Having a Baby
For most women pregnancy not on]y means happiness and satisfaction, but also emotional change and apprehension.
Ten Weeks: ' I feel sick all the time and don't feel like eating. How long will it last?'
18 Weeks: ' Shouldn't I feel the baby moving now? Should I eat special food? Is sexual intercourse dangerous for the baby? '
22 Weeks: ' Could I have the baby at home? What do you mean by psychoprophylaxis? If I stop work, will I be on full pay? '
28 Weeks: I'm worried the baby won't be normal. Should I feel so tired? Will my job be safe if I stop work? Am I too old to safely have a first baby?
40 Weeks: ' What should I do if the pains start? Could a forceps delivery damage my child? The baby's healthy ... but so small!'
Just some of the questions asked by expectant mothers. In the studio to answer your own enquiry as well as to hear of your own experience, will be Dame Josephine Barnes , Consultant Obstetrician, and Valerie Packer , a Health Visitor. In the Chair Sue MacGregor Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
