Detailed explanation-1: -Most medieval women went through labour in a domestic, non-medicalised environment. And, if they were aristocratic and merchant-class, that often meant retiring to a birthing chamber (a darkened room provided with soft furnishings) a month before they expected to give birth.
Detailed explanation-2: -1325 and the outbreak of the first plague epidemic, testators had on average 2.8 live children. Between 1350 and 1375, the average dropped to 1.9 and continued to decrease, reaching a low of 1.4 children per testator between 1400 and 1424.
