= = =4. Summary= In the middle ages giving birth and taking care of a baby was very different from how we do it now...The mother gave birth in a private chamber, they used a chair, which was called a Birthing Chair... The worst thing that could have happened was death for both mother and baby, for example, 20% of women died while giving birth, 5% of babies died while in delivery and 12% of babies died in their first month... If the mother died the baby would be given to another mother that also just had a baby and she would have to take care of it for example the child would be given to eather a god mother... A lot of babys get injuries,diseases, and miss birth which often kills the baby... The baby would often get baptised after birth, it is suppose to have the child have good luck... Thats how much I learned abut the babies in the Middle Ages...
