Mary Toft: The Women Who Gave Birth to Rabbits
🕑 Added 2022-03-04 18:31:00 +0000 UTCMary Toft, Mother of Rabbits! First of her name and executioner to the medical community who was obsessed with the Maternal Impression Theory. It's true that pregnancy was a mystery to modern-day medicine not so long ago. Leading to medical myths and harmful runaway media campaigns. Which is perhaps are more common in today's society than we think.

Nope. The Vagina Museum is a relatively new museum in London dedicated to gynecological anatomy and related topics. They tweeted a thread about Mary Toft sometime in the last year or so.

Did you mean to say the Virginia Museum?

This is just one of those "what the hell" history that casually pops up once in a while.

I love/dread seeing Tumblr posts about how people have not changed in character from ancient times. On one hand if they knew our tech and lingo they'd slide right in today. On the other hand, we really haven't gotten any better.

Nah, it's kinda fun spotting where the EC crew have made mistakes.

Spoiler: she did not in fact give birth to rabbits.

Don't you mean "the woman who gave birth to rabbits," not "the women who gave birth to rabbits?" Might want to fix that before it goes public.

I first heard about Mary Toft from the Vagina Museum, but it's cool to hear it covered by you all!

I'm surprised that the infection she developed didn't kill her or impact her ability to carry a child.

Hang on, how on earth can a human possiblygive birth to a bunny? It's physically impossible!
