This video is an interview with an experienced Torghut midwife in Khar Us. The discussion began with the topic of pregnancy and expanded to cover birth-giving, related rituals, new baby and mother’s rituals and taboos, puberty rituals, and death ceremonies. According to the interview, experienced midwives in the past could discern the gender of a baby before birth and sometimes accurately predict the birth date. A female often gives birth to her first baby around 9 months and fifteen days of pregnancy. The second baby is then born a few days later than the first, eventually reaching the 10-month mark. Thus, the prevalent saying of ten months of pregnancy (Mongolian “Arvan sar Gedsendee teej”) among Mongolians has deep traditional roots. The interview also discussed the medical details of giving birth, the standard for cutting the umbilical cord, the concept of the earth mother (Gazar Eej), and how to care for the new mother. Subsequently, the video covered traditional taboos regarding birth-giving, such as how to inform visiting guests to avoid the tent during labour and what sort of work the new mother should not do after giving birth. Ideally, the new mother should rest for 60 days postpartum. Within a month, parents often shave the baby’s hair but leave the part above the ears for the maternal grandparents (Nagats) to shave when the baby reaches one year old. There is a separation ritual for twins (Mongolian “Huu Negtei Huisen Holbootoi”), often designating the second-born as the elder sibling. When the child reaches five or seven years old, the Torghuts conduct a puberty ritual by having the child ride a horse with a special saddle known as “Ermeelj.” The saying “hands reach the tie-down straps, legs reach the stirrup” symbolises that the children have grown up.
