Birth Process Interview

The father was out gambling and did not return until many years after the childbirth. As for mother 2, the father was unable to be present because he was locked in prison during and after the childbirth. Because of the living condition and lack of technology, mother 1 did not take any forms of anesthesia. Mother 2 decided not to take any
