A series of six documentaries exploring different aspects of birth and childcare during the first 50 years of this century. Making Babies. Stories of home births from the slum to the country house and the rigours of the strict Truby King method of infant care are illustrated by vivid first-person accounts of labour, including
91-year-old Ivy Summers , who had 12 babies. She says: "You didn't make a row because the kids was in the next room. I just used to grin and bear it."
