Love, love, love it. I’m feeling groovy!
And I recognise one groovy birth star in there.
No shortage of celebrity birthers in this montage! Thanks for dropping by.
It’s so cool to recognise women in there!
Was just looking at my 1963 copy of “Introduction to Motherhood” by Grantly Dick Read and thought he summed your montage up nicely in the prose of his day.
Quote: “Her happiness and the expression of delight is so dramatic that the birth of the child, which is the change from the second to the third stage of labour, has been termed the stage of transfiguration. It is impossible to describe adequately how women feel or look at this time. The presumption of exaggeration is almost justifiable to those who have not witnessed it.” p.25
Oh that really does say it! A friend told me once that a doctor in the hospital she was working in thought a photo of a woman in ecstasy clasping her newborn to her in the water was a mock up. When he was disabused of this he said “But women don’t look like that after they’ve given birth!” Not in your world, mate, no.
What a lovely quote, Glo. Thanks for sharing it!
love it!
