CHILDBIRTH WITHOUT FEAR
Sir,-On the morning of February 20 when the Christchurch Women’s Panel was again airing the subject of childbirth without fear-and therefore without pain-my smallest son, just a quarter of a year now, was having his morning tea and he told me he wanted to stand up and cheer, Any praise of Dr. Dick Read seems to affect him that way. Let there be fewer doctors and midwives with the attitude to conscious birth, "Oh, I’m not at all keen on the idea." Let there be fewer women willing: te be smothered away from the best moment in their lives. Then there will be fewer stories of the stork’s grim encounters with bad weather and of his being forced to hitch-hike for long weary miles. Would that every prospective mother bought her copy of Childbirth Without Fear as conscientiously as she buys Modern Mothercraft. '
