Whenever a native female is pregnant,in wedlock or otherwise,they take care that they do no act that would injure the offspring.During pregnancy they are generally healthy,and they experience little or no sickness or painful days,and when the time of their delivery is near,(which they calculate closely),and they fear a severe accouchement [delivery],or if it be their first time,then they prepare a drink made of a decoction of roots that grow in the woods,which are known by them,and they depart alone to a secluded place near a brook,or stream of water,where they can be protected from the winds,and prepare a shelter for themselves with mats and coverings,where,provided with provisions necessary for them,they await their delivery without the company or aid of any person.And after they have remained several days in their secluded places,again return to their homes and friends(Amsterdam, 1656) - -Kit: Douce Fraicheur by Aurlie and MaChabine/Background:by MYUNG MARIO JUNG PUEBLO INDIAN VILLAGE
