Discussions of pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy loss.PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUSBCRIBE or may your barber get handy with the forceps...Emily's first episode of Season 3 is a dark history account all about the science (and alleged magic) of midwifery, We delve into how the woman-dominated profession caused jealousy and suspicion from the (male) Church which led to persecution, executions, and a suppression of new knowledge. We learn about the realities of childbirth, how midwives were often blamed for unpreventable losses - and their successes attributed to the devil.
