As I understand it Queen Victoria was one of the first to use chloroform for labour, which popularised it's use. Twilight sleep used different drugs as described by MM Kirsten Blacker expat in MN for 15 more days! ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Moon To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 7:48 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] twilight delivery - or twilight baby? Queen Voctoria started it. Well, they experimented on her and it was she that advocated how wonderful it was! ----- Original Message ----- From: Rhonda To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 7:19 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] twilight delivery - or twilight baby? Hi, all of you knowledgable women,   I was talking to a friend today who said that her sister in law who was born in the 1940's claims to be a "twilight baby"?  Apparently her mother - who has passed away now and cannot explain the reason - had her first child as a natural delivery - the second was this weird delivery where she went into hospital on her due day not in labour  - got put to sleep and then woke up having delivered the baby vaginally while asleep or in twilight!  The next two were normal, natural births. Does anyone know about this practice - obviously not done now days - i presume!   She was curious about how it was done and why it may have been done.   Any ideas?   Regards Rhonda.       ____________________________________________________   IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here
