 Scottish Midwives: Twentieth-century voices January 23, 2004
This book is really good for anyone interested in Midwifery and history. I haven't come across many books concentrating on the history of the Scottish Midwife, and so this was an extremely pleasant surprise. It will make you reflect on what has been, and what is now. Not only when it comes to the labour itself, but the smaller things too.
Interesting to anyone, or knows someone, who's had a baby! December 14, 2000

Book is basically a series of interviews, mostly with midwives, about childbirth and baby care in the last century. Conditions in many areas was very primitive - I am so glad my babies were born in the last quarter of the century. Some of the contributors are now in their eighties so memories cover a long period. Highlighted are the changes associated with childbirth as medical knowledge increased and male doctors began to become involved and also our expectations nowadays that our babies will be born healthy and live and that mothers too will survive the ordeals of bearing children.
