A celebration of motherhood, this gift book examines how the mother's role has changed through the years and takes a look at what motherhood was really like in centuries past. It shows how even over the last 40 years, attitudes to maternity have changed vastly. The book shows some traditions associated with motherhood - both at home and abroad - and reveals some unusual customs. A chapter by Dr David Haslam offers advice for the new mother on all the emotional and psychological issues that are often faced after the birth of a child. In contrast to this, some of the more bizarre beliefs held about childbirth during past times are examined in a light-hearted manner. The book also includes some famous mothers, and is punctuated throughout with humour, information, quotes and statistics.
