During child birth now a days we have somewhat sterile rooms and equipment. We have technology to let us know if a woman needs a c-section.

How did the early humans do this? What were they using a rock to cut the umbilical cord? What if the mother wasn't able to produce milk after birth? These are burning questions!!!

If things didn't work right they died, that's a huge part of why the life expectancy was so low until the 1900's. Sure people lived to be older, but the average was way lower because people regularly died young.

They did it painfully, frequently, and with a lot of infant and mother mortality.

Pretty much, as was the case until very recently in history.  People had short lives but they made up for it by producing babies early and often.

Going back just a couple generations, I found my grandfathers routinely buried 2+ wives due to childbirth and countless children due to illness. Life finds a way though.

This is something many don't understand. They look at life expectancy rates and think 25 was "old."

A Paleolithic stork would drop the baby off.

Or lots of people died. Not just in childbirth but in every day life like they did for thousands of years up until the last hundred or two. Have any sort of medical condition? Dead. Get a bad injury? Dead. Run into a large predator or the tribe from a few miles away? Dead.

Life was very harsh and often short.

It was probably very risky until the anunaki came and genetically altered the neanderthals, turning them into humans who could be taught to work and use tools. The missing link is the anunaki making us a gmo

Probably chewed through it. Then left the tag end on the baby until it dried up and fell off.

Heck, they probably made soup out of the placenta.  I know intellectually that it's all good protein but

Have you ever seen mammals give birth in the wild?

The baby comes out, the mom chews the cord, licks it clean and gives it a titty.

Some die. Some live until something eats it. Some live to sexual maturity and reproduce.

Rinse & repeat. It really is that simple.

My mother's mother was pregnant and got sick with something, probably pneumonia, we could cure with a pill today.  She died.  This was common at the time, the 1930's.  During pioneer days, it was common for men to have several marriages ended by deaths during child birth.  then the death rate for women was much higher than for men.

Darwin is always on duty.  One wonders what he will do with us where weakness is a virtue and merit is almost a crime.

That’s one of the common stupidities that people believe. Life span hasn’t changed, life expectancy has increased.

few years ago stumbled onto a talk program featuring the woman that played Mrs. Brady, mother in the "Brady Bunch"... she was in her 80's, said she grew up on a farm in Nebraska... they were talking about kids and childbirth and stuff... said her mom had 10 kids, and everytime she did she went into a bedroom by herself and came out with the baby..
