  • Poor people they died of everything!

    Thanks god and scientists we have medicine and good doctors today.

  • @LindaOftheRose1 They were saying the same thing. 500 years from now, people might be watching videos of historians describing how we have a high death rate of cancer, decapitation or mutilation; and they'll think how stupid our doctors are today. In the medieval period you can see surgeries where dogs and animals roamed about; we look at that as a violation of sanitation. But 500 years from now, things we think are safe today... might be known to be fatal in the future.

  • Interesting to find the origin of what are now considered campfire "ghost stories" have traceable religious references.

  • @fleurgi Just having a wee ''Steffi Graf''! LOL

  • @DelBluenose80 you've got to be kidding me? you must be trolling. the contractions of birth/ the actual delivery can be excuriating. some woman have easier labours than others. some women endure labour for days.

  • @fleurgi Nonsense!! I watched a nature programme where a wildebeest gave birth to its calf. This thing came through the birth canal with hoofs and horns and there was nought but a slight moo from the mother as the calf hit the ground. All this screaming from women as a nice smooth little baby comes out is nothing but attention seeking.

  • just imagine what child birth was like as well. i mean us woman go through enough pain today, but just imagine in that time what that experience would be like
