Quick, Boil Some Water -
The Story of Childbirth in our Grandmothers' Day

By Yvonne Barlow

Today, we hear stories of over-worked midwives and short-staffed hospitals,
but the truth is that childbirth has never been easier. Our grandmothers gave
birth when there were no washing machines, few hot water boilers and heating
came from coal carried in from the back yard.
"I never thought
I would find
someone else's
childbirth
experiences so
engaging"
