A "comfy" read 3 April 2011
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book, it's like putting on your dressing gown and having a cup of Horlicks - a very easy, comfortable and warming read. It's never going to win awards or change the world, but it does what it says on the tin. It gives you a glimpse of life as a trainee midwife, its chaos, triumphs and very anti-social hours. It also contains a great variety of characters, vivid descriptions of where and how babies are born and the joy and discipline involved. I read it because I loved Jennifer Worth's Midwife Triology. This is not as good, not as well written and not as engaging, but it is a charming read and I was sad when it finished.

Bought this for my mum who was a midwife in the 1940's and 50's - she thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgic trip back into her days of nursing. I decided to read it and really enjoyed picturing her at that time.

Nostalgia 3 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
I met Dot whilst waiting to disembark our ferry and she told me about her book - glad I bothered to get a copy - good nostalgic read, reminds me of the tough yet simple times we used to live in back then.

A good read
This book is a delight. There is currently a spate of nursing memoirs, and midwifery in particular, and this is the best of them. Read more

TWELVE BABIES IN A PRAM
THIS BOOK IS VERY GOOD I GOT IT ON KINDLE IT IS INTERESTING AND FUNNY IN PARTS NICE TO READ IF RELAXING IT HAS HUMER AND SADNESS IN IT

Wonderful as good as call the midwife.
Really really enjoyable, probably hidden behind the glory of call the midwife, but just as good. Wow as a trained nurse, i had no idea that this is how things began.

Very far-fetched
I was a midwife myself, in the East End in the 1960s and I find this book completely unbelievable in many places. Read more

Fantastic
I really disagree with people who say this is an easy comfortable read. It is an amazing book but it is incredible in terms of how much responsibility a pupil midwife had to take... Read more
