  "A Good Birth"

  For a medieval women approaching the moment of labour and 
  birth, there were no antiseptics to ward off infection or
  anaesthetics to deal with pain. Historian Helen Castor 
  reveals how this was one of the most dangerous moments a 
  medieval woman would ever encounter, with some aristocratic
  and royal women giving birth as young as 13. 

  Birth took place in an all-female environment and the male 
  world of medicine was little help to a woman in confinement. 
  It was believed that the pains of labour were the penalty for 
  the original sin of humankind - so, to get through them, a 
  pregnant woman needed the help of the saints and the blessing
  of God himself.
