Most women are interested in the procedure of birth, and certainly all men have had the experience of being born. Therefore, it seems that this thesis's topic has universal appeal. In this research, I discuss the history, development and science of obstetrics and to make in some way intelligible the age-old mysteries that surround the many phenomena which the word “obstetric” connotes. We have modern obstetrics with its exact knowledge of functional anatomy, its pain-relieving drugs, its death robbing surgical operations. However, we realize that, despite these explorations, a huge uncharted territory of obstetrical ignorance remains. It is hardly conceivable that man will ever be the complete master of all the secrets of birth. I am sure that there will always remain a residuum of the unknowable. Every person interested in maternal welfare idealizes and dreams of the time of an ideal birth, of birth free from danger, rid of pain, and deprived of inconvenience. This is the goal to which all pioneering efforts have been directed.
