Did you know that the very first parenting steps, which are conceiving and giving birth to a baby, are considered dangerous before modern medicine?

Doctors could not understand how some women would experience feverish and painful symptoms post-partum, accepting it as part of their life cycle. Even after the invention of compound microscopes, doctors would blame these on mists, poor ventilation, and vague factors.

Hygiene did not improve until the end of the 19th century when doctors finally come around their high horses as ‘gentlemen’ to wash hands.

Doctors finally washed their hands and reduced the mortality rate!
Nothing’s really changed, eh?

We may have been taking this knowledge and facilities for granted. There was a time when the journey to becoming a mother was not just tiring but possibly lethal. Now, we can enjoy parenting moments without fearing for our life, so enjoy it to the best you can! The children will grow up before you even realize it.
