Demographic Politics And Population Growth - 2

[G.Subramaniam]

At what point is too many kids harmful to the woman ?
------

The medical limit is 15 kids
Mumtaz Mahal who is buried in Taj Mahal died in her 15th pregnancy

More practically, by the 7th pregancy, the uterus starts getting week

So 6 kids is a safe number
and 5 kids is super-safe


next we look into the issue of labor pains

The first delivery is the most painful
During the first delivery, the pelvic bones are bent to a large extent to allow
the head of the baby to pass

The second delivery is much easier since the pelvic bone has already expanded

The 3rd, 4th and 5th deliverys get progressively easier

The 5th delivery is not much more painful than a hard bowel movement with severe constipation
