Question: Why in movies when someone's about to give birth you need to boil hot water!?
is this also the case in life or not!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Basically when you see it in movies its mostly because they aren't at a hospital, the boiling water is to sterilise things, like the scissors to cut the cord with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think if the baby looks like it is coming out too slowly, or is stuck, you are supposed to boil its head!. Then it struggles and comes out!.

I am not sure about this though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its actually to keep the Father busy and out of the way cos you never see them do anything with the water except make Coffee!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It gives the 'hangers on' something to do and then they can make cups of tea with it!! (that's in England, of course!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

To get rid of germs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
