.This cultural phenomenon was borne of a medical necessl ; somewherealong the way, childbirth became perilous business.Sure, childbirth has always been risky business.Women and chil-dren have died during labor for as long as women have been givingbirth.However, the vast majority of the human race, until very recently,came into this world without Pitocin, forceps or C-section.How did wepossibly get by without those modern wonders? It would seemthat, once upon a time, we didn't need them.147 EVEN MORE HEALTH BENEFITS OF VITAMIN K,,During his travels, Price was impressed with the "ease of reproduc-tion" of the various traditional tribes he met.He gives the followingexample of an Inuit mother: "One Eskimo woman who had marriedtwice.reported.that she had given birth to twenty-six children,that several of them had been boru
