Email of the morning:
Bunting goes on to call this 'a jarring anecdote', showing as it's supposed to that pregnancy is no longer an occasion for congratulation, but rather for anxious questions. Well, you can colour me sceptical. There are practical questions, of course; but that there is not also a sharing of pleasure, or celebration, at the good news strikes me as claptrap.My wife would concur, and as a midwife she's not exactly unfamiliar with pregnant women. In fact, her day job currently involves showing people images of their unborn child for the first time, and it's safe to say that their reaction is generally quite upbeat.
