is your teen on birth control pills? grandkids incoming! And your daughter will be having them the old fashioned way...no epidural! Hope she doesn’t need a c section. Cemetaries from the 1800 and early 1900’s are full of mothers who died without them.

My sister will be grateful for retirement from 30 years of working in labor and delivery. My niece just graduated with her BSN. Waiting to take her boards. It will be a very different working world for her.

Nursing wasn’t for the weak spirited before antibiotics, transfusions and the like.

Pediatrics didn’t really begin as a field until the wide availability of antibiotics. There really wasn’t any point.
