Event Description
How did you know you were pregnant before the invention of pregnancy tests? How could you avoid getting pregnant? Who did you call when it was time to give birth? Why were Caesareans so deadly?
Social historian Dr Robyn Atcheson has pondered the ways in which pregnancy and childbirth have changed over the centuries and has picked up a few real medical instruments along the way.
Join her for a fascinating deep dive into the history of pregnancy & childbirth & a chance to see some of the (often terrifying) authentic tools of the trade.
