Disruption of blood vessels during childbirth

Ships with damaged walls break easily. It is very dangerous during childbirth. The internal bleeding that occurs is not always obvious. In ancient times, this was the most common cause of high mortality in postpartum women. To prevent varicose veins, doctors decide how to give birth to varicose veins.
