Begriff "Sechswöchnerin"

Hallo Liste,

ich bin in alter Literatur auf den Begriff "Sechswöchnerin" gestoßen.
Was bedeutet dieser? Handelt es sich hierbei um eine Frau, welche in der 6. Woche schwanger ist?

Vielen Dank und viele Grüße,

Jens

Hallo Jens,

ich bin in alter Literatur auf den Begriff "Sechswöchnerin" gestoßen.
Was bedeutet dieser? Handelt es sich hierbei um eine Frau, welche in
der 6. Woche schwanger ist?

das bedeutet:
Gemeint sind die sechs Wochen, während derer die junge Mutter Bett und
Zimmer zu hüten pflegte. Im 16. Jh. hieß die Wöchnerin daher auch
"Sechswöchnerin". Gebiet Öst.- und Preussisch Schlesien.
Die Sterblichkeitsrate war in diesem Zeitraum besonders hoch.

Ich w�rde eher auf eine Frau im Wochenbett tippen, das fr�her traditionell bis 6 Wochen nach der Geburt dauerte.
Viele Gr��e
