Have I to read much about pregnancy ?
Reading
to much about all the complications of pregnancy could make you
unnecessarily anxious about the most minor of complaints, which
can be tackled easily.
20.
why am I being monitored so much to day when my
grandmother probably had 12 babies without medical intervention
thought the pregnancy?
Because
we know more today. Also, keep in mind that in the past, of
the women who conceived, about 15 per cent lost their
babies. Today, anything over one per cent is unacceptable. So, we
try to diagnose problems through various techniques to rule
out complications leading to maternal and fetal mortality.
Besides, your grandmother may have been. lucky to have her 12
babies whereas there would have been so many others of her
time who lost so many babies.
