Has anyone given birth in their sleep?
Has anyone given birth in their sleep? In 1912, a woman from the United States documented her experience delivering under twilight sleep. The woman, Cecil Stewart, visited Freiburg to give birth to her second child.
Why did they stop Twilight births?
Twilight sleep was associated with increased use of forceps during delivery, prolonged labor, and increased risk of infant suffocation. Because of those disadvantages, physicians stopped using morphine and scopolamine to prevent pain during childbirth.
