Parallels in today's episode - Page 2

It actually happens even today, and its causes are still unknown. In Medical terms it is called - 'postterm pregnancy'. Nowdays if such case occurs, that is if a woman's pregnancy prolongs beyond the normal period, then labour is 'induced' with the help of doctors to deliver the baby, or else the baby will die. Either hormonal medications are given or surgical techniques are used to do so.

Don't know if during Gandhari's time such treatment was possible or not. Though Ayurveda and surgery methods were well-known in ancient India.

And you know what guys the worst thing is after seeing gandhari's situation i realized that things really havent changed much from that time.Women are still in many parts of India considered to be used as machines who are meant to give birth to babies mainly sons and if she cant she is good for nothing.Things might be differnet in cities but in villages things are largely the same.Women are just good enough to give birth to children nothing else if not husband can look some where else this thing is still perevalent in many parts of India.I mean Mahabhart happend in 3000BC i think and from that till today soo many centuries have passed i cant even count but this thing for womankind still remains the same after centuries.So sad😭

It was so ruthless of Dhritarashtra to talk to his pregnant wife like that I agree... this issue is still prevalent in India, including cities! Hence it can be related to even today!

Thanks for the answer. I cant wait for today's episode. She got into labour by inducing pain and something horrible happened. 😭

In post term pregnancy baby is usually fully developed unlike gandhari's pregnancy where the baby's organs had not begin to be formed at all even after 15 months!

Induction of labour seems to be a simple procedure compared to putting pieces of that lump into hundred pots and developing it into 100 + babies! Besides they seem to have had surrogacy and sperm bank ...or did they 😕

Excellent Sabhyatha👏

but can womb hold the volume and weight of fully developed 100 babies?
nowadays doctors say that in case of triplets or quadraplets if the total weight of babies reaches 12 pounds , the body incudes labour irrespective of the growth of the babies.
in case of a 100 babies this weight would have been reached before their complete formation. hence as self preservation the growth would have become stagnant inside the womb. maybe they had to be grown in test tubes and normal delivery seems impossible!
