  • This historic dramatized film features scenes of actual childbirth and was ruled too indecent for public viewing when made. Also includes a lengthy segment detailing the dangers of abortion. Promotes the concept of a dedicated maternity ward at a hospital, as home births were the norm at the time.
    Birth scene begins about 52:00

    My parents were born in the mid-late 1920's. My grandma was born in 1896. She lived a good life right up till she died at 103. She said she was tired and wanted to go be with grandpa and would I get her teeth for her so she could put them in. I went to the living room to get my older brother and soon he came out and told me she's gone. He said she took one last breath and let it out and she was peaceful. I miss her so much. She was my best friend. She never needed a caregiver. I helped her with things and so did my brother. Shopping and all kinds of chores. I'd say she and all of her family were very fortunate. I'm 71 and live in subsidized housing where out of 38 apts most are elderly here. Many have failing health and have caregivers that come to help them. The oldest is almost 90. I'm lucky to have a place but it faces the parking lot and north in direction. I get no sun through my windows. I suffer from depression and anxiety and have all my life though I didn't know until several years ago that there was conditions that could be treated. Imagine that, I'm longing to be out in the county instead of in town even though it's a very sma;; town. I always lived out in the county where you can see the stars because it's so dark. And I miss the calls of the owls and the ravens and even the coyotes. But this was the only thing available to me. And on the flip side I can walk to anywhere in town. The only place I drive to is the grocery store anymore. Life is pretty good. But if I could get a unit on any other side I could see Admiralty Inlet , Port Townsend Bay and 3 different islands and Mt Baker and Mt Rainier and a lot of sky. All I see is cars.

    This is classic. The Doctor actually talks to her about a maternity bra. I would pay to have one of those corsets for my back. He skipped the part of the blastocyst. My mom was born in 1938. My grandmother was 15. She was in a big ward with other women from the neighborhood. Gram said the Doctor told the women they should all be as brave as this young girl. Funny she doesn't remember having my mom. Said it was a piece of cake. My mom had me in the 60's They gave you gas then through a mask. She said she grabbed the mask, and just kept sucking it in, and wouldn't give it back. I was told a period is a curse. Childbirth is dangerous business. Ironically I had endometriosis and by the time I saw a gynecologist they removed my ovary at 17. I suffered for years, and had six operations by the time I had my daughter at age 29 after years of fertility treatments. Loved being pregnant. Giving birth was nowhere as painful as endometriosis. My daughter was blessed to have three generations of women to give her different perspectives. She's childfree by choice. However she has friends who are doula's , and one a midwife. It's amazing how just in several decades things change, but have gone full circle to when my greatgram had her children at home with the neighborhood "midwife" in attendance. All this Doctor wanted was a hospital. 😆

    I am surprised that they did not show the passing of the placenta too. Also, they sure gave her some good stuff to make her all loopy. I was just given an epidural for both of my chuldren when I went into labor.
    I was also surprised that the doctor or nurse did not papitate her stomach either to ensure full expulsion of the placenta unless they did not show that part in the film. I know that the nurses would come in and palpitate my stomach a few times even after the placenta was gone but I can't remember the reason for it.

      When he was feeling her abdomen he was using something called Leopolds Maneuvers. It is done by feeling for the back of the baby, head, bottom and limbs in relation to where they are in the abdomen. Many midwives who do home births still use this technique just much more often throughout pregnancy since they don’t usually have access to ultrasounds at every appointment.

      You are sadly mistaken if you think healthcare was better in the 30’s… especially for laboring women. Trust you’re better off in modern times. So much less was known back then which resulted in a lot more suffering for women and babies. And it’s actually to get up and move around after birth within reason. Laying on your back for days is unnatural… as well as giving birth on your back.
