When we watch ancient TV dramas, we often see such a scene, that is, a woman in the birth of a child, usually very difficult. And TV dramas, usually in such a scene, colorful to depict, in which the most common bridge is that the stable woman in the delivery of the baby, has been shouting to burn hot water, then this hot water in the end what is the use of it?
In ancient times, there was no such good medical equipment as we have in modern times, and when a woman gave birth to a child, it was the same as having one foot in the ghost gate. If there is a good set of medical equipment, then at least can ensure the safety of the birth process, and how to ensure safety? The main point is that it can not be infected, however, at that time, there is no good disinfection equipment, the general steady woman in the delivery of the baby, are directly with the hands, in the use of scissors, there is no concept of alcohol disinfection, so the hot water plays a disinfection of the concept of the until now, this habit has been there, when we go to the restaurant, usually also take hot water to rinse the dishes and so on.
When the scissors are used, they are also scalded with hot water. In addition, when the midwife is delivering a baby, she has to wash her hands with hot water, so as to minimize the infection of the mother by the bacteria on her hands. In addition, there was no cesarean section surgery, all the mothers were delivered, then in the process, the mother is always awake, but in the process of labor, it is also very easy to have the fetus out of the situation, the hot water plays a role in dilating the mouth of the uterus, in the high temperature of the birth is easier than the low temperature.
There is also the fact that the fetus just out of the mother's stomach out, certainly can not immediately adapt to the outside temperature, and hot water is more like the temperature of the amniotic fluid. I have to say, giving birth to a child has always been a very hard thing, mothers are risking their lives to give birth to a child, even in modern times, there is no guarantee of 100% safety, it is no wonder that there will be a woman is weak, for the mother is just the saying.
