When a women was going to have a baby..

WHY did the Doctor..or whoever was in charge of the delivery.

ALWAYS tell someone to go "boil a pot of water".

ANY GOOD ANSWERS?

Answers:
for sterilization or simply to give people something to do to get them out of the way?

Other Answers:
to sterilize any various bandages or instruments they might need to use.

For sterilization purposes, I guess. To clean off the baby after it's born, and clean up mama as well. It's really not a clean process; babies aren't born as clean as the movies make them out to be.

to keep them busy.

because there going to wash the car then take the ***** to the hospital

Boiling water is the sterilized water. The delivery should be conducted in a clean and sterilized atmosphere. So for the use boiling water is ordered.
