@Reply7676238460 @AzPetrich It still happens to this day. The numbers get blurry if you factor in the myriad ‘reproductive health’ ‘treatments’

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich And if you look up any genealogy data from that time period you’ll also see a majority of people lost a least 1+ child prematurely.

"Why did they portray anti-vaxxers and freebirthers so badly on The Pitt?" BECAUSE NOT VACCINATING OR NOT GETTING PRENATAL CARE IS BAD AND AND THEY DON'T NEED MORE CODDLING.

@KellyHT268 @AzPetrich Many still do.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Yes and many mothers and infants died in childbirth. Why go back to that???

@catskipants @AzPetrich It’s happened for most of human history.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Not really, midwives have existed for a really long time. Free birthing it no help from anyone with any knowledge of birth

@uranoutofluck @AzPetrich But we made it.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Which is why the most common cause of death of women was childbirth

@CacoKidOH @AzPetrich They are not. Been happening for all of huma existence.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Free births are actually a fairly new thing

@CherryKnightley @AzPetrich And to this day millions of women give birth, largely unassisted, in their homes

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Normal people look at recent advancements in healthcare, especially in the health outcomes of pregnant women and newborn babies, as a modern miracle. Then you have a bunch of people who breathe with their mouth acting like prenatal vitamins are a scam to give your baby communism

@Lauwke3 @AzPetrich Midwives existed forever? Who were the midwives when Jesus was born? I promise you, many times through history women were completely alone during childbirth. It still happens. In fact women post it online.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Lol no, women always had assistence during birth from other women. We call them "midwives" and in my country it's still popular to do homebirth with a midwife to help you.

@__C_a_l_e_b__ @AzPetrich The life expectancy numbers are incorrect due to infant mortality. People weren’t universally living to their mid thirties for millennia, for that to change in the last 100 years. However, if you look into the number of women getting pregnant then vs now you’re still wrong

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich It's always hilarious when people bring up this argument about 100 years or 200 years ago we did this and it was normal and we were all fine. Except we weren't, life expectancy was life, infant mortality was high. We changed things for a fucking reason, man.

@tiredmommy1010 @AzPetrich A lot of people free birth to this day. Hospitals weren’t ubiquitous in 1906.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Nobody free birthed a couple of generations ago, are you insane? Even my grandmother who was born in 1906 was born in a hospital

@Davey5311 @somegoodsomehow @AzPetrich Most American MDs receive 20-25 hours of nutritional training over 4 years.

@somegoodsomehow @ccfrendo @AzPetrich If only Dr's knew something about nutrition, and had control of it, the cases of diabetes, heart attacks, & strokes might look like this, compared to a graph that goes the opposite.

@cjStone00 @AzPetrich People die everyday.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich And you want to know what's happened? PEOPLE DIED!!!

@carranzuca @AzPetrich And here we are.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Y con una tasa de mortalidad altísima.

@nannakat246 @AzPetrich 70% is a pretty solid success rate. Are you saying hospitals are the sole reason for the presence of competent people at birth?

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich And infant mortality was about 30%. Not to mention the loss of mothers. If you can’t see, you wear glasses and if you can’t walk you use a wheelchair. Having at least some competent person present at a birth is no different.

@beigepilled @nannakat246 @AzPetrich I don’t think modern tap water in places like Flint, Michigan is helping the kids thrive. Dis nigga ackin like we the first or the best at inventing indoor plumbing.

@nannakat246 @ccfrendo @AzPetrich They didn’t have tap water you fucking nigga

@chasecharb @AzPetrich Lower birth weights do make the birthing process easier.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich I was only a couple generations ago that everybody smoked cigarettes while pregnant. Guess we should go back to that

@allyobrien @AzPetrich And here we are.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich And 30% mortality

@Proper_Pirate @AzPetrich You totally got me there.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich Try 4 to 5 generations. Before that a lot of people still had doctors come to their house. Also, they didn’t use Twitter.

What’s in the water in Seattle? Lotta low IQ people coming out of the one @SeattleHobbyist

@SeattleHobbyist @AzPetrich What’s a hospital dumb ass? Are all people alive today are here because your granddaddy was born in a hospital in 1890? Was your grand daddy grand daddy born in a hospital?

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich My grandfather was born in 1890. In a hospital dumb ass

@vampyrb1tch @AzPetrich And here we are.

@ccfrendo @AzPetrich yeah and the mortality rate was significantly higher… for both mother and baby…
