I had DS at home in 1970. My midwife made me squat down and wash the kitchen floor. If I needed a wee she made me squat over a plastic bucket, standing behind me to support my back.
Didnโt half hurry things up! ๐
Sometimes one has a splurge of energy just before the birth. I remember cleaning windows, going for a hospital appointment to be told I had to go home, pack a bag and go straight back in (two weeks early) as the birth was imminent, then saying "But I'd planned to go shopping on the way home!".
Twerking wasn't invented then.
