How did Eve manage her period in the garden of eden?

Question

must have been horrible!!!!

Answer 1

she didnt have one until she got kicked out of the garden... child birth is a woman's "punishment" for eating the apple....

but if you ask me... being pregnant and giving my child birth is THE most beautiful experience i have ever had in my life...

Answer 2

A woman's menses was a sacred event for many hundreds of years. When the women were in tune with the moon they would all have their cycles at the same time, allowing them to gather together in a women's only tent. Food was prepared in advance and the children joined the women during this time together. They sang, told stories and basically rested while their bodies released the lifeblood and again prepared to accept new life.

They often sat on a bed of straw or hay that absorbed the menses. That straw or hay was turned into the earth at the end of the cycle as a fertilizer of sorts, as the blood of a woman was sacred and believed to be the source of birth for the crops that sustained the villages.

I can't imagine sitting on a bed of straw or hay, but what's the difference between that and sitting on a long thin piece of cotton?

Answer 3

Well..first of all.. Eve wasn't in the "Garden of Eden" when God gave her this curse. If you remember your Bible, God had kicked out Adam and Eve out of the Garden due to Eve's curiosty in eating the "Forbidden Fruit". So God punished them by removing them from the Garden and gave Eve the curse to bear children with the understanding that she would "bleed" for seven days out of each month. If you imagine the time and place here and what both of them had to do to just survive, can you imagine the extreme pain that Eve went thru each month? I would imagine she used some type of leaf of a plant at first then found material later on to use for protection (if u know what I mean).It probably wasn't easy for Eve or Adam. Adam probably had to listen to her screaming when her period got real intense. Can you imagine what she went thru during this time during child birth? That would be a scarey thought. First time, not knowing what was happening, the pain, and you know the rest. Have a good day!

Answer 4

Dez_irae is probably right about her not having one.

However, childbirth was not the punishment for eating the fruit; remember, one of the first commands given to Adam and Eve was to "be fruitful and multiply" (Gen 1:28). The punishment included pain in childbirth (Gen 3:16). Apparently, until sin changed everything, giving birth would have been either painless or very nearly so.

Answer 5

Okay, now that I've had my giggle. that is soo cute. That is correct. Eve would not have experienced a "period" until after God sent her and Adam out of the Garden. She actually didn't have the name Eve until after "the fall". Adam named her Eve because she was going to be the mother of all living things (meaning us). After that any woman having her period was considered unclean and had to separate herself from the others for a period of time during and after her cycle.

Answer 6

Eve was not under the curse while she was in the Garden of Eden, so she didn't have to worry about it. The curse came as the penalty for sin.

Answer 7

No clue. Cause the bible does not give us any details. Remember before they bid in the forbidden fruit, they probably did not had to suffer such consequences.
So after she did, she had sufered pain and therefore all the trouble for us women started. Thats the only real explaination that I have for that.

Answer 8

I think the period is referred to as "the curse" because supposedly Eve got it only after the fall.

Answer 9

She went down to the river, and then one day Jesus came along and asked Adam, "where is Eve", Adam said, "Down in the River, Jesus slaped hisself on the forhead and said "I'll never get that smell out of the fish"! that's the way it was.
