Thursday, January 05, 2006Betty was all for modern obstetrics, and saw a lot of women in the 1960s traumatised by the whole ‘natural’ childbirth movement: ‘If you want an epidural, have one.’ Betty would sleep on a camp bed at the mum’s side, if this was wanted. Betty was all for husbands being there but was just as happy if they weren’t. Betty never taught couples together because, as she rightly puts it, ‘most men do not want to know about vaginal discharge’. Betty has seen a lot of changes in her time. ‘When I was pregnant, you never went out in the evening with your bulge.’ Betty never pretended having a baby is anything that it isn’t. ‘I mean, is it the most wonderful, magical, fantastic thing you have ever experienced?’ Certainly not. ‘Quite.’ posted by Sydney on 1/05/2006 10:07:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
