Debate:Is Giving Birth the Bible Way Better? (view source)
Revision as of 12:45, June 29, 2010

:Even if you consider a seated position the "Biblical" way to give birth, then you have to trace this practice back even further. There are inscriptions in Egyptian temples that show women giving birth in a seated position. Since the Egyptian practice predates the Bible by thousands of years, this means the Egyptians must be correct. Hail Ra! [[User:JohnSmith|JohnSmith]] 12:47, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

This is kind of an odd thing to talk about in this context, but from a biological standpoint, the 'Biblical' way of giving birth actually is better because it allows gravity to pull down on the baby while it is being born. Women giving birth laying on their backs actually have more difficulty for that reason, hence why many ancient civilizations (including the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, and Hebrews, some of the earliest civilizations on Earth) used seated birth methods or something similar. It's not a religious requirement, but medically, it's probably better for the mother and the baby (because of the shorter time spent in the birth canal and lower stress as a result of that).
