened when I first saw the pictures- it's just common sense. The only thing I did not hear, but I believe is, that the first child was stillborn. The second child was breach and wouldn't come out- and they were probably unaware there was a third child inside. The husband and the whole town must have thought she died in childbirth with twins. During burial, the stillborn was lovingly placed near to the mom's head, nestled in the neck- so they could be laying together in death. It would have been impractical to place the firstborn right in the mom's face as the mom had to be on her side due to the heaviness of the pregnancy. After the burial, the breach child was expelled by decomposing gas, and the third child dropped down out of the abdominal cavity after all the soft material had decomposed. Wasn't too difficult to figure out. It's forensic science. The configuration of the bodies themselves prove it. I welcome Zadahita or anyone to prove otherwise.

I had a 66 hour labor with my oldest. She was born with her arm above her head after I had experienced three days and two nights of labor. I had gone into labor at 3 a.m. on a Saturday morning and she wasn't born until 8:30 p.m. on Monday night. We had been trying for a home birth and the midwife left me to labor without intervening even when it became clear that I was past the point of exhaustion. I eventually transferred to hospital and was given intervention to help me deliver her. Even after all of that, I still managed to give birth vaginally. I still don't know how. I can really understand what this ancient woman went through in labor because I survived something like that.

The pain that mother would have endured before death is sick making....three days of end stage labor, huge contractions, every 3 minutes for perhaps three days and nights....horrifying. Pushing is so painful. Having gone through natural childbirth (no drugs) with two enormous boys-but 5 years apart-wow. My heart goes out to her, more than 2000 years later.

Na, no one has contractions for three days. After a ( long) while, they stop. Besides, maybe the birth of the first child was okay, but because of the position of the second child, an arthery burst and she bled to death in minutes.

I am totally hooked on History Cold Case Files. As a mother I am saddened by the case about Mom and Triplets. But it is so fascinating to see these specialists at work. Thank you and God bless.

Absolutely convinced. She had a triplet pregnancy. First baby delivered..second baby was a coffin birth and by position was a breech. The third baby remained inside mom.. also a breech presentation. She died trying to deliver the other two babies. Terrible way to die.

Like with the other cases in archaeology of putting a face to an ancient skeletal discovery, the mother would never have imagined that in the far distant future, her story would be told and she would be remembered once again. If only she could know.

Watching this fascinating documentary with its team of brilliant women examining the tragic death of this ancient woman made time concertina for me and it suddenly struck me that less than a 150 years ago none of those modern women would have been able to qualify as scientists. The world has changed for the better. As my dear old dad says "A society that fails to educate girls wastes 50% of its potential".

My grandmother was 4’10” and had 9 children. The first at 16 in a hospital. The rest, all 8 at home. The last she delivered herself. Me, 3 children. All had to be induced after going up to 3 weeks past due and 1 in distress. All delivered safe though. Yay!

I think of my own mother when learning about this woman. Both my sister and I were breech births. I was 2 weeks late. My sister was 3 weeks early. This was about 60 years ago, taking place in a small hospital in rural Alberta Canada. There was no C-section in either case.

Thirty-two years ago today I went through an excruciating labour with my eldest daughter. I was told afterwards a C section should have been performed eight hours before she was born. For that poor woman to go through that agony, probably for days breaks my heart. I hope she has been reburied with her babies in her arms. A friends grandson was stillborn and they have his ashes in a teddy bear. Perhaps each little babies bones could be put in a teddy, so she could have all three in her arms where they belong. Not sitting gathering dust in separate boxes on a shelf. I would willingly contribute to a funeral and I bet others would too. The bones have told their story. Now, they should all rest in peace.

In the end I was hoping to hear that they were all given a proper and decent burial. I guess you actually brought them to life in a way. Fascinating work! On to the next film in this cold case file. Thank you!

It doesn't have to relate in anyway to this but I remember in _Tess of the D'Urbervilles_ where the Sexton buried stillborn babies with unrelated people, one at the head, one at the foot, because no-one could afford to bury them. But I think that we have triplets here. Fitting in to a small grave could be a reason why the first one is where it is. And you do often hold a baby on your shoulder.

The pictures of how they were found in the grave makes me think that the woman died in childbirth having triplets. The first baby was stillborn and the other two were possibly not known they were there. She was buried with her first baby and the other two were expelled as the body broke down.

I have watched several of these documenteries in this series and I noticed that many of the doctors are very unorthodox. Super short hair, piercings, tattoos, small ponytails, rich looking jewlrey. They stand out and definately want to be looked at as originals. Love the casual clothes - blue jeans, t-shirts, riding boots.

Carrying triplets is not easy. Carrying triplets when you're a small built woman in your late 30s must be exhausting. I'm around that age and all I can say is your energy level is not the same as it was when you are in your late teens to 20s.

Amazing work!

What a sad, but beautifully explained story.

watching the Call the Midwife, a young girl lost a baby and they placed the baby in a grave of another with permission of mother and the deceased's family. Is that possible with the baby at her shoulder? I guess with no DNA being able to be extracted we will never know. What a sad story but so happy they are now not forgotten.

IMO, this is better programming than I’ve seen in the states. Very interesting, very compassionate crew. It doesn’t try to dumb a person down. Way to much GARBAGE on the airways. I think people are good with the 5min videos. Short attention spans.

I am a triplet born in 1954. My mother was 35 and 4”11”. Babies born all natural birth all head first. Boy born 3am….girl…..3:10am….me, a girl….3:20am. Boy weighed 5lb 14oz….girl 5lb 7oz and me 5lb 4oz. My mother was in hospital 6 weeks before birth as she could no longer walk carrying us all. All babies were healthy and my parents were warned before hand that some of us may not survive. We received £3 from the Queen’s Privy Purse due to our birth. This story was very sad.

Excellent video. Pity about the annoying background noise.

UK documentaries no matter the subject are superior to any other.

Typically pompous.

How horrible for the mother, days of agony.

I’m addicted to this series!

New subscriber been Binge watching..so fascinating!!!

Wow what a beautiful mother of all three of those babies wow she’s a beautiful mom she was a beautiful mom back then

I suspect triplets being born alive and healthy in those days would be rare. Likely she died in childbirth and babies never survived

Watching the local community as they receive the news and see her face, is it me or does this woman from 2000 years ago resemble them and look as if she would fit right in as a family member? So glad they could give this woman her face and story

So Very sad! Having had my first son born full term but stillborn I really feel for her not being able to deliver those poor little ones and having the first one stillboen. Alot of women lost their lives during deliveries or just after. And many children never made it. We take way too much for granted these days.

I know this woman died sooo long ago but i have alot of respect for her i am little and i had my son (2lb) and my daughter (4lbs) and i had very rough labor and delivery with both i couldn't imagine trying to have 3 and have little care or assistance its just ashame she didnt get to see them grow up

I was thinking the babies were undelivered . Like the comment before mine .I guessed that one baby was delivered the second off got stuck to but was delivered post burial by the natural forces of shrinkages of organs and passing of flatus. The third was undelivered also died undelivered as did poor mum. Life and nature was so brutal in those days . Rest in peace all four

Sue Black is an amazingly intelligent woman.

Have you read her books? I wouldn't usually be interested in anything grisly but I first saw her giving a lecture at the Royal Institute and was instantly hooked by her intelligence and womanish compassion. The sort of woman I know I would trust in any situation. She's worked in some really grueling and terrible situations. I'm 50 now, but when I grow up I want to be like her! 😂

Amazing documentary!

Fantastic program!! Love it!

Amazing!! Thank u for sharing.
