We were always told that "back in the old days " the unmarried women at the Teenage mum place I was at , were pretty much treated like servants to the married mothers (it was originally a maternity hospital ) up and down the stairs to the married mothers all day, whilst being tired and pregnant themselves . ]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:28:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=654428&title=who-watched#654428 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653957&title=who-watched#653957 Author: sweetpea

i didn't see all of it just bits of it. I would be interested to know if it really was that way i take it we are talking in about 1950s when to have bub out of wedlock was a real no no. The only good thing that i can say about them is and don't take this the wrong way is that the adoption rate was really high so those who were wanting a bub got one much quicker than they do now the DPB wasn't around back then.]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:51:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653957&title=who-watched#653957 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653955&title=who-watched#653955 Author: peachy

Arohanui, yes it was correct and does show how things were back then. I have had a heart to heart with my Nana and the things she went through during childbirth are horrific. She also had 2 babies taken away from her at birth and she never saw them again, all they said was "they didn't survive birth" and that was that - the end. For all she knows they could be alive to this day - we will never know.

She also said during child birth women were not to make noise, if they did they were slapped and told to shut up.

That movie last night made me bawl my eyes out. Such an awful thing to know that that actually happened here in our country ]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:49:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653955&title=who-watched#653955 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653914&title=who-watched#653914 Author: RBsMama

It was very sad. The clothesline scene had me in tears! It would be interesting to see if the book was based on fact.

Just googled it and it was written by Renee Taylor and it is fiction.

A piece of my heart

ETA: I saw in the credits it was based on a book called 'does this make sense to you?' but I didn't get the author's name.

I was in a house for teenage mums, was great very supportive etc, and I imagine very different from that era, they support whichever decision you make.

I didn't watch all of it , DH finally arrived home and it wasn't holding my attention enough to keep watching .

The one set in Ireland Babe, was that The Magdelene sisters ?
thats a good movie ]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:48:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653775&title=who-watched#653775 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653771&title=who-watched#653771 Author: arohanui

Was that actually an accurate portrayal of how things were, does anyone know? Like the labouring by themselves, dragged walking down the hall straight after birth all bloody, not allowed to see baby even when they asked, having to do physical work, that sorta thing? It's awful. I can't IMAGINE having to cope with all that at 37 weeks pregnant. It's sick. And even more sick that these were young girls, children really.

If anyone recorded on their hard drive and feels like copying it to disk then sending to me I would love them forever. LOL or I could just hire it from the library (i think you can...or was it made for TV)

I know they're nothing like the homes from the past but there are still houses for teenage mums around.

Yes I watched it, quite liked the story, how they were helping the 'hard' teenager (I assume she was a teenager haha) while dealing with their own memories, when there was no one to help them.

Sad to think they actually had places like that in the days for unwed pregnant teenagers *gulp*]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:01:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653687&title=who-watched#653687 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653610&title=who-watched#653610 Author: _SMS_

Yes i hated the bit on the clothes line. But what scared me more is that in NZ this probably happened alot.

I was only born in 87 so im not from that era but those poor older generations obviously suffered alot more than what kids do nowadays.

What really scared me was how it would feel to loose a baby i couldnt imagine it ]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:34:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653610&title=who-watched#653610 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25703&PID=653608&title=who-watched#653608 Author: emachan

Blast I missed it too. I've watched another one along the same lines but set in ireland and it was a true story. It was so sad and really unfair!!!
