In hospital in 1966, I too got a slap around the face, as did the young mum opposite me. We had both asked for a cup of tea, we were told the nurses were too busy and, when we complained, we both got slapped.
As previously pointed out, in those days, you didn’t dare make a fuss.

I should add I wasn’t screaming I was moaning loudly as you bloody well should be able to I should add she was a ‘miss’ so probably had no idea

Goodness, Bluebelle, that was assault.

I do remember going to my first relaxtion class and the midwife taking the class told us that giving birth would be 'rather uncomfortable'.

Elaine C. Smith told the tale of the wee Glasgow woman who attended the classes and asked, “ See this discomfort you’re talking about, is it the same as the pain you get in the Southern General?”.

When my son was born, ( in 1974) in the middle of the night, hubby was the chief tea and toast maker for the ward staff, as well as us. Can't see that being allowed these days !

With Middle child I got smacked across the face for making too much noise forgot I should have cutch my pearls and kept quiet

Who did that? 😲

With last child I got left on my own because the young girl in the next room was making so much hullabaloo no-one could heard me shouting for help.
I'd left my pearls at home too.

It was the midwife who smacked me on the face Allira and told me to be quiet
We are going back to 1969 what you can do to a ‘patient’ was very different then
It was a different world where doctors would tell you to have a cigarette to calm your nerves and often have a packet of cigars on their desk
( mind you my little son helped me out and wee’d all over her when she picked him up after he was born and she was ‘showing’ me how to bathe him !!! He was my second so I did know how to bathe a baby

I see the ‘Royal’ programme this weekend is all about how William will make changes when he is King.

I hope Charles isn’t watching. Talk about feeling you’re being written off before you’ve hardly got started!

Going back to the ward after giving birth with no pain relief I was asked what I would like for breakfast.
I just yelled, 'some bloody pain killers!!!'

Well, at least they asked!
I begged for a cup of tea and was told, very brusquely "No, not allowed in case you're sick!". So I lay there for the rest of the night, wide awake, wondering where the baby was and wanting tea.

Oh that's cruel- what we put up with- the Queen had no idea!

It was not the best experience; I bet the Queen got a cup of tea on request!

I was always told the cup of tea after giving birth was the best and most welcome you will ever have.
My D was born just before midnight and I think the tea had been made at teatime and was in the urn from then.
It was stewed, lukewarm and disgusting.
I was so disappointed.

At least you got one!
I suspect I wasn't allowed a cup of tea because it was 2 o'clock in the morning and no-one wanted to make one, nothing to do with the possibility of me being sick.

I don’t know what you mean by ‘a client of Epstein’. Many people were in his orbit, which doesn’t mean they were necessarily up to no good. I think it’s pretty certain that he didn’t pimp out the late Queen, and highly unlikely that she visited him for the same reasons as her errant son.

I think that, after the clickbait headline, these articles will point out that it simply means a name was mentioned in any context in an email by Epstein, like saying Queen Elizabeth attended some function or other, or maybe saying what a great footballer David Beckham was ( he was apparently mentioned also).

The late Queen didn’t go to hospital for the births of her 4 children

No, so she was able to be photographed sitting up in her bed at the Palace, wearing a pretty bed jacket and pearls.

Subsequently, Anne, Diana, Sarah, Catherine all had their babies in hospital and the first public pictures were of them leaving hospital.

For some reason Channel 5 seems obsessed with the Royal Family

Well, I for one am quite pleased with their obsession, as after Strictly there never seems much I want to watch on a Saturday night.

Agreed, some of the Royal stories are shameless re-churning of past events, but I find them reasonably entertaining.

Ps I'm sure I saw the photo of HM Queen Elizabeth with baby Edward years ago. It was a private photograph and in fact stolen by someone involved in the development and sold to the press.

Some of these programmes are full of rubbish. For some reason Channel 5 seems obsessed with the Royal Family.
