Please consider supporting me at / lindsayholiday and help me make more fascinating videos!
Throughout history one thing has had more impact on women’s lives than almost anything else - giving birth to children. In this three part series we will explore various aspects of this paramount and awe-inspiring process and how it has changed across cultures and through time. From how we think about conception and fertility to some rather kooky pregnancy tests; from the day to day realities of pregnancy and how pregnant women were seen by their communities to the changing medical practices surrounding that most amazing dangerous moment in women’s lives, childbirth.

"A pregnancy without the sin of sex was seen as ideal but that didn't work for most people"
most people ?
where R my tacos lol
Yep. Some utilised the beautiful technique to conceive without sex know as
°.•*Lying*•.°
Mary
means sex before marriage tho
You could say insemination is like that. I'm sure some women just ....I dunno, lay on their backs and they were inseminated with sperm somehow.
I too become hysterical when my womb travels to my head
😂😂😂
Same girl. Same. Being a woman is tough.
💯
🤣🤣
Same with me when my testicles rice about! I hate when they settle on the soles of my feet and I notice only after jumping out of bed!
I hate it when my womb meanders around my body. So annoying.
I know right, very inconvenient and infuriating.
Did you try honey?
Everly Nevins more of a garlic girl, myself
I jump up and down really hard when it gets up too high 😆
like it always happens in the most inconvenient times like why womb! stay in your fucking place until we are home!
Ladies, be thankful we live in this time and not any of the periods mentioned in this video.
Absolutely
Oh yeah for sure
Idk, I feel like I’d be okay living in ancient Persia as a temple prostitute 🤔
yep, no matter how bad our modern life is with climate change,pandemic,and other stuffs it's still the best time to live as women
rizu murdia Pretty much the best time for ANYBODY😉. Well, in most countries, anyway. Some are still in the BCE era.
Sex was forbidden while naked? That's...unique.
The Age of Fabulous That’s the ACTUAL sin 😑
2 Devious That’s why you see those sex paintings with them fully clothed
@@TheAgeofFabulous , just because you saw something on a show doesn't mean it's true. I live and do social work in one of New York's largest Hasidic centers. I hear a comical amount of sex questions from Hasidic people and hear about their sex lives in the process.
Their wedding nights can be awkward because they are inexperienced, fast on wedding days, and have wedding receptions that last ten hours or so. But they make love naked, kiss and touch, and enjoy sex as much as other people. It's completely divorced from affection though, so they'll keep having enjoyable sex even if their marriage is otherwise breaking down.
The exceptions are the Gur and Skver sects that have draconian rules that the others find ridiculous.
no it's a kink as well
have you watched Handmaid's Tale.
As someone who is currently pregnant, I'm very happy I live in first world country in the 21st century. Some of these facts had me gripping my stomach in terror
That's wonderful! Congrats!
Congrats! Maybe it's a good idea not to watch the last episode.
Congrats, and good luck.
Aww, congratulations! I wish you well in the future ☺️
CONGRATS, EMMA!!
I find it contradicting that men were idealized as basically the producers of life, with women hardly playing a role but the women were often the centres of ridicule and chastisement.
Unfortunately it's still that way today, in different and lesser forms. It's thanks to women who keep speaking up that such things erode
Women! We always get the short end of the stick here. I mean forget about the fact that we actually have to carry the child. Annoying.
Makes me like some pagan cultures that were goddess worshipers because the inheritance was from mother to daughter, and women were seen as life givers. It didn’t matter who the father was cause women didn’t need a test to know it was their kid 😂
Not to mention that in some cases back then when a female is produced and not a male offspring they blame the female for it.
@@baymax6835 this comment needs more likes. The audacity.
the current queen of england’s parents were born roughly 20 years after we discovered how babies were made. that’s crazy
I never would have thought of it like that lol so thank you for that. 😂 That is really crazy.
whoa... I love making weird connections like that.
England worships inbreds who are not even British primarily by blood and who also are that dumb to not even know where babies come from.
WhoKnownsAndWhoCares? True! Though I think they knew where babies came from and connected male and female, but it was that last scientist in the late 1880s who thus video says connected egg and Sperm. Doesn’t sound right to me ....could it be?
They were born before planes were a thing and the Queen is the same age as televisions
The sad part of this is. Even today, woman are literally get pressurized to produce a child (usually a son) within the first year of marriage. With no regards to if she is even physically and emotionally ready to have a child.
True. So sad, in my opinion.
It’s sad in today’s day and age that women are told at an early age that their purpose in life is to: date, get married, reproduce, be the primary parent and THEN they can determine their life.
XDranzer000 Not to negate men's issues, but that's a totally irrelevant point in this discussion.
exactly ! A woman's very own opinion and will is often overlooked while she is being coerced to "brood", often times against her will .... Had I not gotten pregnant while the "first" time with a man, I would have NEVER EVER gotten pregnant by choice, a pregnant woman is the most hideous looking thing in existence .... just sayin'
What?? Did I miss the memo?? Today women are pressured to produce a child in first year of marriage?? From what I have seen many couples don't bother to GET married even AFTER the first or second child is born or at all.
Worse still, a woman has two or more children by different fathers while not being married to any of them.
The only time I hear of urgency to conceive so soon after marriage is when the woman has postponed marriage until her late thirties, when true, that clock is ticking.
I died when you said "if a woman wanted to conceive a man-child" 😂😂😂
That is the LAST THING any woman wants
kh22912 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is not a nice remark. I am very happy with having my son!
@@sidoniewinterpasternak9938 nowadays a "man-child" is a man who doesn't do ANYTHING for themselves, and acts like a child; you're the soul caregiver- feeding him cleaning his clothes etc (so his mum over mothers him well into his adulthood and instead of leaving the nest and making a life he leaves the nest look for a wife, to replace his mother that's always cared for him as if he's been 8 years old his whole life)
Your son is not a man-child- unless he's 30 and yelling out to you fron his bedroom that he has no clean clothes, that he needs you to take of his whole life or he won't survive. Like he is still the young child that does rely on you but is an adult
That's all they want in China!
Sidonie Winter Pasternak they mean a lazy grown man lol back when this was recorded they meant son but now it means a lazy grown man
Yeast infections must have been prevelant 😳
I might be wrong but I have a suspicion women didn't stick food up their vaginas. I suspect those recommendations were written by men who didn't understand female anatomy and women chuckled about how dumb it was.
Garlic and honey are antibacterial garlic is a remedy for yeast infections , and since they didn’t have sugar a major cause of yeast infection maybe not
Many didn't have high sugar diets like we have today, so it may have helped
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Nowadays we understand that the vagina is a self cleaning masterpiece, and unless one's doctor specifically says to douche, it should be readily avoided. Even though stuff like honey has well-known antiseptic properties, I can't imagine actually having a quasi douche with it.
Yeast infections are at least better than UTIs...
marie-antoinette and louis are literally the fricking best example why sex-ed is so important hahahaha😂
Ikr lmao
I saw a documentary about them...I've always thought doing sex comes naturally.. I was so wrong. 😂
😆😅🤣😂💯
Ummm can you tell why? I am not able to understand 😅
@@taehyungssenorita6634 She talks about it briefly at 8:19
You didn't search for this. It showed up in your reccomendations.
You are absolutely right! 😂
You're wrong just this once bud ÒWÓ
Hmm I wonder how it got on my recommendations
Yes. Yes it did.
I think i watched the planned pregnancy barbie parody(look it up its hilarious)
the fact that you can literally DIE from childbirth is so terrifying to me
I almost died with my 3rd. Had to get a blood transfusion
my relative died in childbirth after 3rd kid. She never wanted kids but her husband pressurised her. She inspired me not have get pregnant and have kids ever. Yes childbirth could carry a health warning.
Well if it was that bad, we wouldn’t have 8 billion people on earth
@@AussieAdventures77 yes. Because majority of women get pre-natal care in a hospital which has routine tests, give birth in the hospital or with a provider. And gets care after the birth. As of 2010.. the number of dying during pregnancy during birth and after birth is rising...
We were really stupid back in the day.
Still are!
Ignorance isn't the same as stupidity
@@nomine4027 i was going to say same thing. there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. humanity was ignorant as to how this all worked.
Sad but true 😂
We still are in this day.
Do you recon the first dude to observe sperm under a microscope was just skeeting on a microscope slide for the heck of it and was then like "wait, wtf?".
Imagine being his colleague and reading his publication, and then realizing that you use that microscope too.
Brittany Cole I can almost guarantee it. Considering how many medical discoveries have been made due to mishandling lab equipment lmao
@@Romanticoutlaw bruh lmao
Maybe they all worked together on this... project. 😏
I guess that’s what they called “being married to the job”.
Haha I'm pretty sure it was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, he was pretty famous for looking at literally everything under his microscope.
“...the womb of a hare for a boy, or the testicles of a hare for a girl...” people were really just making sh*t up back then, weren’t they?
"Just uhh...eat some rabbit balls you'll be 'iight"
Yeah
🤣🤣
That's what people will say about our theories in the future too ya know lol
😭😭😭😭
The Ancients were obsessed about women and onions, weren’t they?!😳
Stephanie Johnson yes because they caught on early how onions are good for your body and hair! Onion juice can be used as a treatment for alopecia (researches in June 29, 2002). It’s filled with sulphur, anti oxidants and anti inflammatories. and acts like a stimulant that boosts blood flow. It can help reduce eczema, hereditary hair loss and more!
@@adjoad-o2774 I'm still not sticking onions up there.
It's the layers man.
@@adjoad-o2774 I wonder if there are capsules of it...
@@RedRoseSeptember22 not sure, but i think its best if you use it from scratch!
It’s so weird to think conception wasn’t fully understood until 1876...?!
That wasn’t even that long ago 😂
imagine today. We know a hell of a lot more about it, can create it via artifical insemination, and still think the baby is not alive inside the womb. amazing. We are still learning...
145 year's ago if I did it right. Damn
@@sofias7527 wtf are you even talking about. never mind. I don't give a fuck
I mean we clearly didn’t need to understand to get it done lol. No need to fix what isn’t broken XD
learning how and why is just fun
I wouldn't say 'understood', I would say no longer taboo. For many many generations, it was thought of as a sin to do "it" for ANY reason other than to quickly get it over with so that you can have children. I've also heard that men and women would get executed if they say or show that they enjoyed doing the act in general from pleasure or happiness instead of just for a child. So basically the idea of a super romantic and loving act would've gotten you dead.
it’s really interesting how a lot of ancient ideas about conception *almost* had the *general* concept.. an egg might be considered female “seed” if you’re going by the fact the two equivalent components need to come together. Women *sort of* have a bunch of microscopic babies in them that need a male seed to activate the growth.
Yep, they weren't entirely off :)
Sperm is more like pollen than a seed. Likening it too a seed is overestimating it a lot.
One of the biggest ironies back then is often the blame on women for giving birth to a daughter when in fact it is the men who carry the XY sex chromosomes to determine the biological sex. It ain't our fault the strongest sperm of the batch carried another X lol
Edit: one of the strongest. Luck and other stuff also play a role too
But the ovary choose which sperm to take so it's not the fastest or strongest sprem it's the sprem chosen by the ovary
And fast
@@jhsemoxitha3821 I don't think so, whichever sperm gets into the egg is the lucky one. The ovaries don't "choose" it lol.
@@jhsemoxitha3821 please tell me this comment was a joke💀
Agreed up until the last sentence
“W-What’s this in my drink?”
Oh, just Burnt Placenta.
As an asexual woman, these documentaries about pregnancy are an absolutely nightmare, I watch a lot of horror movies and they are not as scary as this. However, I am here because I am curious. Thank you for all the history education!
Same here!
Same here
Asexual means to self reproduce. Humans are not asexual. You’re just afraid of sex.
Same here
As an asexual woman, yes, I agree, I would hate to get preggers and give birth. It sound a disgusting nightmare
I love this channel. The best history channel on TH-cam.
I would agree if it didn't have x-rated material pop up without me requesting it.
I agree, i love this channel
I wish they weren’t so bent on propaganda when it comes to Christianity in the Middle Ages.
@@misso295 well, Christianity in the Middle Ages was pretty shit
@@ssuswlkr What x-rated material??
so glad i never had to eat a placenta or drink powdered sexual organs of an animal.
Midlife Maniacal Mayhem yes you would you sick f
People still eat placentas
On thank god!! And oh my God!!!! 😱
A lot of people do eat placentas. Supposedly it's pretty good for you
Eating the placenta, which is generally ground up and put into capsules, can make a huge difference in the recovery of the mother after childbirth!!
People in the past all had mis-CONCEPTIONs eheheh

I laughed out loud about inserting honey in the v to bring the uterus down there. I imagined it being like trying to lure a pet back into the house after it runs away. "Here womb-y! Come on! There's a good uterus. You stay put now."
LOL XD
Lol
Now by God that was very funny,
I imagine UTIs
🤣🤣😂
I'm a pregnant history buff, so this series is right up my alley!!
So to speak...😜😜😜
Tunnel vision? 😂
sad women stll want to be trapped
What I’d like to know though is about the history of reproductive disorders- or the history of THE TALK. How early were children taught about sex, mensuration, and pregnancy?
Mady Alvarez they were usually given the talk the night before the wedding. And then they had to figure it out on the wedding night.
So teenagers and young kids who menstuated at 11,12, or 13 had no idea what was happening?. It would have been a frightening experience. But i guess early English people lived in a more frightening world than we do today.
Depends on the time period and place. I don't know for sure, but I imagine a lot of parents in more prudish societies just...never gave it.
Sharon Budworth This truly was a frightening experience, not just in England. Even today in many cultures where young girls get married say their wedding nights were awful.
My mom's parents literally never told her about it. She had to go to the library in college to find out what everything is and does. 😦
‘Women, naturally cold, needed a man’s heat’ truer words have never been spoke. Like seriously. Men are just space heaters...right?
They are certainly warm and toasty :D
Men always wonder why women dont enjoy sex. Obviously if it's so great, he ain't doing it right.
@@lagatita1623 or other reasons
Except mine apparently lol he's always cooler than me!

Lol true
_"They believed the womb was a separate entity that could move around the body."_
I'm glad people don't think that now 😳💀
I'm trying to imagine painful menstrual cramps in my brain. Can't even imagine how horrific that would feel and I get pretty bad migraines sometimes.
Those old home pregnancy tests often couldn't be read until the next day. Our accurate results in 60 seconds tests have spoiled us for sure. I can't imagine going to sleep wondering if I am or if I'm not.
I am SOglad that we have modern medicine, because i would not need to or want to put onions and garlic in my ladies places XD
Pregnancy is a horror ,what a relief we have the anticonceptionpil.

Would that harm the baby?
Spoiler alert: it ain’t good

True
During this pandemic i am positive my womb went to my head
Reading this 7 months later and cannot stop laughing 😆 😆😆😆
Nope. If I don’t want to procreate in the 21st century there’s NO WAY I’d want to 11 thousand years ago...
Especially when they barely knew how it happened
YES
It was conception that we didn't understand not procreation itself.
Especially now that people think surgery is a good idea for delivery, and feeding babies fake milk is healthy.
I'm taking a screen shot of the calendar. Whew , now I have the tool I need.
I did the same thing 😅
The first home pregnancy test was patented in 1969 ahahahahahha nice
Najwa Sabila haha nice

HAHA FANNI NAMBER
Pffffffffff
Th fuck
I find the way they found out if they were pregnant with wheat interesting. I just wonder what made them come up with that.
Yes! The ancient Egyptians were the first to document this practice, they could even tell if the baby was male or female depending on how the wheat germinated. So fascinating and Ingenious!!
It’s still valid! Try it those of you trying to get pregnant. If you are, the wheat germinates in 3 days.
Fun fact: Lindsay showed the Arnolfini portrait (of the Renaissance woman in the green dress) at 1:00 and 8:00, but the portrait does not actually depict a pregnant woman. It depicts a presumable virgin at her wedding. In the late 15th Century, gathering fabric at the front of the dress to create a pregnancy-like bump was actually the fashion. There is even some speculation that thanks to this fashion, many women were able to conceal pregnancy out of wedlock.
Interesting. Though now I'm wondering whether the woman in the painting was also using said fashion method to hide a pregnancy lol
Does anyone else think the monks forbid sex for everyone because they were salty they couldn't have sex.
The if I can't no one can ideal if you will.
Monks had plenty of sex. With their maids, widows in the church and Nuns
Why do you think the Church ran orphanages? To hide the identity of their offspring
Perhaps, though maybe they were highly religious. I find that stuff nasty so maybe there were some people like me back then but trying to infringe on others lives?
Yep that's always been my thought lol.
@@holliemollie5409 Interesting.
there has been some research that indicates the monks were homosexual so I think that plays a part in it. it makes sense if you think about it. what man would swear to celibacy and live in a place where there are no females? gay men
Lindsay: The immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary was seen as ideal but didn’t work for most people
*Well, it didn’t work for ALL people*
I just love learning that when women couldn't get pregnant, it was then (and now) considered her problem, not the men's problem.....aaaahhh, the sexism we as women must face..."great" right?😐😐😐
It kinda is, when a man ejaculates in a women’s vagina it is the women’s fault as she is unsuccessful to fully produce the egg. It’s no ones fault but if it was anyone’s the only logical one is the women. Also women think “sexism” so differently these days. Men have way more problems than women like more deaths on the job, more likely to have their kids taken by the women after a divorce, being more likely to harsher jail penalties, I can go on and on.
JohnnyBoy Gaming semen with low count of sperms in semen are also there ,and low motility too u know science first
@@johncarbone1949 men can be infertile also! Ever heard of male factor infertility? There is a problem with the amount of sperm or there can be structural abnormalities in the sperm or there is a problem with motility of the sperm! It is not always a woman's fault
Honestly we're still treated that way today by people. Lots of men don't want to believe that it could be an issue with their sperm and so they place all the blame on their woman for not conceiving, and they don't want to put in the effort it takes to make a baby. So it's extremely frustrating.
@@johncarbone1949 WTF? Yeah, we can totally control what our bodies do, that makes sense. ((sarcasm))
The advice was obviously written by men, because since the beginning of time they have had this idea that you can just shove whatever up there like it's a damn coat pocket.
An onion? Really? Like the big ones or what!?
That's a terrifying thought lol.
Oh gawd!!! Ugh, the infections of the female genitalia must have been out of control with all the garlic & onions stuck in there 😳🤢😷
Garlic and honey are natural antybiotics. Educate yourself
cokadead While you are correct on the natural antibiotic part however, putting these things into the female vaginal area is horrid! In fact, putting anything into that region is a no-no!!! How about you do a little more research before commenting on things you have little knowledge on!
Jenn McG are u a doctor
@@vaniapinto8214 its called common sense...
Ben Dover No, she’s a woman. Trust me. We know 🤦🏻♀️
Yay for Midwives!!! I happen to be one and it’s great that I am able to help women have the birth experience they want-instead of being told how to give birth by a doctor. Thanks for this series!
At 1:00 I remember being shown that painting in my high school art class. I was told the woman in the painting isn't really pregnant, but strangely 'looking' pregnant was considered attractive at the time that painting was created.
I think my favourite part of historical childbirth is that birthing chairs are still used and found beneficial, despite how old they are
Birthing stools are
A chair? I’m not sure that would be helpful
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Basically it lets you be quite close to a squat position, which is easier to give birth in, but the chair supporting you lets you focus on pushing rather than balancing. They're very useful in labour, and people often give birth in different positions, it's not just the lying on your back that you see most often in media. Some women even give birth standing up!
The Egyptians are amazing. Ahead of their time! Very beautiful documentary!
😒 out of all of this ancient craziness they made more sense than most.
When my 3 year old niece was told I was pregnant, she asked if I had a rabbit in the belly 🤣 She's always seen me surrounded with pet rabbits, so 🤷♀️
That's cute
more like a parasite in the body
So fun fact about how I was conceived. My dad had a vasectomy. He got the no baby juice clearance. So my parents did the deed. AND BAM HELLO I AM HERE! My dad’s vas deferens grew back lmao
A vasectomy doesn’t give instant results!
Lol nice
@@possumbold they got clearance that he was infertile
Wow, I hope this video gets to be used in schools some day - very informative and an excellent presentation. Well done :)
Thank you for continuing to post during this time. I enjoy watching your channel
The Virgin Mary is not a fertility goddess lol. She’s not a goddess at all. Just wanted to clear that up...
There are a lot of errors in this video in regards to Catholic theology
Not necessarily but it’s not (or was not) uncommon to pray for the virgin to intercede on your behalf when trying to conceive
Saint/iconography distinctions are only cared about by Catholics. Literally everybody else, even Christians, are like "that sure does bear a striking resemblance to a golden calf, but whatever you say dude"
With how Catholics pray to her as if she were a goddess, it’s a distinction without a difference.
No shes not. But she is an outlet for Christians to embrace femininity in their religion. Jesus is a man, God is allegedly a man, and the holy spirit is a non entity. There is no avenue to explore the female experience through this so saints and other historical women in the bible are used to fulfill those needs. Today we have science to fulfill such needs but in the past religion was a very comforting thing for people trying to understand something there wasn't a lot of knowledge about. Thus religions accommodated that. (and praying to a goddess or saint seems like a way less destructive form of inducing fertility than shoving honey up your vagina) There is also just this attractive appeal to polytheism where there are multiple gods to assist you with your life. Catholic Saints accomplish that desire without being blasphemous in the eyes of monotheistic obsessed Christians. Saints are not used in many protestant faiths because of the blasphemy accusations.
I'm an agnostic so I really don't care about the debate about how one should worship their god. I don't think monotheism, monolateral monotheism, faux monotheism, or polytheism are inherently better than one another. I just hope this is informative.
Lindsay, you have the best and well made documentary videos. You win the teacher of the year, when it comes to knowing and bringing in depth well researched history to the world.
Such a treasure trove of information, wonderfully compiled! Thank you! It shines the light on a delicate and often painful subject throughout antiquity. My heart goes out to all the ladies that suffered through the centuries, and were pretty much blamed for every aspect of fertility and conception, while getting none of the credit for the gift of life their incredible bodies could provide.
Your videos just get better and better. I love your concise, down to earth approach to retelling history without the pomp and filler of normal documentaries, and cover topics others would shy away from. Thank you for your work❤
It is so pleasing to hear someone who calls things by their name and understands the meanings.
Props to you btw, I am a history nerd and I love your videos. a) variety of topic b) accuracy of historical facts and c) delivery of historic events, which makes it very real and alive (not like my history teacher used to do). Thank you so much and keep it up!
Comprehensive guide from a wide variety of historical and cultural sources. You do an exceptional job of putting these videos together, Ms Holiday. Thanks.
Seriously I am so damn happy to be alive in this day and age
And get cut open to deliver...
@@morganfalkdesigns Lol that only happens when necessary to save mom and baby. Most women give birth vaginally. Re-educate yourself deary.
I love how they think a womb is like an animal or something that you can attract with sweets
So, important to point out: Mary was not seen as a goddess. Mary is the mother of God but that does not make her God. People would ask her intersession for things but not praying to her as one prays to God. It's more like asking ones mom to ask their dad for a thing in place. Dad will listen to Mom pretty solidly and, at the same time and especially in this case, mom and dad have pretty unified wills. This is a very important distinction. Mary is not God. She would be the LAST person to claim that. She is, however, beloved by God and is the mediatrix of grace. Totally different thing.
There is ONLY ONE mediator between God and man, and it is not Mary.....
1 Timothy 2:5 (ESV)
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus.
Really try to explain to someone who doesn't know anything about either the difference between deities, angels, and saints.
Virginia Mary has a child. So stupid
Why not pray to God directly? Why do you need intercession? God is all-hearing all- powerful. Surely he wouldn’t need Mary to speak to him when it comes to his creations?
@@taposherabeya7857 The thing is, people did pray to God, if the prayer went unasnwered they would turn to his son, or to Mary and be like...
Hey, maybe you could throw in a a good word to the Big Guy?
1 in 3 women used to die at childbirth in the Middle Ages ( this is not the mother’s age, for those young men reading this w/little education.) . Women used to write their wills and arrange their funerals before giving birth. The miracle was that the baby and / or the mother survived. This needs to be taught in schools. A lot of men grow up with a very immature idea about women and about pregnancy.
The US now has the highest birth death of all developed countries and others undeveloped.
My parents still think that 16 year olds shouldn't know about sex. They still think I don't know anything. They tell me that I came into this world because my mom and dad prayed to God.
Little did they know that there daughter is not stupid anymore. I studied everything about reproduction in school. But they don't know that. I have been trying to act innocent for last 4 years.
Thanks for this! I love history and am starting to try for a baby soon! Love how far we’ve come and can’t believe what women had to go through ❤️
let’s be honest, nobody searched for this video
It came in my recommends
susanlopez this was on my recommend xd
so are we just gonna gloss over that fact that a grown man had to be sat down and lectured about the literal basics of human reproduction or?????
Education was different in those times.

Remain celibate and live with a female friend. No one will know. Not even historians
I’m so happy that there’s finally a research TH-cam channel that cites its sources.
This was so interesting! I have never realized how lucky we are as modern women, all the knowledge and medicines available to us.
My grandma can tell if your pregnant by looking into your eyes and shes NEVER WRONG
Kaleah Collins wow
Ha! So true lol!
Weird, but cool gift.😎👍
My mum is the very same 😀she have 9 kids and could tell when me and my 5 sisters where pregnant before we even knew.
It’s obvious if you know someone really well and see them everyday
I’m IN LOVE with this channel!!!! Absolutely love the history. And I love these episodes in particular about pregnancy. Great job, subscribed 💜💜💜💜👏🏻👍🏻
I absolutely love all your videos! They are intelligently well put, informative, well narrated and absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
Thank you for this series. It is extremely well researched and interesting. I enjoyed it a lot
I don’t know why I’m watching this but it is informing! Great job Lindsay! Can’t wait for pt 2
Imagine if you thought you had the “quickening” but it was just gas or vice versa
LOL :P
Hello Lindsey I love your channel it's so educational, I have learnt more watching your channel than at school !!
I love your video’s so much! Thank you so much for making them! ❤️
Nice I can wait for part 2 & 3 :) its interesting to see the facts about conception have a safe week too.
The arnolfini painting has been proven to show the women is not pregnant just standing like that due to the weight and volume of her gown. The pregnancy aspect has been a long standing myth.
ChalknCheese Needs me after a hearty meal 🤰😂
I was just about to comment this. Thank you ❤ In addition to this, some theories also say she wore such a heavy gown to represent her high status.
I was about to comment the same thing. It is believed that the voluminous skirt could be modelled like that to imply fertility, but she was not pregnant
There a programme in the uk that recreated the dress using fabrics and techniques of the period I think It was called a stitch in time with amber buchard
@@laurathg97 yes it represents something called summtry (sp) laws of the time,where certain parts of society could wear the good clothes and everyone else lower quality. This was in a time just after plague ravaged Europe so the surf class was now upwardly mobile and could afford better clothing and textiles. The elite didnt like this so they created laws to prevent the poor dressing well.
“It was later discovered that urine could be injected in female frogs and if the developed eggs 24 hours later, then the woman would be pregnant.”
Me: Does that mean the frogs give birth to baby humans?
It’s the hormone produced during pregnancy that causes it. That’s why also we pee on pregnancy tests. If the frogs body senses the hormones, they produce the eggs because the body thinks “oh Jesus the hormones are here”
so interesting!! can't wait for the rest of the series
Thanks for the video. I was looking forward for your videos... ❤️
There is another reason many women did not know they were pregnant or when they conceived. Menarche occurs when a woman's body is heavy enough. Food was scarce. Most women didn't start menstruating until 15 or later. Between that, pregnancy, and breast-feeding, women rarely menstruated monthly much less yearly. Not having a period did not indicate pregnancy as it often does today minus hormonal issues like PCOS where a woman does not menstruate regularly nor produce eggs.
Love your work! I so look forward to your history videos.
Its like you read my mind about the topics I want to learn about!
You make the best videos! I love falling asleep while listening to these videos 😊💤
I'm with you ....
Can I join your club?
EXCELLENT series!💕
Thank you, Lindsay, for your excellent videos. They are most informative.
I can't wait for a video that comes out in 100 years the pokes fun at what we don't know and is appalled at the medicine we didn't have access to and the treatments we applied because of it. I won't ever see that video, but it'll be super interesting.
