I'm doing a little nosing around on this subject.
Another discussion offlist brought up the issue of
support in the Elizabethan era during pregnancy. Is
there any evidence of what women did while pregnant
but not yet confined, for support? I'm sure the middle
class couldn't afford a lengthy confinement, if at
all. They had to do something while waiting for the
end to come. I know there is a pattern from ohh.. I
think late 18th early 19th c. out there, I'm wondering
where they got the idea from.
