This week’s column is about childbirth. That’s 50 per cent of my readers lost then.
But bear with me if you can excuse the unfortunate turn of phrase. Before you switch off or turn the page, before you men say ‘oh this week is not for me’, then the news story which left me sweating and screaming is so much more than that. Childbirth is a pain. Anyone who has gone through it can tell you that.
So in case they haven’t done the maths I decided to investigate on behalf of women across the border who, when push comes to shove, probably haven’t the time to do it for themselves.
