It's a pretty good bet that the mortality rate (for mothers and neonates) was a lot higher before the advent of modern medical knowledge.

What ever would have given you that idea?

there was a woman in some third/second world country who gave birth in a tree during a flood

Luck I guess. It would be funnier to imagine what the first pregnant woman thought was happening to herself.

i wonder how humanity even survived maaaan

death in the mother and child were common i guess
miscarriages, and women who were not strong enough to deliver their babies naturally.

lol kids are so uneducated these days

well usually in the old days, death of the mother after childbirth was quite common.

Were women able to give birth in prehistoric time? Youre here arent you?
There isnt too much medical knowledge that is needed when nature takes the reins on that process, of course it wasnt uncommon for females to die during child birth since they do loose a lot of fluids which werent replaced.

How? When there's pain in the lower abdomen the body's automatic response is to push.

>> water breaks
>> get on the ground
>> push til you hear a *pop*
>> childbirth
