Did they have C-sections then? Cause I have a feeling either I or my mom would die in childbirth

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Yes they did! There's a reason they're called caesarean sections - the concept has been around for millenia. Now, whether your mother would've survived being stitched back together after that is a WHOLE other story, and whether YOU would've survived is also a different question, but they were known.

Julius Caesar was named after the procedure (or rather, his ancestor was), so yeah.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
