I really like this article. I just feel so sorry for those poor women who drank animal poo cos they thought it would take away the pain! Oh well, I guess at least it was so foul it distracted them from the pain!
A history of childbirth
We’re constantly deluged with stories about overstretched maternity services, but the reality is that childbirth is safer than ever before.
Long gone are the days when women were whipped to induce labour and a swig of sow's dung mixed with water was about the most you could hope for when it came to pain relief.
We take a look at giving birth in days of yore; read on, and you might just see your local maternity ward in a far more positive light.

What a fantastic article, it was really interesting. all I can say is thank god for gas and air, pethidene and epidurals- or whatever your chosen pain relief is!! You could always try sows poo and snake skin if you'd like!!!!!
