Some believe Henry sought after the "ideal wife" like his father had with his mother. Henry wanted a loving relationship like his parents but was never satisfied with what he had. He was paranoid and thought everyone betrayed him.
I'm sure if Katherine of Aragon had given him a son (or two) that survived he would have adored her until her death. He would have had mistresses, sure but he'd never have sought divorce.
jediavatarpotter didn’t he “truly love” Jane Seymour, then thought Katherine Howard was basically Seymour pt.2 until she “cheated” on him with Thomas Culpepper and he learned she wasn’t a virgin before marriage?
@@mjpeng6516 He loved her because she gave him a son, if she hadn't he would've become bored and infuriated with her just like he did with Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. He initially loved them as well until their wombs failed to provide him a male heir despite it being *his* sperm that determined the child's gender.
@@millielach545 Fair enough. I wasn't challenging your belief if you thought that, I'm sorry. I'm just way too emotional to think like that, props to you for being able to handle a beautifully tragic belief
The high rate of maternal mortality during the middle ages must have been one of the reasons elizerbeth 1 refused to get married which is obviously expected of her to get pregnant if she did.
I think it was more seeing what he dad did, knowing a man would take the power away from her and the fact her Katherine Parrs husband abused her as a teen, that's what seems to have affected her more, childbirth was probably a second hand reason
Elizabeth I probably got more mileage out of singlehood than she ever could have gotten by being married. By remaining single, she could hold forth the promise of marriage--and alignment with the increasingly powerful England--to the rulers of multiple fractious countries, keeping them as allies (and hostages to hope). I sincerely doubt that she feared childbirth.
Emeka Onwuchekwa I think Elizabeth was more traumatised with what they believe happened to her (being raped) and saw how badly men treated women and took power away from them. I think she wanted the power for herself and to not be controlled by a man
Mostly Elizabeth 1 didn't marry so she would never be under a man's thumb. You have to remember the that women had ZERO rights. Zero.Zip. Nada. Her reign would have been deeply impacted by a consort. She had to fight for her birthright to ascend the throne. Men conspired long and hard to prevent her coronation.
ummm... I think you will be just fine being pregnant in 2019... If I was pregnant back then ummm yeah... I would've needed to write my willl...I had a rough pregnancy and 1 miscarriage
Giving birth to my youngest daughter almost made me bled to death. The midwives were frantically trying to stop the bleeding while the gynecologist was pumping me full of meds to keep me alive. I felt everything turning gray around me and I was very calm. My newborn daughter drinking from my breast as I tried to look at her face without blinking. If I was going to die I needed to see her one last time. The blood finally stopped and I'm fine now. My husband has forbidden us for having any more kids and that's probably the best. I love my healthy and happy daughters too much to risk it of never being able to see them again
That must have been so frightening... Of course I don't know what happened to you or what risks to subsequent pregnancies you may have but i think it is remarkable that you chose and were able to prevent any more. My God, spare a thought for those women who were unable and even still can't make that decision. It's so, so sad.
@Alice and Rachel’s Angel Forever It can be spelled/spelt either way gray or grey according to online dictionaries! Ditto for the words spelled vs spelt depending on where one lives, either in the states or the UK! Check your own blood loss lady! What a rude comment to someone who went through such a devastating event! Put yourself in their shoes!! smdh
@@Seawitch555 a lot of cultures had the idea to cleanoften and especially during medical intervention. Jewish laws demanded strict bathing schedules for pre and post labour women and midwives and doctors always washed their hands. The Aztec’s were also exceptionally cleanly. Something we forget about the Middle Ages is that is a HUGE low point in human history, they lost so much knowledge that something as natural as birth was deadly.
@@hej8606 crazy how then the Jewish people were persecuted during the Black Death because they had cleaning routines that helped them out! What a low point indeed
@@sarahs7751 -- C-sections for sure. But more importantly Ignax Semmelweiz, Hungarian physician, pioneered antiseptic procedures even before Pasteur. As a reward he was put in a mental institution where a guard beat him and he died because his treating doctor would not use anticeptic procedures. Then uppity physicians, like so many current authorative conventional physicians would NOT use new anticeptic procedures. They tell patients not to research on the internet. Ya' gotta be your own doctor in so many instances.
The medieval painting of the midwife pulling a small, adult man out of a perfectly round hole in a woman's stomach is just my absolute favorite medieval painting of all time

Lovely presentation, but babies were baptised usually three days after birth not weeks. This was because babies did not always survive. In order for them to be able to reach heaven after death baptism had to be within days.
Emeka Onwuchekwa most of the time if you made it past certain ages you lived longer. If you lived past 15, you mostly lived until 25, if you lived past that, you lived until 40 usually, and so on
Life expectancy is give or take about the same as it would be today if you took away the advanced medicine, safe food, and vaccines. If you survived the childhood diseases, if you survived war/childbirth and famine. You were on the path to living a pretty long life. Older people usually died of cancer (though they didn't understand much of that back in those days.)
I had a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I was able to get to the hospital where my son was in distress and so was I. They did a crash c-section to deliver him and I went into a full cardiac arrest and a code blue was called. As the doctors were calling my time of death a third year surgery resident came in and refused to not try to resuscitate me. He did a emergency thoracotomy, a zipper cut and found that the artery running to my spleen had destroyed my spleen so it was removed as well as part of my pancreas. I was given over 34 units of blood within the first day. I still wasn’t expected to live and if I did they were concerned about brain damage. I spent a long time in the hospital recovering but our son was able to be discharged after 2 weeks. We were the 14th known mother with her baby to have survived a ruptured SAA. It’s taken me many years to wrap my head around dying while giving birth.....essentially life. You’re not supposed to die when giving birth. There isn’t a day that I am not grateful for my angel surgeon and that my son and I survived.
It's astounding that a surgery resident was able to save you. An attending surgeon must have come in during the operation. You are also very fortunate that other nearby arteries apparently weren't involved. Then again perhaps they were. Splenectomy is not difficult and the huge blood loss suggests other problems as well. Why the thoracotomy? Were you in a major hospital in a large city? I assume that you and your children have been evaluated for connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's.
wholeNwon Splenic artery aneurysm’s are rare but the risk is increased during pregnancy due to increased blood flow. It was found in pathology that I had been born with a very tiny defect in my the artery leading into my spleen. That artery also ran through the tip of my pancreas. So when the artery ruptured it impacted the tip of my pancreas too. Yes, there was an attending but other than administering basic life saving procedures CPR and intubation he was at a loss of what to do (very incompetent). I needed a emergency thoracotomy because I was bleeding out and the angel resident did a thoracotomy in order to buy himself some time in finding out the cause of my code. It also kept blood flow to my brain. But keep in mind the OB resident and attending had not told him that I had arrived in distress and during the ER c-section they found a lot of blood and obtained consent from my husband to conduct exploratory surgery to discover where the blood was coming from. The worst part is they didn’t extend my surgical cut to find the source and determined the bleeding had stopped without finding the source. This happened at a huge Naval hospital and the resident that saved my life went on to save many lives as a trauma surgeon and is now head of cardio thoracic surgery at a large hospital. I owe him my life.
@@Gamecockinnc1 That's really a great story. Obviously you were very lucky indeed. Now I understand the reason for the thoracotomy. It is hard to imagine that, as a third year, he successfully did all of this himself. Didn't he also call for an attending surgeon to come in? I don't know of a hospital where it wouldn't be required. Arterial wall defects usually prompt a search for evidence of connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's. It's important to make certain measurements in the females especially before pregnancy is contemplated. Very Happy Holidays to you and yours!
wholeNwon He did call his attending and he remembered he had seen the head of thoracic surgery earlier in the day and had him paged too. This happened at a military hospital on Memorial Day weekend so I was even luckier.
@@Gamecockinnc1 You and your baby were very fortunate indeed. I'm happy for you. Unfortunately in the ensuing years, the "norm" has become one of much less aggressive treatment and it is likely that many people die who might otherwise be saved by more appropriately interventionist physicians and surgeons .
Henry VII didn't kidnap Elizabeth of York. Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth Woodville had planned the union before the Battle at Bosworth to legitimize Henry's reign. Please do your research.
I know, this pissed me off. Also, Jane Seymour didn't attend Edward's christening because of custom, not because she was sick. She fell ill after the christening.
Whoa, I gotta say, as a British History major, the account portrayed here of the basis of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York’s relationship being “kidnapping” is ABSURD. Their marriage was planned for months, if not years, very strategically, by their respective sides in order to unseat Richard III and end the “Cousins’ War” AKA “The Wars of the Roses”. Henry was crowned months before his marriage to Elizabeth, and they ended up having a very satisfactory, even loving, marriage. No “kidnap” was involved.
There are too many inaccuracies in these videos. She mentioned that Henry Fitzroy was Henry's first son. His first son was with his first wife Katherine of Aragon, Henry Duke of Cornwall. I believe he was born on January 1, 1511, and died February 22, 1511. Henry Fitzroy was born in 1519.
why is Lindsay Holiday saying that Henry 7th kidnapped Elizabeth, he respected and love Elizabeth and the marriage was arranged by their mothers Elizabeth Woodvile and Margret (who's last name I can't spell).
He’s also buried with Charles I and Queen Anne’s infant! they really threw Jane and him in a box and slapped a piece of stone with their names on it and called it a day 😂😂
I think me n my mom had died too. It took over 24h n 4 midwifes 2 docs 2× vacuum extraction, episiotomy. I got broken clavicle and was send to intensive care unit bc amniotic fluid in my lungs. Good both of us got out of hospital healthy :)
Charlottes death is so terrible, the poor baby and poor Charlotte. God knows how Leopold reacted after losing 2 people like that without a warning? That’s horrible
Leopold was elected to be King of Belgium and married a French princess. Charlotte was, however, reported to be the love of his life. He also corresponded with and advised his niece Victoria, which included his encouraging her marriage to her cousin Albert, a nephew of Leopolds.
Well done! Little did King Henry the 8th know back then along with everyone else that it's the male whose chromosomes determine the sex of the baby! So those wives he beheaded died for nothing...not their fault, his! Thanks for sharing!
Actually its now theorized that Henry the Eighth had whats called Kell Blood group with McLeod's syndrome combined with Traumatic Brain Injury. Kells is a protein in the reproductive cells that can be positive or negative. If a Negative man, most likely what Henry was tries to reproduce with a positive protein woman they will have a child but no more. Female babies survive more often then male children. Henry got a traumatic brain injury when a horse landed on Henry and knocked him out.
Wow I had never even heard of Princess Charlotte before today but the story of her and her son is so sad. It sounds like her husband must have cared about her very much if he was by her side in a time where the husband being there for support wasn’t very common. Imagine his grief. Even the poor doctor blamed himself enough to kill himself?! So tragic. Modern medicine and science should always be appreciated.
See the difference between Ireland and England in those days... In most of Europe, yes, life expectancy, especially for women, was pretty low. In Ireland, not so much. I can name several Iron age, Medieval, and Renaissance Irish folks who lived into their 70s or 80s, like Queen Medb of Connacht (who had 10 children total, 8 sons and 2 daughters) who lived into her 80s and only died because she was murdered by her nephew, St. Brigid of Kildare who vowed herself to chastity but lived into her 70s, and Gráinne Ní Mháille (Grace O'Malley) who had four children, including one who was born at sea... Then they were attacked so Gráinne got up an hour after giving birth and fought. She lived to be 73, passing away peacefully in her sleep after retiring from a long life of seafaring and rebelling. Ireland was also noted for being very clean, by several different groups over many centuries. They washed their faces every morning, cleaned their teeth, bathed their whole person and washed their hair every night, with soap mind you, and often wore perfumes. I believe it was the Romans who once commented on how lovely they smelt. Its also suggested that the Irish introduced soap to the mainland, but that's mostly speculation. So pretty much, if you were going to live in the middle ages, do so in Ireland cause, well, you'll actually live.
@@ndiyabucaphukelaubusobakho1732 thanks, I do agree indeed, it is quite impressive. Grace herself once commented to Queen Elizabeth herself the differences between hygiene in Ireland and England... As it goes, during the famous meeting between Grace O'Malley and Queen Elizabeth, Grace sneezes. One of the ladies of the court hands Grace a fine handkerchief to blow her nose in. She did do then proceeded to throw it into the fire. The queen gave her a look and informed her that it was meant for Grace's pocket, and how rude it was of Grace to throw it away, that it came across that Grace didn't value the fine English cloth. So Grace, looking Elizabeth dead in the eyes, says 'well, in Ireland we value cleanliness over putting a soiled thing back into our pockets'. This actually made Elizabeth laugh. One can clearly see the differences between health and hygiene in the two lands, even as late as the Elizabethan period which we all know had horrible hygiene practices. In Ireland, it was still a sharp contrasting difference which is strongly highlighted here. We can see why Grace, and the other women and men of Ireland, lived so long!
During the early medieval period. Mainland European monarchs and nobility sent their children to Ireland to be educated. I'm talking about before the 11th century. The Irish were very advanced. We done things differently but things worked out for us. The English didn't like our system. We became 'barbarians' under their eyes.
@Mimi: You might be able to find information on the Internet about this. People rarely bathed, and even in the early 20th century it was common for people to bathe and change their clothes once a week. In fact, my parents had neighbors who moved in from some hillbilly state that did this as late as the 1950s. In large English cities people used to use chamber pots in their bedrooms to go to the bathroom in at night. The contents would then often be thrown into the street along with kitchen garbage. Rats were everywhere and people wore platform shoes to walk through the garbage. The smell from all this isn't just a smell; it's bacteria floating in the air. Finally, rat-borne diseases (bubonic and pneumonic plague) killed half the population of Europe.
Worth noting, as Charlotte was dying, her husband’s physician-in-ordinary, Christian Stockmar, left her room to try again and wake Leopold, but as he was doing so, he heard Charlotte frantically yell to him with his nickname, “Stocky! Stocky!” Just as Stockmar ran back into her room, Charlotte was already dead. Absolutely haunting.
My aunt started hemorrhaging violently during childbirth and my uncle started telling her, "Don't close your eyes, Mel." For fear of losing her. Luckily she and the baby are alive and well.
It was said that there were various reasons on why she chose not to marry despite having said to have affections for some of her suitors. I like to think her father is also at fault for that one, considering how many wives he had gone through.
Elizabeth would have remembered Katherine Howard, unlike her mother as she was too young. She may have seen Katherine as a playmate as I think Katherine was child-like her self..
She did not marry because of her father, king Henry 8.He executed her mother and that was the reasonIn fact, she really wanted children. She was just afraid that this child would be used to take her throne
My mum had two children and on both occassions, she suffered just about every complication one could go through during pregnancy. Her labours were quick, too quick, and resulted in heavy bleeding. They nearly claimed her life. After she had me, she had the birth control surgery and that caused another complication and a huge tumour growing inside her womb. However, my selfish father wanted another child, a son. He tried to pursuade her to have the surgery undone so that she could conceive again, all that time the tumour was growing inside her womb. To this date, I never forgave my father for the risk and danger he was going to out her through after the two earlier pregnancies and labours going so badly. Seeing this youtube clip reminded me the pain and sorrow I felt for my mother. If there is to be a another life, I want her not to have me.
Poor Charlotte, the doctors were so concerned with her appearance that they killed her. This kind of culture still happens today with several publications encouraging women to diet while pregnant, even though it’s been shown to have disastrous results.
They were encouraging her to diet because she was gaining too much weight, even modern day gynos would tell a pregnant woman to reduce her intake of food if she is getting too fat because it would make childbirth too difficult. The problem was that Charlotte fluctuated too much with her weight and she probably got blood poisoning after childbirth
@@Lumosnight doctors tell women the opposite when pregnant actually. they’re carrying for two and weight hardly complicates an already difficult process of childbirth. Skinny women aren’t the only women to fall pregnant.
@@Damodred_Heiress pregnant women are not supposed to ‘eat for two’ - any doctor would tell you that. A newborn only weighs 3-4kg. Women are only supposed to gain up to 12kg during pregnancy- any more than that you will have a difficult childbirth or risk developing gestational diabetes.
@@LumosnightThe diet was extreme though. No modern Gyno would advise the diet Charlotte was given . A British OB/ GYN said as much Maternal weight has a factor on high birthweight but some women just have big babies/ small babies naturally
The sculpture, which is St. George's Cathedral at Windsor, is the most moving piece of art I have ever seen. If you visit Windsor, please visit the sculpture, it is truly moving.
Loved this video! It’s definitely very informative yet there are some issues in your research. As stated previously in the comments, Henry VII did not kidnap Elizabeth of York, rather it was an arranged marriage through Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth Woodville. I think it’s also important that you note that mothers usually weren’t usually allowed at baptisms as they happened very quickly because infant morality was so high. Again, I absolutely love your enthusiasm for history and your passion! I hope to see more from you!

Eclampsia is still a huge problem all over the world. I almost died from it less than 10 years ago. The symptoms are headaches, seeing spots, low urinary output, and liver pain. You will need to advocate for yourself if you have naturally low blood pressure. As you won't fit the prescribed numbers to qualify as easily. Be safe my queens and princesses!
I was almost a stillbirth when the doctor took me from my mom’s womb through c-section. So grateful that my mom and I both made it! Salute to modern medicine!
“Jane Seymour the only one he truly loved (Rude) When my son was newly born, I died But I'm not what I seem or am I? Stick around and you'll suddenly see more”
Actually in those days men often added to that area as a sign on verility. Then in the tutor times pants were puffy above the knee for the same reason.
Makes you wonder about Henry VIII, if losing his mother, who he seems to have been close too and loved very much, (in fact, his whole family seemed to be), would be the reason he went through so many wives later in life, he was trying to find in a wife what he saw in his mother.
I nursed 4 babies. If you are nursing exclusively around the clock with no supplemental food or bottles being given to the baby, it works, so for about the first 9 months or so.
I was preeclamptic and almost had a stroke when I was pregnant and also started to black out during labor because my oxygen got so low. Afterwards I bled so much I became anemic. It's still dangerous even in this day and age!
I'll be fifty in November, I'm a two time divorcée and I have no children, but I have always been afraid of childbirth. I recognize that dying in childbirth today is relatively rare, but just the thought of it all, and enduring so much pain has always been terrifying to me.
Fairly accurate, good job. However “Orleans” is not pronounced the way it is in the US. Its proper pronunciation, especially for dynastic titles, is more like “Or-leon”
Me too. Screw that. But you have to remember, priests cornering/molesting the nuns wasn't unheard of either. Living off the grid with some protection and know-how on building/farming/survival was the best bet.
I was really shocked when I read that Sophie, the Countess of Wessex (Prince Edward's wife) went into premature labour and nearly bled to death during a c-section, and that was in the mid 2000s. Proves that even in this day and age there is always a risk and it can happen to anyone, even QEII's daughter in law.
This still happens. It happened to me when I had my last baby in 1998. I bled out after the delivery when I was already back in my room. I had post partum hemmorage. I was down for 3.5 minutes when the nurse found me. I had 2 surgeries to fix the damage, 24 blood transfusions which left me in a coma on life support for 4 days. It affected my left side neurologically & erased my memory. After that, they say you only get back around 60% of what you had. I'm at about 70% because I really pushed with excersize,& reading . I always tell young people, don't have your babies at home, things can change in a very few minutes..had I been at home, I wouldn't be here today. This trauma left me with ptsd, I haven't slept in the dark since.
I would just like to say, thank God for medical advancements, because I personally would not have made it back then. My baby was breech, and I had to have an emergency cesarean, both of us probably would have perished. I'm a huge history buff, but one thing I never thought about, or considered was the number of women who actually died in childbirth, and that's just speaking of royalty. I know the number of women( who died from other classes) it's probably mind-blowing. Thank you so much for this upload it is so educational, and l truly love the way you tell the story I felt like I was really back there in that era.When you can transport a reader then you truly are a fantastic storyteller and, I can listen to you all day. keep up the good work well done!!!!! ,And yes I'm a subscriber.
Henry VII didn't kidnap Elizabeth. The marriage was mooted by their mothers, Margaret Beaufort and the Dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville. Elizabeth of York, being the daughter of the extremely popular Edward IV, legitimised Henry VII's very tenuous Royal claim as his right was through a junior line of the House of Lancaster. Also, he did want to remarry after Elizabeth died. He even offered for his daughter-in-law Catherine of Aragon's sister, Queen Juana of Castile.

Hi You do amazing work with these videos. Thank you so much I love how provide the details other documentaries miss out on. Please keep up the great work. I'm a subscriber 4 life
Thank you for making this video. I absolutely LOVE history. But hadn’t heard of half of these true stories. It’s sad that getting pregnant was deemed a death sentence and in need of writing your will. Only up to a matter of decades ago! But now it’s mostly a happy occasion.
When did I say Victorian woman wrote wills? I just said that throughout history... I meant Middle Ages/Tudor era etc woman would write their wills just incase. I didn’t say that it did NOT improve by the Victorian era.... But compared to today it was still a higher risk!! So everything I said/meant was actually true.
Lindsey, I like the slower pace of your narration, and the way you pronounce names correctly. I also like how the background music doesn't interfere with your narration. It is mixed low enough so I can hear you, but it adds a nice period flavor. I am not a professional sound engineer or anything, but I am a musician and a frequent listener/watcher of You Tube documentary videos. It is so nice to see a channel done right! Thank you for your work.
Henry VII did not kidnap ELizabeth of York. He gave an oath to marry her before he set out to invade England and her mother supported the marriage. He married Elizabeth well after he was crowned.
For some reason I feel bad for Leopold. He was there the whole time to support his wife and loved her. Unlike other husbands during their wives child births in the time. And he ended up missing the last moments of his wife’s life 🥺
Thank you for posting this very interesting and informative piece of history. It's hard to find this information, unless you read a lot of books. I'm interested in finding out more about the children and where are the descendents are today. Thank you very much.💕💗💗💓
*When my son was born I died~* (If you don't understand what I'm doing this was from the Six musical. The six part stands for the 6 wives of Henry the 8th)
Mary de Bohun was neither Queen nor Princess. She was the first wife of Henry IV, but died before he came to the throne. And as he wasn't a prince before that, she wasn't a princess. Also that bit at 2:56 paints the wrong picture. 16 WAS older. The canonical age of consent at the time was 14, so yeah, they had sex. I don't think Isabella of Valois should be on this list. She was Queen of England, as wife to Richard II, but that was her first marriage. She was born a French princess and died in childbirth after her second marriage to the FRENCH Duke of Orleans. So, yes, she was a queen of England who died in childbirth, but she doesn't exactly fit the mold of the other subjects. Elizabeth of York wasn't kidnapped. They were formally betrothed. Jane was ill, but the video makes it sound like that was the reason she wasn't at the baptism. It was customary for royal mothers not to attend.
If I may add a minor correction to this otherwise informative video; for Katherine Parr, it was not a case of she wasn’t allowed to remarry, but a case of she was expected to observe a considerable period of mourning for Henry before considering herself available again. Her marriage to Thomas would probably have been more agreeable if she had waited. However, one can understand her position of finally being able to marry for love after 3 marriages that were either arranged or (in Henry’s case) difficult to refuse.
Being a different blood type from my husband gave me difficult pregnancies. I almost lost my first during the process. I couldn't eat or drink anything, because I'd vomit it up within seconds. I lost 16lbs during my pregnancy but instead of worry my gyno said it was a good thing because I was 3olbs overweight when I became pregnant. I live in the south so you can imagine the kind of stupid I deal with. After my second, my husband got a vasectomy to protect me from further damage to my health. I still have pain and sensitivity due to the needle in my spine for anesthesia. I was always told I had O positive blood type, including from my last doctor. Turns out I'm O negative. And can never give plasma due to the state of my red blood cells from my pregnancies.
My 2nd son who will be 17 on Saturday had to have forceps used to get his head out of me... He wasn't that big (7 lbs. 15 oz.) but his head was big. Thank God for forceps & Demerol as the Demerol blocked out the pain...
Really funny how Henry the 8th was son of a King so fond of his wife that he never remarried, but he himself had 6 wives.
Some believe Henry sought after the "ideal wife" like his father had with his mother. Henry wanted a loving relationship like his parents but was never satisfied with what he had. He was paranoid and thought everyone betrayed him.
I'm sure if Katherine of Aragon had given him a son (or two) that survived he would have adored her until her death. He would have had mistresses, sure but he'd never have sought divorce.
jediavatarpotter didn’t he “truly love” Jane Seymour, then thought Katherine Howard was basically Seymour pt.2 until she “cheated” on him with Thomas Culpepper and he learned she wasn’t a virgin before marriage?
@@mjpeng6516 He loved her because she gave him a son, if she hadn't he would've become bored and infuriated with her just like he did with Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn.

The high rate of maternal mortality during the middle ages must have been one of the reasons elizerbeth 1 refused to get married which is obviously expected of her to get pregnant if she did.
I think it was more seeing what he dad did, knowing a man would take the power away from her and the fact her Katherine Parrs husband abused her as a teen, that's what seems to have affected her more, childbirth was probably a second hand reason
Elizabeth I probably got more mileage out of singlehood than she ever could have gotten by being married. By remaining single, she could hold forth the promise of marriage--and alignment with the increasingly powerful England--to the rulers of multiple fractious countries, keeping them as allies (and hostages to hope). I sincerely doubt that she feared childbirth.
Emeka Onwuchekwa I think Elizabeth was more traumatised with what they believe happened to her (being raped) and saw how badly men treated women and took power away from them. I think she wanted the power for herself and to not be controlled by a man
The treatment her mother received from her father may have been the reason.
Mostly Elizabeth 1 didn't marry so she would never be under a man's thumb. You have to remember the that women had ZERO rights. Zero.Zip. Nada. Her reign would have been deeply impacted by a consort. She had to fight for her birthright to ascend the throne. Men conspired long and hard to prevent her coronation.

Giving birth to my youngest daughter almost made me bled to death. The midwives were frantically trying to stop the bleeding while the gynecologist was pumping me full of meds to keep me alive. I felt everything turning gray around me and I was very calm. My newborn daughter drinking from my breast as I tried to look at her face without blinking. If I was going to die I needed to see her one last time. The blood finally stopped and I'm fine now. My husband has forbidden us for having any more kids and that's probably the best. I love my healthy and happy daughters too much to risk it of never being able to see them again
That must have been so frightening... Of course I don't know what happened to you or what risks to subsequent pregnancies you may have but i think it is remarkable that you chose and were able to prevent any more. My God, spare a thought for those women who were unable and even still can't make that decision. It's so, so sad.
Midwives? It wasn't at a hospital where there are nurses and blood reserves?
So glad you pulled through...thanks for sharing your story. Happy for your lovely daughters and husband as well.

@@Seawitch555 a lot of cultures had the idea to cleanoften and especially during medical intervention. Jewish laws demanded strict bathing schedules for pre and post labour women and midwives and doctors always washed their hands. The Aztec’s were also exceptionally cleanly.

@@sarahs7751 -- C-sections for sure. But more importantly Ignax Semmelweiz, Hungarian physician, pioneered antiseptic procedures even before Pasteur. As a reward he was put in a mental institution where a guard beat him and he died because his treating doctor would not use anticeptic procedures. Then uppity physicians, like so many current authorative conventional physicians would NOT use new anticeptic procedures. They tell patients not to research on the internet. Ya' gotta be your own doctor in so many instances.
Yes but a lot of careless mistakes are still made. Women need to have more say in the process and they need more late term ultrasounds.

Lovely presentation, but babies were baptised usually three days after birth not weeks. This was because babies did not always survive. In order for them to be able to reach heaven after death baptism had to be within days.
Charlotte Bruce Exactly. Mothers were still in confinement during that time too.
Very interesting.find our carter DNA cousins.
It’s really miraculous that we are here. Between death in childbirth, the plague, massacres, etc... it’s really amazing we exist.
The life expectancy of the middle ages is so horribly low
Emeka Onwuchekwa most of the time if you made it past certain ages you lived longer. If you lived past 15, you mostly lived until 25, if you lived past that, you lived until 40 usually, and so on
@Infinite Mapper if you reach age 68 then you have a good chance to live for 86 years and even 95
Life expectancy is give or take about the same as it would be today if you took away the advanced medicine, safe food, and vaccines.
If you survived the childhood diseases, if you survived war/childbirth and famine. You were on the path to living a pretty long life. Older people usually died of cancer (though they didn't understand much of that back in those days.)
Most women died in childbirth and most men died in war bc warfare was CONSTANT during this period. Then ofc there was plague that killed ppl too...
@@MrEvldreamr omg times were awful back then. Makes me wonder why people complain so much now a days
I had a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I was able to get to the hospital where my son was in distress and so was I. They did a crash c-section to deliver him and I went into a full cardiac arrest and a code blue was called. As the doctors were calling my time of death a third year surgery resident came in and refused to not try to resuscitate me. He did a emergency thoracotomy, a zipper cut and found that the artery running to my spleen had destroyed my spleen so it was removed as well as part of my pancreas. I was given over 34 units of blood within the first day. I still wasn’t expected to live and if I did they were concerned about brain damage.
I spent a long time in the hospital recovering but our son was able to be discharged after 2 weeks. We were the 14th known mother with her baby to have survived a ruptured SAA.
It’s taken me many years to wrap my head around dying while giving birth.....essentially life. You’re not supposed to die when giving birth.
There isn’t a day that I am not grateful for my angel surgeon and that my son and I survived.
It's astounding that a surgery resident was able to save you. An attending surgeon must have come in during the operation. You are also very fortunate that other nearby arteries apparently weren't involved. Then again perhaps they were. Splenectomy is not difficult and the huge blood loss suggests other problems as well. Why the thoracotomy? Were you in a major hospital in a large city? I assume that you and your children have been evaluated for connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's.
wholeNwon Splenic artery aneurysm’s are rare but the risk is increased during pregnancy due to increased blood flow. It was found in pathology that I had been born with a very tiny defect in my the artery leading into my spleen. That artery also ran through the tip of my pancreas. So when the artery ruptured it impacted the tip of my pancreas too. Yes, there was an attending but other than administering basic life saving procedures CPR and intubation he was at a loss of what to do (very incompetent). I needed a emergency thoracotomy because I was bleeding out and the angel resident did a thoracotomy in order to buy himself some time in finding out the cause of my code. It also kept blood flow to my brain. But keep in mind the OB resident and attending had not told him that I had arrived in distress and during the ER c-section they found a lot of blood and obtained consent from my husband to conduct exploratory surgery to discover where the blood was coming from. The worst part is they didn’t extend my surgical cut to find the source and determined the bleeding had stopped without finding the source. This happened at a huge Naval hospital and the resident that saved my life went on to save many lives as a trauma surgeon and is now head of cardio thoracic surgery at a large hospital. I owe him my life.
@@Gamecockinnc1 That's really a great story. Obviously you were very lucky indeed. Now I understand the reason for the thoracotomy. It is hard to imagine that, as a third year, he successfully did all of this himself. Didn't he also call for an attending surgeon to come in? I don't know of a hospital where it wouldn't be required. Arterial wall defects usually prompt a search for evidence of connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's. It's important to make certain measurements in the females especially before pregnancy is contemplated. Very Happy Holidays to you and yours!
wholeNwon He did call his attending and he remembered he had seen the head of thoracic surgery earlier in the day and had him paged too. This happened at a military hospital on Memorial Day weekend so I was even luckier.
@@Gamecockinnc1 You and your baby were very fortunate indeed. I'm happy for you. Unfortunately in the ensuing years, the "norm" has become one of much less aggressive treatment and it is likely that many people die who might otherwise be saved by more appropriately interventionist physicians and surgeons .
Henry VII didn't kidnap Elizabeth of York. Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth Woodville had planned the union before the Battle at Bosworth to legitimize Henry's reign. Please do your research.
I know, this pissed me off. Also, Jane Seymour didn't attend Edward's christening because of custom, not because she was sick. She fell ill after the christening.
I just read a book on them and I was upset she said she got kidnaped
Lindsay's videos are usually inaccurate.
I was literally heading into the comments to make this exact statement. Thank you.
For Gods sake who really knows the truth...so many things are written thru the centuries who really knows the truth..??
Whoa, I gotta say, as a British History major, the account portrayed here of the basis of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York’s relationship being “kidnapping” is ABSURD. Their marriage was planned for months, if not years, very strategically, by their respective sides in order to unseat Richard III and end the “Cousins’ War” AKA “The Wars of the Roses”. Henry was crowned months before his marriage to Elizabeth, and they ended up having a very satisfactory, even loving, marriage. No “kidnap” was involved.
Fiona Clark I’m studying alevel history with a unit on tudors and there wedding was planned for years
Beth Hague There you go. My point exactly.
My thoughts exactly! No other way to say it. Absurd. Makes me question everything about this video.
There are too many inaccuracies in these videos. She mentioned that Henry Fitzroy was Henry's first son. His first son was with his first wife Katherine of Aragon, Henry Duke of Cornwall. I believe he was born on January 1, 1511, and died February 22, 1511. Henry Fitzroy was born in 1519.
why is
Lindsay Holiday saying that Henry 7th kidnapped Elizabeth, he respected and love Elizabeth and the marriage was arranged by their mothers Elizabeth Woodvile and Margret (who's last name I can't spell).
Fun fact: King Henry VIII was buried next to Jane Seymour because she was the only wife who didn't live long enough to piss him off.
true. And because she gave him a son
Lol
He’s also buried with Charles I and Queen Anne’s infant! they really threw Jane and him in a box and slapped a piece of stone with their names on it and called it a day 😂😂

It's sad because actually Henry VIII DID have more sons than daughters it's just none of them survived long enough
@@jediavatarpotter Yes, his first wife had several children, male and female, but only Mary survived. Anne lost at least one son if not two.
Actually its now theorized that Henry the Eighth had whats called Kell Blood group with McLeod's syndrome combined with Traumatic Brain Injury. Kells is a protein in the reproductive cells that can be positive or negative. If a Negative man, most likely what Henry was tries to reproduce with a positive protein woman they will have a child but no more. Female babies survive more often then male children. Henry got a traumatic brain injury when a horse landed on Henry and knocked him out.
Yes but also it depends on how fertile the female is 🙄
@@Veronica-bc6pp fertility has nothing to do with the baby's gender

At least her friends stepped in to raise her daughter after she was sent to an orphanage.
Wow I had never even heard of Princess Charlotte before today but the story of her and her son is so sad. It sounds like her husband must have cared about her very much if he was by her side in a time where the husband being there for support wasn’t very common. Imagine his grief. Even the poor doctor blamed himself enough to kill himself?! So tragic. Modern medicine and science should always be appreciated.
She is mentioned several times in the movie The young Victoria and in the series Victoria.
And Albert was there to support Victoria too, all nine times (fortunately all her births went well).
You'd be surprised how many women die in childbirth every year even now.

See the difference between Ireland and England in those days... In most of Europe, yes, life expectancy, especially for women, was pretty low. In Ireland, not so much. I can name several Iron age, Medieval, and Renaissance Irish folks who lived into their 70s or 80s, like Queen Medb of Connacht (who had 10 children total, 8 sons and 2 daughters) who lived into her 80s and only died because she was murdered by her nephew, St. Brigid of Kildare who vowed herself to chastity but lived into her 70s, and Gráinne Ní Mháille (Grace O'Malley) who had four children, including one who was born at sea... Then they were attacked so Gráinne got up an hour after giving birth and fought. She lived to be 73, passing away peacefully in her sleep after retiring from a long life of seafaring and rebelling.
Ireland was also noted for being very clean, by several different groups over many centuries. They washed their faces every morning, cleaned their teeth, bathed their whole person and washed their hair every night, with soap mind you, and often wore perfumes. I believe it was the Romans who once commented on how lovely they smelt. Its also suggested that the Irish introduced soap to the mainland, but that's mostly speculation.
So pretty much, if you were going to live in the middle ages, do so in Ireland cause, well, you'll actually live.
I gotta admit, that's impressive!
@@ndiyabucaphukelaubusobakho1732 thanks, I do agree indeed, it is quite impressive. Grace herself once commented to Queen Elizabeth herself the differences between hygiene in Ireland and England... As it goes, during the famous meeting between Grace O'Malley and Queen Elizabeth, Grace sneezes. One of the ladies of the court hands Grace a fine handkerchief to blow her nose in. She did do then proceeded to throw it into the fire. The queen gave her a look and informed her that it was meant for Grace's pocket, and how rude it was of Grace to throw it away, that it came across that Grace didn't value the fine English cloth. So Grace, looking Elizabeth dead in the eyes, says 'well, in Ireland we value cleanliness over putting a soiled thing back into our pockets'. This actually made Elizabeth laugh.
One can clearly see the differences between health and hygiene in the two lands, even as late as the Elizabethan period which we all know had horrible hygiene practices. In Ireland, it was still a sharp contrasting difference which is strongly highlighted here. We can see why Grace, and the other women and men of Ireland, lived so long!
During the early medieval period. Mainland European monarchs and nobility sent their children to Ireland to be educated. I'm talking about before the 11th century. The Irish were very advanced. We done things differently but things worked out for us. The English didn't like our system. We became 'barbarians' under their eyes.
@Hannah Dyson they are semi mythological. So yeah, I'd take that with a grain of salt.
@Mimi: You might be able to find information on the Internet about this. People rarely bathed, and even in the early 20th century it was common for people to bathe and change their clothes once a week. In fact, my parents had neighbors who moved in from some hillbilly state that did this as late as the 1950s. In large English cities people used to use chamber pots in their bedrooms to go to the bathroom in at night. The contents would then often be thrown into the street along with kitchen garbage. Rats were everywhere and people wore platform shoes to walk through the garbage. The smell from all this isn't just a smell; it's bacteria floating in the air. Finally, rat-borne diseases (bubonic and pneumonic plague) killed half the population of Europe.
I gave three births and still alive. I can't be more thankful for the fact I'm still breathing.
Worth noting, as Charlotte was dying, her husband’s physician-in-ordinary, Christian Stockmar, left her room to try again and wake Leopold, but as he was doing so, he heard Charlotte frantically yell to him with his nickname, “Stocky! Stocky!” Just as Stockmar ran back into her room, Charlotte was already dead. Absolutely haunting.
My second pregnancy was placenta praevia; that would have been me a goner, thank God for caesareans and modern medicine!
i as well, total placenta previa.
Mine was velementous insertion. Its rare my doctor didnt even know whst it was! She called a 75 year old doctor who told her what to do.
Cindy Snow how did your doctor not know what that was? I’ve seen several as an L&D nurse.
*Thank Science
What on earth is that?
My aunt started hemorrhaging violently during childbirth and my uncle started telling her, "Don't close your eyes, Mel." For fear of losing her. Luckily she and the baby are alive and well.
I think this was the reason Elizabeth 1 never married.
It was said that there were various reasons on why she chose not to marry despite having said to have affections for some of her suitors. I like to think her father is also at fault for that one, considering how many wives he had gone through.
I think it was because of Katherine Howard. I could be wrong though.
Elizabeth would have remembered Katherine Howard, unlike her mother as she was too young. She may have seen Katherine as a playmate as I think Katherine was child-like her self..
She did not marry because of her father, king Henry 8.He executed her mother and that was the reasonIn fact, she really wanted children. She was just afraid that this child would be used to take her throne

My mum had two children and on both occassions, she suffered just about every complication one could go through during pregnancy. Her labours were quick, too quick, and resulted in heavy bleeding. They nearly claimed her life. After she had me, she had the birth control surgery and that caused another complication and a huge tumour growing inside her womb.
However, my selfish father wanted another child, a son. He tried to pursuade her to have the surgery undone so that she could conceive again, all that time the tumour was growing inside her womb.
To this date, I never forgave my father for the risk and danger he was going to out her through after the two earlier pregnancies and labours going so badly.
Seeing this youtube clip reminded me the pain and sorrow I felt for my mother. If there is to be a another life, I want her not to have me.
Poor Charlotte, the doctors were so concerned with her appearance that they killed her. This kind of culture still happens today with several publications encouraging women to diet while pregnant, even though it’s been shown to have disastrous results.
They were encouraging her to diet because she was gaining too much weight, even modern day gynos would tell a pregnant woman to reduce her intake of food if she is getting too fat because it would make childbirth too difficult. The problem was that Charlotte fluctuated too much with her weight and she probably got blood poisoning after childbirth
@@Lumosnight doctors tell women the opposite when pregnant actually. they’re carrying for two and weight hardly complicates an already difficult process of childbirth. Skinny women aren’t the only women to fall pregnant.
@@Damodred_Heiress pregnant women are not supposed to ‘eat for two’ - any doctor would tell you that. A newborn only weighs 3-4kg. Women are only supposed to gain up to 12kg during pregnancy- any more than that you will have a difficult childbirth or risk developing gestational diabetes.
The baby was 9lbs so they may have had good reason since big babies don’t come out as easily
@@LumosnightThe diet was extreme though. No modern Gyno would advise the diet Charlotte was given . A British OB/ GYN said as much
Maternal weight has a factor on high birthweight but some women just have big babies/ small babies naturally

Me too. Screw that. But you have to remember, priests cornering/molesting the nuns wasn't unheard of either. Living off the grid with some protection and know-how on building/farming/survival was the best bet.
-n-n-n-n@@ARedMagicMarker there's n-n-n-no way!

My 3rd great grandma died of an infection after giving birth to a baby girl
Thats so sad... they are in a better ...God bless you.
My Great Great Great Aunt died while giving birth to a son who was so big she died of exhaustion
Hi I’m a dog just like the lady who died after 2 days of labor ..... giving birth to a 9 lb baby
“Rubbing him with mustard” I’ve heard it all
“COME ON THOMAS! HELP ME RUB THIS BABY WITH MUSTARD AND BRANDY”
That's okay, my dad was born not breathing, they burned him with cigarettes and rubbed him with alcohol and smack3d him around
I was really shocked when I read that Sophie, the Countess of Wessex (Prince Edward's wife) went into premature labour and nearly bled to death during a c-section, and that was in the mid 2000s. Proves that even in this day and age there is always a risk and it can happen to anyone, even QEII's daughter in law.
This still happens. It happened to me when I had my last baby in 1998. I bled out after the delivery when I was already back in my room. I had post partum hemmorage. I was down for 3.5 minutes when the nurse found me. I had 2 surgeries to fix the damage, 24 blood transfusions which left me in a coma on life support for 4 days. It affected my left side neurologically & erased my memory. After that, they say you only get back around 60% of what you had. I'm at about 70% because I really pushed with excersize,& reading . I always tell young people, don't have your babies at home, things can change in a very few minutes..had I been at home, I wouldn't be here today. This trauma left me with ptsd, I haven't slept in the dark since.
Sounds similar to princess charlotte but without all the surgery and stuff
Oh wow 😳
I would just like to say, thank God for medical advancements, because I personally would not have made it back then. My baby was breech, and I had to have an emergency cesarean, both of us probably would have perished. I'm a huge history buff, but one thing I never thought about, or considered was the number of women who actually died in childbirth, and that's just speaking of royalty. I know the number of women( who died from other classes) it's probably mind-blowing. Thank you so much for this upload it is so educational, and l truly love the way you tell the story I felt like I was really back there in that era.When you can transport a reader then you truly are a fantastic storyteller and, I can listen to you all day. keep up the good work well done!!!!! ,And yes I'm a subscriber.
Henry V11 never kidnapped Elizabeth of York. Their marriage was arranged between their respective mothers to unify the houses of York and Lancaster.
Back in those times people did not bathe often enough and that didn't help very much
@Hannah Dyson: There was a queen who bathed once a week "whether she needed it or not." 😁
Hannah Dyson lies
@@ThriftedDadHat Nope .
@@carolhutchinson7763 Of you mean Elizabeth the First she bathed three times a week
They had sponge baths . They weren't that bad
Henry VII didn't kidnap Elizabeth. The marriage was mooted by their mothers, Margaret Beaufort and the Dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville. Elizabeth of York, being the daughter of the extremely popular Edward IV, legitimised Henry VII's very tenuous Royal claim as his right was through a junior line of the House of Lancaster. Also, he did want to remarry after Elizabeth died. He even offered for his daughter-in-law Catherine of Aragon's sister, Queen Juana of Castile.

I could see myself probably dying because I had to have an emergency c section when I had my now 2yr old
Hi You do amazing work with these videos. Thank you so much I love how provide the details other documentaries miss out on. Please keep up the great work. I'm a subscriber 4 life
Arghhh so many deaths, that's so sad. To hear each story knowing it would end in tradegy. 😫
Thank you for making this video. I absolutely LOVE history. But hadn’t heard of half of these true stories. It’s sad that getting pregnant was deemed a death sentence and in need of writing your will. Only up to a matter of decades ago! But now it’s mostly a happy occasion.
When did I say Victorian woman wrote wills? I just said that throughout history... I meant Middle Ages/Tudor era etc woman would write their wills just incase. I didn’t say that it did NOT improve by the Victorian era.... But compared to today it was still a higher risk!! So everything I said/meant was actually true.
I recently found ur chAnnel n it's nugget of cool knowledge.
This hits hard.....
Lindsey, I like the slower pace of your narration, and the way you pronounce names correctly. I also like how the background music doesn't interfere with your narration. It is mixed low enough so I can hear you, but it adds a nice period flavor. I am not a professional sound engineer or anything, but I am a musician and a frequent listener/watcher of You Tube documentary videos. It is so nice to see a channel done right! Thank you for your work.
Queens of England : “Charlotte of Wales”
add: "Isabella of England"
Edward V hey! How’s the WiFi in heaven?
@@joysauce619 I'm in the Tower of London, and the WiFi is just fine
Edward V oop sorry! Well how’s everyone there? Tell Anne boylen I said hi! (If she’s there and I actually spelled her name right)
@@joysauce619 Okay! I'll tell Mrs. Boleyn you said hi, I just have to comfort my crying younger brother Richard
Henry VII did not kidnap ELizabeth of York. He gave an oath to marry her before he set out to invade England and her mother supported the marriage. He married Elizabeth well after he was crowned.
Why am I so sad about princess Charlotte? I didn't even know she existed until today 😥
For some reason I feel bad for Leopold. He was there the whole time to support his wife and loved her. Unlike other husbands during their wives child births in the time. And he ended up missing the last moments of his wife’s life 🥺
Thank you for posting this very interesting and informative piece of history. It's hard to find this information, unless you read a lot of books. I'm interested in finding out more about the children and where are the descendents are today. Thank you very much.💕💗💗💓
Something about lindsay's voice just makes me wanna learn all this
Elizabeth of York wasn’t kidnapped. She was pledged to Henry in order to cement peace between the white roses and red roses
King Arthur: I need you to have a baby so he can be the next king Queen: ok. Unborn baby: I’m about to end this lady’s whole career
*Jane Seymour the only one he truly loved-*
Rude!
•s h o o k v l o g s• that’s cause she didn’t live long enough for him to be bored of her
Oxenfree Alex I think it was because she birthed his first son though.
•s h o o k v l o g s• that’s part of it yes
But while she was dying
He didn’t even visit her chambers
*When my son was born I died~*
(If you don't understand what I'm doing this was from the Six musical. The six part stands for the 6 wives of Henry the 8th)
6:30 Poor Henry he must have been so sad of her mom
Mary de Bohun was neither Queen nor Princess. She was the first wife of Henry IV, but died before he came to the throne. And as he wasn't a prince before that, she wasn't a princess. Also that bit at 2:56 paints the wrong picture. 16 WAS older. The canonical age of consent at the time was 14, so yeah, they had sex.
I don't think Isabella of Valois should be on this list. She was Queen of England, as wife to Richard II, but that was her first marriage. She was born a French princess and died in childbirth after her second marriage to the FRENCH Duke of Orleans. So, yes, she was a queen of England who died in childbirth, but she doesn't exactly fit the mold of the other subjects.
Elizabeth of York wasn't kidnapped. They were formally betrothed.
Jane was ill, but the video makes it sound like that was the reason she wasn't at the baptism. It was customary for royal mothers not to attend.
If I may add a minor correction to this otherwise informative video; for Katherine Parr, it was not a case of she wasn’t allowed to remarry, but a case of she was expected to observe a considerable period of mourning for Henry before considering herself available again. Her marriage to Thomas would probably have been more agreeable if she had waited. However, one can understand her position of finally being able to marry for love after 3 marriages that were either arranged or (in Henry’s case) difficult to refuse.
I would have died with my first most likely my daughter too. So I think about this often.

Thank you.
Really Interesting.
Two of my children were born in " Queen Charlotte's Hospital". London.

What a cool perspective to look at the women who so easily become footnotes in their husband's and families' stories!
Geez, I'm amazed how we humans survived to this year despite the cruel practices in the past
I feel bad for my great grandma - she had 11 kids, all 16 months apart and one was my grandpa!
Being a different blood type from my husband gave me difficult pregnancies. I almost lost my first during the process. I couldn't eat or drink anything, because I'd vomit it up within seconds. I lost 16lbs during my pregnancy but instead of worry my gyno said it was a good thing because I was 3olbs overweight when I became pregnant. I live in the south so you can imagine the kind of stupid I deal with. After my second, my husband got a vasectomy to protect me from further damage to my health. I still have pain and sensitivity due to the needle in my spine for anesthesia. I was always told I had O positive blood type, including from my last doctor. Turns out I'm O negative. And can never give plasma due to the state of my red blood cells from my pregnancies.
I love your videos, history is fascinating.
My 2nd son who will be 17 on Saturday had to have forceps used to get his head out of me... He wasn't that big (7 lbs. 15 oz.) but his head was big. Thank God for forceps & Demerol as the Demerol blocked out the pain...
man.. i just wanna give charlotte a hug :(
Many inaccuracies.... please fact check. Otherwise delightful presentation, well done you!
