Motherhood in ancient Egypt.

 

"Mothers were also close to many deities and deities responsible for protecting the mother and her child during pregnancy and childbirth,
Like the goddess Hathor, the goddess of love and motherhood, and the goddess Isis, the goddess of protection, motherhood and breastfeeding, as well as the goddess Taurat, the goddess of pregnancy and childbirth, and the god but the Lord of joy and joy, who keeps evil away from the mother and her child, and the idol Khnum, the Lord of Creation who forms the human body on the wheel of pottery and gives the same life to the next newborn, And the idol Amun, who departs from a pregnant woman, will suffer the pain if she is pronounced in his name. ”

"It was a habit of the Egyptians when the moment of labor came to place the pregnant woman in a special room for childbirth inside the home where the pregnant woman gives birth while she is squatting on special benches for delivery or giving birth while she is standing and straight in the trunk.
Surrounded by a group of midwives who perform the role of goddesses of pregnancy and childbirth, and when the birth process is successful, seven priestesses come from the goddess Hathor, who are known as the seven evidences in order to preach the mother and inform her of the good fortune and long life of the new baby.
