Guys I am writing an essay and I need to get some facts straight. Were the pregnant woman back them during the Medieval Times in Western Europe put to work. (I am specifically talking about peasant woman who were put to work on the farms, if they were pregnant do you guys know whether or not they were still obligated to work the crops?)

this is off the top of my head but I believe so.

Explanation:

Back then, women would still have to work until they were literally giving birth, I believe. You would not expect that with how women act, now, and how much they complain about being pregnant but women can work while pregnant. during medieval times, the men were often off fighting or hunting so women, even while pregnant, had to take care of children, tend to plants, sew, and all sorts of things.

I recommend doing some extra research but I believe this is right.
