Finally, I knew something had happened and I rang the bell and said I’m having the baby The nurse rushed me to the delivery room There was this horrendous pain, then I heard a scream. But years later I said to Helen, when you have a baby, you scream.When I reached the second stage I hung on for ages and I got into a terrible state Still nobody checked me or examined me. I was brought up to be the stiff-upper-lip- type and not to make a fuss or a noise if you were in pain. As far as I was concerned, I was completely alone.I got the impression from the midwives that some women made a lot of fuss in labour and they didn’t like it I thought, I don’t want to be one of these screaming women.
I found out afterwards that they were watching me cold-bloodedly through a glass panel. I didn’t want to make a fuss.At some stage the midwife gave me an injection, which I assume was pethidine She didn’t ask whether or not I wanted it Apart from that they left me for hour upon hour No one checked me; it was up to me to ask for help. My husband could have arranged to stay, too, but they just wouldn’t allow such a thing. In my day you more or less did what you were told in most things. When we got to the hospital I asked the nurse if my mother could stay, but she said no.
In those days you were laid out on slabs to wait so you didn’t waste any of the doctor’s time, he wanted to admit me but the sister said: “What do you want me to do, put two in a bed?” They were very overworked.I went into labour that night, which was fortunate because friends had warned me that the hospital would make me eat castor oil sandwiches.In the morning my husband had to go to work and my mother and I waited for the ambulance. I took it for granted that the hospital would know about these classes and take over from there But I realised too late that there was no connection. I got no support in hospital.I went for a check-up when I was 10 days overdue; our neighbour took me in his rattly old Austin Ruby. I can even remember my sister being born at home when I was three and we lived in a tenement in Dundee, although I can’t remember a terrible noise, so I must have been taken out at some stage.When I was pregnant I went to classes in some relaxation method that was just coming in. She went back to work part time when Helen was three and has since done a variety of administrative jobs.I didn’t have any rosy illusions about childbirth because I can remember my brothers being born when I was a teenager.
And I didn’t make too much fuss.Barbara Davies, 62, gave birth to Helen, her only child, in 1957, when she was 24 and living in Bromsgrove.The experience was bad enough to put her off having any more. That was a good thing, because all the nurses were strangers to me But on the whole the nursing homes were very friendly. During the labour they were always looking in to see you were all right. He examined me and found that the head was out.The family doctor, who used to look in regularly when you were pregnant, always came to the nursing home to deliver the baby. The nurse said to the doctor: “She’s making an awful fuss, she won’t have her bath”. I had been nearly knocked out by a horse and cart earlier in the day and I went into labour very quickly.
You had to sort of grin and bear it alone.The first time I had any pain relief – gas and air – was with my fourth baby. The postman came and said: “Some poor woman’s going through it.” Bill said: “That’s my wife”.I knew the midwife, but not well. But she was such a homely person you just felt it was your mother. I remember her on the bed helping me all she could; she was marvellous, a real comfort.My husband was never allowed to be with me, even when the babies were born at home I wouldn’t have liked him to be there. I didn’t know anything about childbirth.Helen, the second, was born at home, and she was breech. The midwife said: “You’re going to have it hard, the feet’s coming first.” It was agony.

Engineering references are obvious in every aspect of the structure and these complement the tradition of rugged but picturesque design to be found in such buildings as the nearby Royal Arsenal (by Sir John Vanbrugh, 1720).The outside of the station has a lightweight canopy that runs along at first-storey height; it is a little like an aircraft wing, and lifts the building by increasing the illusion of height.
Net interest income forthe year-to-date was also negatively affected by the growth in nonperformingloans mentioned above. Salaries and benefits expenses decreased $0.2million or 1%, while occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $0.3 million or6% compared to the second quarter of 2008. The overall noninterest expenseperformance continues to reflect the effect of stringent expense controlsimplemented as part of project LIFT.Comparing the first six months of 2009 and 2008, net interest income decreasedby $4.2 million, or 8% due primarily to the downward pressure on the netinterest margin resulting from the lack of loan demand which caused the Companyto invest the funds generated by the growth in deposits into investmentsecurities which carry a lower yield as mentioned above. This increase was due in large part to an increase of $2.4 million in FDICinsurance expense resulting primarily from a one time special assessment by theFDIC which totaled $1.7 million.
Thesedecreases were somewhat offset by an increase in gains on sales of mortgageloans of $0.1 million or 20% due largely to higher mortgage refinancing volumesreflecting market conditions. Other noninterest income also increased $0.4million or 23% compared to the second quarter of 2008.Noninterest expenses were $26.9 million in the second quarter of 2009 comparedto $24.9 million in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $2.0 million or8%. In addition, insurance agency commissions decreased$0.3 million or 23% due to the overall effect of the current economy. Service charges ondeposit accounts decreased $0.4 million or 11% due primarily to lower overdraftfees.
Fees on sales of investment products decreased $0.3 million or 31%compared to the second quarter of 2008 and trust and investment management feesdeclined $0.1 million or 5%, both of which were due primarily to a decline inassets under management. These factors produced a net interestmargin decrease to 3.11% in 2009 from 3.96% in 2008.Noninterest income decreased 6% to $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2009as compared to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. Net interestincome for the quarter was also negatively affected by the growth innonperforming loans discussed above. This required the Company to invest the fundsgenerated from deposit growth in investment securities with lower comparativeyields thus exerting downward pressure on the net interest margin. The increase over the first quarterof 2009 was due primarily to $23.4 million in residential real estatedevelopment loans and $6.2 million in residential mortgage loans.Income Statement ReviewComparing the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, net interest income decreased by$2.7 million, or 10%, due primarily to the decline in loan demand caused by thecurrent state of the economy. The increase overthe prior year was due primarily to $60.5 million in real estate developmentloans, $6.2 million in residential mortgage loans and $3.2 million in commercialloans that together totaled $69.9 million.

Andrew Gibbs is among the Welsh hopefuls who go into this morning’s match against Australia B under the Ballymore floodlights. With just two minor games to come before the Second Test on 22 June, the Wallaby B team provide the final potent opposition. “Test places are still up for grabs,” the Newbridge flanker said “It is going to be like another international. We have got three matches to really get our game going.”
Gibbs, the No 8 Emyr Lewis, lock Paul Arnold and the stand-off Arwel Thomas are perhaps the ones most likely to be under the selectors’ microscope.The coach, Kevin Bowring, is demanding a tightening up of the Welsh defence around the fringes.
“The Australians are hitting close from first phase, slamming stuff, and we have to physically deal with that or we will be in trouble,” he said.With just one Welsh win from four games, however, the odds are that Australia B will carry just too much firepower.. Tim Henman continued to demonstrate why he is regarded as Britain’s brightest hope when he produced a gallant performance to upset the No 16 seed, Javier Frana, and reach the second round of the Stella Artois grass-court championships yesterday. Frana is unusual in that he is an Argentinian who favours grass over clay. A committed serve and volleyer, he proved an ideal opponent for Henman to test himself against.
There was little to choose between their games, but Frana definitely had the edge in size and strength.
In the end that advantage was cancelled out by Henman’s resilience under pressure, and his ability to lift his game when he most needed to, rather than slump into defeat when the going got tough.Henman began by taking a 3-0 lead, was broken back in the fifth game and held a set point at 6- 5, which he lost when he hit a poor return. Frana took the tie-break and swiftly built a 3-0 lead in the second.Frana though had problems with his serve, and Henman took advantage. The Argentinian twice double-faulted to set up break points, and on both occasions Henman accepted his opportunity. In the final set Henman sneaked ahead 4-3, double-faulted to lose his serve, but kept his head, broke again and served out for the match.”I was anxious to perform well, and to perform well and win is a bonus,” Henman said. “When you’re 3-0 down in the second set you’ve got your back against the wall, but the chances I was having I knew I would take them eventually.” If Henman defeats the Russian Andrei Olhovskiy today, he will face Thomas Muster, the top seed and world No 2, in the third round.The Austrian won his first tournament match on grass when he beat France’s Guillaume Raoux 6-7, 7-5, 7-6 after two and a half hours “I really enjoyed playing. I have no pressure on this surface because nobody has any expectations of me,” Muster said.”It’s the low bounce that gives me a problem Nothing comes by instinct.

The European Football Union yesterday clarified the position regarding the transfer system and nationality rules following the Jean-Marc Bosman judgement. “The commercial and environmental benefits are obvious,” he says.”Why not put President Chirac into a cellar with fungus and dynamite and let him make his own mushroom cloud?” asks David Urquhart.Nicholas E Gough sent us, in a brandy bottle, 50ml of reconstituted cloud – very useful if you are thirsty, he claims N Edwards sugg- ests drying clouds for convenient storage. We hope you have a merry one and return refreshed for our next encounter, with mad cows. Meanwhile, for when we return in the new year, we are looking for things to do with 1996. “Then, whenever there’s a drought, you can just add water and make rain.”William Salaman says there are four main types of cloud: Sheadtratus, Nimbheadus, Cheadumulus and Cheadirrus, but we think his head may be in the clouds.Prizes to Bill Fowler, A Marshall and Gilbert Wood Next week is Christmas.
More ideas:Store on car roof and drop between low sun and windscreen when necessary (Jeanette Solomons); potty-train them and sell results to Yorkshire Water, or blast into space to create White Holes, or cut up to make wigs for bald sheep (A Marshall).Gilbert Wood advises capturing clouds from aircraft and using their contents to make tea or coffee for the passengers, thus reducing the amount of water needed on board, and thereby saving fuel. Richard Branson returns in an idea from Mike Farriss, who suggests stuffing cumulus clouds into the Virgin king’s balloon to keep it airborne. “The Government,” Duncan Bull says, “should confiscate every cloud and extract the silver lining. The resultant worthless clouds would be stockpiled and sold to needy water companies during droughts. (Several other readers suggested transferring silver linings from clouds to suits or duvets to increase their value or tog value.)”If bottled,” says Janet Walker, “they could be used by psychiatrists who run out of ink for Rorschach tests.” Stuart Cooper gives instructions for constructing a personal shower from a cloud and a very long piece of string. Pull down the soft woolly ones, advises Bill Fowler, and use for packing delicate items or as ear-muffs for elephants Or use to plug the holes in the ozone layer. Clouds are for cuckoos to land on, says Betty Roe.
Roll up and use as earplugs for giants, suggests Jan Moor.
Clouds, says Michael Rubinstein, may feed the visual poetic imagination almost beyond endurance. Bringing them down to earth, however, he suggests they may be used “to wallow in a fog of pseudo-romantic euphoria”. Mollie Caird says they are useful for wandering lonely as, while Nicholas James takes a more social approach, suggesting clouds should be introduced to each other more often, so that they won’t have to wander lonely. Clouds, says Len Clarke, are very useful for naughty politicians to be under. Clouds, says Rosie Trevelyan, were invented by Richard Branson to bring visual relief to passengers staring out of the windows on long- haul flights.
He could start by trying to raise morale among dejected teachers. The best start would be a period of stability in schools as we come closer to the election, instead of questionable organisational change that an alternative government would quickly unstitch.. Instead of flogging a policy that does not want to run, the Prime Minister should listen to Mrs Shephard and instead concentrate on developing schools in their present framework. Mr Major is a politician in a hurry, worried that Labour will take power and kill the self-government ideal.He is behaving like many of his predecessors, Labour and Tory, who were too desperate to leave their own institutional mark on the education system. Like them, Mr Major suffers from the illusion that you cannot improve schools unless you reorganise them.He is mistaken: there are many other ways to raise standards. But she has been unable to convince her boss to swallow his pride and drop his controversial proposals.So why is Mr Major persisting with an unpopular policy shift that could have bishops denouncing him from their pulpits? Because he now realises that school self-government is unlikely to take root in the school system before the general election. In the past school year, 15 out of the 4,000 voluntary-aided or church schools conducted ballots of parents, and of those only six voted to opt out.Mrs Shephard for her part has spotted the storm ahead and is against changing the balloting rules.
So far, only one in 24 schools has opted out and only a trickle are in the pipeline. But if it is not genuinely optional for parents, then it loses its Tory raison d’etre.And Mr Major’s plan is politically inept. The churches do not like it: their schools already enjoy considerable autonomy and most do not want any more distance from their local council. Opting out can, indeed, offer schools a chance to free themselves from what can be the dead hand of council bureaucracy. He desperately wants to increase the number of self-governing schools. And he seems incapable of accepting reality: that most parents do not, in fact, want their schools to break away from the local council.
This fixation is becoming serious.
