Abstract

The author's views on the dietetics of normal childbirth (mainly, not in clinics, but in private practice) boil down to the following. If possible, the woman in labor should have a shared bath. Recognizing that there are microorganisms on the external genital organs of each woman in labor, he considers their disinfection at the beginning of labor to be unnecessary, since it would only make sense if possible to apply an aseptic bandage to the disinfected parts, which, for obvious reasons, is not feasible; in view of this, he advises at the beginning of labor to make only a thorough washing of the external genital organs and surrounding parts with well-boiled (depleted) water and soap, repeated after each urination or excrement.
