91热爆

How have the first hours and days after childbirth changed in the NHS?
Before the NHS, a 1932 publication describing mothers resting after labour, referred to lying-in as ranging from two weeks to two months, but attitudes have altered.
In 1950 a book National Baby, was published by Sarah Campion. Emily Baughan has been reading that and looks at the differences between childbirth then, memories of her mother and her own experiences.

Dr Emily Baughan is a New Generation Thinker on the scheme run by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the 91热爆 to put academic research on radio.
She is a Senior Lecture in 19th and 20th century British History at the University of Sheffield, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and is working on a book Love鈥檚 Labour which is a history of childcare.
