Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A group of women, resident in Canberra and whose babies were born at the Canberra Hospital, responded to a questionnaire covering selected social aspects of pregnancy. They were divided into "middle class" and "working class" categories on the basis of their husbands' occupations. Those from the "middle class" sample were more willing to breast feed their babies, more diligent in attendance at antenatal classes and were more likely to have their husbands present with them during labour. There did not appear to be a significant class difference in whether the husbands remained in the labour ward for the birth of the baby. More wives would like their husbands to remain for the birth event than in fact actually do so. |
