I would not have wanted to be Tudor royal family and made to give giving birth in front of an interview . No , thank you .
1.The chainsaw was invented for childbirth.
BeforeCesarean sectionswere performed, two doctors invented a hand-crank chainsaw to remove the parts of the pelvic bone of a woman in labor if the baby was stuck.
2.Here’s anotherbirthing invention for you: The Blonsky device, a table in which a pregnant woman is strapped down and spun quickly to get the baby out by centrifugal force.
George and Charlotte Blonsky weregranted the patentfor their device in 1965. The device has never made it into general use.
3.Royal women used to give birth in front of large groups of people to prove the royal baby came from a royal womb.
Marie Antoinette was said to have200 people in attendancewhen she gave birth.
4.In ancient Egypt,women would pee on a bag of barleyand wheat, and if it sprouted, she was said to be pregnant.
If the wheat sprouted first, the fetus was said to be female, and if the barley sprouted first, the fetus was said to be male.
5.Once embryos have been frozen,they can be stored indefinitely.
In 2020, a healthy baby girl was born from a 27-year-old embryo.
6.Some stem cells from the fetusstay in a mother’s body, so if you’re a younger sibling, you probably have some of your older sibling’s cells in you.
These cells also travel through the mother’s body and help with multiple functions (like the healing of a C-section).
7.Human babies areborn with about 46%more bones than adults have.
Typically, babies are born with 300 bones that will fuse together to make up the average 206.
8.Non-human primatesuse their handsto help them get out of the birth canal.
Actually, a baby loris does all the work, and all the mom does is basically catch them.
9.Food likes and dislikes can transfer to ababy in-womb, depending on what the mother eats during pregnancy.
Though mothers don’t directly shape all food opinions. Individual preferences will happen on their own, too.
10.There are speciallydesigned belly button ringsfor pregnant women that stretch with the belly so the hole doesn’t close up.
It’s safe to leave a belly button ring in during pregnancy if the piercing is fully healed.
11.Finally,a study showedthat women on birth control pills blink 32% more than women not on birth control pills.
Bodies are wild!
