After the journalist Tina Cassidy had an emergency caesarean, she overheard her husband ask the doctor what would have happened before c-sections. She was horrified by the doctor’s reply - that the baby would have died in the birth canal and they would have had to remove the foetus piece by piece.
She became determined to find out if it were true and her research became her book “Birth, a History.” She discusses her findings with Jenni and the Medical historian Dr Ornella Moscucci.
Birth, A History by Tina Cassidy is published by Chatto and Windus ISBN: 978 0 701 18119 2 | |
