Hoobley,
OMG that to me is abuse in the true sense of the word. Your poor wonderful gran. I have no idea how on earth she went through that. There are so many horrid stories from days gone by. And i don't know if i see less of it now because i am looking in different places or because it happens less. I really hope that when i fall pregnant, we are able to have a home birth. I thought it was a classic at the end that the only friend with a peaceful experience was one that was over looked by a vet. A person used to dealing with animals going through a natural process. Allowing themother to follow her instincts. Thank you so much for sharing that. A very strong woman, but so unfair for her to have to experience that and to miss the bliss so many other women feel.
Hippy MUm
