@@daviesdavies538 i agree but also we gotta think when they were teens it was different for them because people generally didnt live as long and also around the teen ages people were considered adults and the wealthy at that time would already know multiple languages and have had alot of schooling. Im not arguing or saying you are wrong im just saying it was a different time then. Stay safe during this covid shit! :)

I had "partial" anaesthesia (epidurals) for my first two. My third was a full general anaesthetic. The first an emergency caesarian after 23 hours of labour. 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.

@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha context: Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI were having difficulties of conceiving a child because Louis had something going on that made his dick hurt during sex. So France (with all the other BS happening) were mocking her for unable to even fuck her husband. That’s why when they finally conceived, everyone was on the bandwagon to finally see their child being born.

@@chunellemariavictoriaespan8752 some people are okay with others watching them give birth, a majority are not. I don't give a fuck how difficult it is to find someone who says yes, barging in on something like that is extremely rude and disrespectful. It could even be borderline dangerous depending on how much stress it causes the mother. Would you really like to be the reason there are complications with the birth, because the doctor teaching you didn't ask for permission? I may be overexaggerating, but I have a suspicion that things like that happen often, despite my having no experience. Watch a video if you want to learn so bad, it can't be that much different. I hope they asked for permission to film it.

She also suffered 7 miscarriages, many of which were later term. Over 25 years of marriage that’s insane, and it’s no surprise that she died at 49 after what a massive toll that must have taken on her body and mind. It’s theorised she had anti-phospholipid syndrome which basically causes the body to attack itself and as a consequence foetuses. I can’t imagine what she went through

Im totally down with laying around for a month. Now youre in & out within 3 days for a regular vaginal birth & 5 for a c sect. You're sent home & thats that. My neighbor was 92 years old when i got home from the hospital. She was shocked. She said that they had kept her for 10 days, she was even more shocked that nurseries are not commonly offered so the new mother could rest. I told her nope you give birth no matter how long it takes, they hand you the baby & youre alone in your room. Men say a kidney stone is worse than giving birth. That cracks me up.

When I hear people - especially women - say that they wished they could’ve lived during these times with all the beautiful ball gowns and whatever and because they have this fantasy that it was better back then, I’d like to show them this video. I’ll keep my 21st century birthing experience (10 years ago) in a hospital with an epidural, thank you very much! I’ll also keep my yoga pants and sweatshirts/t-shirts instead of wearing the big, bulky dresses with a very constructive corset underneath!

actually, properly-fitting corsets aren't really any more restrictive than a bra. their main function is bust support and smoothing. reduction didn't really start happening with corsets until the 19th century, and even then, it was typically only by a few inches (spanx and back braces will also reduce your waist a few inches, your middle squishes easily unless you're very very thin to begin with).

(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!

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.

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.

I am sure a 14th or 15th century royal mother’s birth was still more comfortable compared to a commoner’s or peasant mother’s birth during that same time period. Royal women were tended to more and had a doctor on stand-by. I feel more for the pregnant common women of that day that probably little extra luxuries. It must of been hell.
@pricklypear7516
@pricklypear7516 4 жыл бұрын
Quite the contrary. Royal women were subjected to "confinement" -- being sentenced to a darkened, closed up, stuffy chamber for the latter part of their pregnancies. The absolute WORST conditions both for the spread of pathogens and for a woman's physical well-being! Peasants by necessity had to stay active, and exercise is one of the most crucial components of a healthy delivery. Generally, their diets were good, they were in fresh air and away from the germs rampant in urban areas. They had the support of extended family and friends and knowledgeable midwives, whereas the royal mother had probably been imported from a significant distance and subjected to the ministrations of "physicians" who mostly read astrological charts. I've had four kids and I guarantee I'd rather have been a peasant woman than a royal! (By the way, that "high maternal mortality rate" you hear so much about was NOT from the delivery, but from some kind of sepsis afterward.)
