For one thing, thinks public health nurse Donna Prentice, people have realized more and more that having a baby isn't as simple as "falling off alog". Abirth of a child as it effects the husband and family, for example, is one of the things that was complete- ly ignored in the past, and is: just one of the areas that are emphasized. "It 'used 'to the woman's role to have babies," piped up one of the husbands taking the course. "While the woman was in the tent having the baby, the father was out in the trough getting the water." And there are other diffi- culties today, aside for the wealth of information that is available today. There are hundreds of new products on the market, some of them good, some bad. The clinic tries to help the parent in choosing the right product. Another problem in the past has been society's view of childbirth. Even the word "pregnant" couldn't be said by some people in public... and even today cannot be said by some...without blush- ing. Hardly an atmosphere for enlightenment on childbirth. Today it is different, how- ever, and the subjects cover- ed by the clinic ranges from what to feed and how to feed the new arrival to sexual intercourse after childbirth. Despite the wealth of know- ledge available today, Mrs. Prentice admits that there are more than a few cases where even the simplest of principles are not known. Perhaps one of the most common, she thinks, is the woman who wants a baby but cannot see farther than the childbirth experience. "A strong case of mother instinct and little more," she' said. '"The kind of person who sees the baby as a cuddly thing, and new experience, without all the responsibil- ities....that goes with having a child. Problem for health author- ities is to reach those people who really need the instruct- ion most. Perhaps most of the ignorance tends to develop in the lower socio- economic areas of the com- munity. In short, many who attend such clinics today realize just how little they know about childbirth and taking care of a baby. Through continued operation of the cHnics, health author- ities hope to reach the parents\who need it most. "Parenthood just isn't all that easy," said Mrs. Pren- tice. "There are many things to be wary of, and many parentsdon't realize it until it is too late. Actually, being a WHY NOT RENT YOUR | FLOOR CARE NEEDS? e Floor Sanders e Wet'n Dry Vacs ® Upholstery Cleaners PORT PERRY RENT ALL ~ 159 CASIMIR STREET - 985-7357 parent is quite a challenge. There are lots of people who should never have kids...and many more who will have too many." Health authorities try to encourage participation in the clinic by other members of the family, Husbands are encouraged to take part, and more than a few do. "Childbirth is a family 'affair. It involves the entire family," she said. - At the same time, support from a husband can help his wife meet the new experience. "The mother has the actual physical experience, but the entire family takes the psychological impact of childbirth. They must be prepared. The "clinic, held once a week for seven weeks, is being held for the first time at the Port Perry Community Memorial Hospital. Corses in this area were held in Uxbridge before. The clinics are held on demand, and where there is enough demand, the clinics are held on a year-round continual basis.
