Question

the mid 1800s to late 1800s?

Answer 1

child birh and alot of mums would go with very little food just so their kids and working husband could have that little bit more

Answer 2

Thank goodness for Joseph Lister. Before he demonstrated antispectic techniques, sepsis claimed about half the patients in hospitals with wounds. I saw once on a documentary, but am too lazy to confirm, that not one woman who delivered a baby in Paris lived to tell about it for nearly a century.

Seeing as childbirth is probably the most regularly-occuring phenonmenon that resulted in a large wound that required hospitalization, I believe that the period before Pasteur and Lister was especially lethal for women.

Answer 3

Death during childbirth due to
1. Complications
2. Poor sanitation
3. Disease

" For example, for every 100 women who were twenty in 1865, more than 5 would die of tuberculosis by age 30, more than 8 by age 50. Disease was real, and devastating."
