Patents aren't disclosures of intent, they're not guarantees of a right to be able to manufacture something, and they're certainly not assurances that the described invention is even remotely feasible.
> In the case of a woman who has a fully developed muscular system and has had ample physical exertion all through the preg nancy, as is common with all more primitive peoples, nature provides all the necessary equipment and power to have a normal and quick delivery. This is not the case, however, with more civilized women who often do not have the opportunity to develop the muscles needed in confinement. that's an i…
A patent doesn't give permission to create and/or use the device, only the right to prevent others from copying your idea.
I could invent a death drug, but no number of patents is going to allow me to actually produce one unless approved by the FDA.
Everybody is joking half sarcastically here but childbirth as a process in hospitals do have serious problems and modern day labour leaves deep mental scars in most women while being one of the most important thing in their life. This is definitely a step in the wrong direction however laughable the idea is. Do you know what is the most uncomfortable position for labour is? Yeah, layin on your back. It's just the mos…

I have read in books about women doing normal day's work or chilling at home or driving and they going in to labor and then the rush to the hospital.
here the a pregnant women assumes the physical properties of glass. They are treated with super gentle care as in no work, no nothing, no exercise, 3-4 days before the "expected date" they are put in hospital beds......

Thanks for sharing this. It's so crucial to know that we have actually lost this information and we're getting worse. > Do you know what is the most uncomfortable position for labour is? Yeah, layin on your back. My wife and I were shocked when we had our first. We were recommended a "natural birth" course that taught us this, and everyone gave us crap about being "woo-woo" and "denying science". Everyone. We also ha…
By the looks of it you are denying science... Hopefully you live close enough to a hospital. Pregnancy complications can happen suddenly and require immediate medical assistance.

You’ve accepted the assertion from someone of supposed authority without question. It’s a pretty awful assertion, as it both blames and infantilizes those helpless and weak “modern women” while dismissing the medical needs of the hearty and hale savages. I suppose those modern women wouldn’t need the spin bed if they spent more time working at home. Great-grandma scrubbed those floors on her knees, and popped out 12…
My partner is pregnant, I'll see if she fancies this over a water birth. Maybe combine the two and we'll get the washing done too :)
Three in one go!

Ignoring the depressingly-predictable classist/colonialist tone Isn't it an anti-classist tone if anything? It's associating "civilization" with weakness, confinement, and a lack of opportunity, and associating primitive living with fully developed muscles and says it provides for a normal and quick delivery. How is that not an endorsement of primitive living? I don't see how you can call that paragraph colonialist u…

Doctors' discomfort is also why they are so eager to slice women open like a fish, because baby needs to come on their schedule or they'll be late for tee time.
