SUMMARY:Women in Travail : Childbirth and midwifery 1600-1950 by Janet Few
DESCRIPTION:Janet is currently serving as the President of the Family History Federation and is an experienced and qualified family\, social and community historian who lectures regularly on these subjects throughout the UK and overseas. She has spoken to us many times previously and we are always happy to welcome her back. \n\n\n\nOne thing that is certain about all our ancestors is that they were born. Childbirth practices vary through the ages. What would giving birth have been like for mothers in the past? Childbirth was not without its hazards. Until the mid-nineteenth century between five and ten percent of all mothers died giving birth. What might cause those deaths? How and when did survival rates improve? How would mothers have been cared for and by whom? Those who attended the birth\, be they family\, friends or medical professionals played a crucial part. As well as discussing historical childbirth practices and pregnancy advice in the Western world\, this presentation looks at the role of the midwife\, the history of midwifery in Britain and records that may be available for those who acted as midwives. \n\n\n\nSociety Members who have consented to receive information by e-mail will find a meeting invitation link in the latest E-News\, usually sent on the last Friday each month. If that has not been received\, it is also available in the password protected Members’ Area. \n\n\n\nThose who do not receive E-News\, or who are not Society Members\, are welcome to join this meeting and should use this link and select the Liaison option to message us with a request for an invitation link. This request should reach us at least 6 hours before the meeting is due to start\, and the link will be sent about 2 hours before the meeting starts. \n\n\n\nThere is a charge of £3.00 per person\, payable at this link.
