Justina Siegemund and the art of midwifery.

THE ART OF MIDWIFERY THE technique or practice of helping to deliver babies and offering advice and support to pregnant women is one of the oldest of acquired skills. Childbirth was a hazardous event in the days before modern drugs and surgery, and difficult deliveries could mean death for both mother and child. The lower life expectancy of women in the ancient world in part reflects the high female mortality rate due to the risks of childbearing. A skilled midwife was indeed an important asset to a community.
