A new life being born should be a blessing. But why do people treat that blessing like it was a curse... it's not about this manga but in RL. Sorry for bringing RL problems here.

 

[Justking14]

Pretty sure Myne just saved that kids life

yeah you guys don’t know about germs, don’t wash your hands when touching a baby and use a dirty birthing stool that you never wash. No wonder only 2 of Your kids have survived so far.

good thing that Kamil is a boy's name too lul

 

[chiagioi1234]

wow~ back then sure is harsh ,4 baby dead already?

 

[JumboWheat01]

Alas, the harsh realities of the peasant poor.

 

[Mitsu13]

At first I thought something will happen that Myne won’t be able to see her brother at all. Glad that’s not the case

 

[damadicius]

By the power of god and anime modern medical knowledge!

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

 

[Med1um]

Alas, the harsh realities of the peasant poor.

It's not even about being poor, but ignorant. They could keep things clean, they just didn't see the need to expend additional time and resources for that. Would they know how much dirty things impacts health and survival rate - they would think twice before disregarding proper cleaning.

At the very least, even if not keeping yourself clean indefinitely, cleaning things that used for the birth aren't going to affect finances too much.

I mean, it’s only considered a curse if the woman who is pregnant doesn’t specifically want to give birth, because even today it’s still a risky time for the mother

Hope no one will tease him about his name and hope that he will able to contol his temper when he grow up. There already has been a war that start by one tease another about his name and got punch back.

This is the same struggle i have even today... people from all over come to the house of the new born to see him... dirty from outside even sick with flu. Like go fuck yourself, literally. The lamest excuse i have gotten so far from grandmas was "people used to do that in the country side" yeah bitch how many of those kids didn't make it to 1 month old 50 years ago.
At least wait till the milk antibodies stick. jeez.

The first echography was first developped in 1962 (by Joseph Holmes, William Wright, and Ralph Meyerdirk). Before that, nobody knew what was going on inside the uterus. Surprise, you have triplets!

Modern humans have the ability to abort unsafe or nonviable pregnancies, greatly reducing the risks for both mothers and the children.

Not just the kid.
Given how Effa ends up later, barely recovering from the birth, she may very well not have survived it if Myne had not interfered by having everyone follow basic hygiene. (late part 2 spoiler)

After eleven years since its inception as WN is syosetsy, next week. The official English light novel translation is going to be done.

 

[Drakan]

Yep, that's what it looked like before we figured out sterilization, which wasn't even on the table until germ theory became accepted in the late 1800s

 

[kaminomikan]

7... and 2 were miscarriages? Nothing short of a plot miracle that she is still alive...

 

[BestBoy]

Myne is incredibly relatable this chapter. GERMS BEGONE!

Around 1860 Ignaz Semmelweis figured out that you need to wash your hands to prevent disease even before germs were discovered. Unfortunately, doctors at the time didn't pay too much attention to him cause he seemed to be too confrontational about the findings, he was basically blaming them for the deaths of their patients, but instead of the doctors to try to up their game, they just decided to fire the guy.
