The only option which seems a bit dialectish in this excerpt is belonged to child-bed.

A dialect represents the speech of a particular location in one country, speech which is not usually completely grammatically correct. The other options belong in the regular English, whereas belonged to child-bed is reserved for a particular area which makes it a dialect.
