"That's Not How We Do It Now!"
The Shocking History of Pregnancy and Childbirth: True Stories From the 1940s to the 1990s
By United People
Buckle up — childbirth wasn't always epidurals, birth plans, and partner support!
In That's Not How We Do It Now!, discover the jaw-dropping, true stories of pregnancy and birth from an era when expectant mothers were given diet pills, fathers were banned from delivery rooms, and newborns were introduced after the mother woke up from sedation.
This riveting collection takes you decade-by-decade through the astonishing realities women faced between the 1940s and 1990s — with practices so shocking you'll text your mom, gasp out loud, and whisper, "Thank goodness for modern medicine."
Through vivid storytelling, real firsthand accounts, and unforgettable historical moments, you'll explore:
This is the untold history of our grandmothers and mothers — the silent warriors who survived childbirth against impossible odds.
Whether you're a mom, daughter, healthcare professional, history lover, or simply curious, this powerful, funny, and eye-opening book will make you rethink everything you know about birth.
If you think pregnancy is tough today... wait until you find out what "normal" used to be.
