Your poor gran. Wow, thank you for sharing, she's an amazing woman. I'm sure you're so proud of her. xxxx

Thank you for sharing. I'm sure it was very hard for your Grandmother to tell her stories, people from that era don't often talk about these things. Thanks again *hugs*

Great to know things have improved since then, isn't it?

And I love how, three and a half years after this was posted, the thread's been revived for all of us who weren't around BB in 2007...

Oh my goodness! That's terrible. I thought I had a traumatic birth, and for modern times I did...but that just sounds terrible!
Would like to ask my Nanna about her births (8 of them, including 2 sets of twins, one of whom came out bum first)

Thanks Tash for bumping this old thread.
What an amazing woman.
Things certainly have changed!

Guess who's Mum is going to be hit up for her birth stories today!

I have just read your Gran's birth stories and they made me shiver, to think of the pain your poor Gran would have endured. Thank you for sharing.

I wish that I had of asked my Grandma about her births, its too late now.

Wow, what a horrible way to be treated at what is meant to be a really special time in a womens life. Heartbreaking that it happened so much.
