Doomed if anything complicated kicked off with Brother and Jon- they were home births.
Your mother was quite young then when she had you if she wasn't out of high school. Mine too. If mine had bothered to go to high school and not ran off to Wales...
I suppose it depends how much kicked off, midwives are quite hardcore. Ina Mae Gaskin; case in point. I love her, she a hippy and she's delivered like a million babies on this commune. People went to have their baby with her specially from all over the place.
She was sixteen when she got married but didn't have Sam til she was 20 (had me when she was 22) which leads me to believe that she and daddy dearest broke with Rome over the prophylactic issue. Vat scandal!
I think Padders and my good self were quite well behaved babies and just plopped out. Well, no, we caused a great amount of pain we weren't PERFECT but I don't think there was complications. I know much about Hippy Midwifes my mother's sister delivered me, apparently there was chanting.
Ahhh See, my mother was 16 when she had me and 20 when she married, 14 when she had Padface actually. Didn't have any more though and I'm willing to bet it was not because they both jumped on the good ship celibate.
I've been ridiculously lucky- I don't have a degree to my name. Or in fact any exams. I got GCSE's and that's it. I was the year that they replaced the old O level system as well so the marking was all fucked I'm not sure if the grades are correct. No A levels cause I ran away with Kat to brighton when those exams were held. Bloody fuck, DOOMED if I need to find another job, you''ll be able to order a big mac off of me and I'll have to call you madam.
I probably would have been fine at home, it was the epidural that caused the to-do. She couldn't push hard enough and I got stuck ;_; It's really just as well that I can't remember this, because I imagine it would be very traumatic. Hippy Midwives are very cool. And I may have danced naked in the rain and/or around a fire for spiritual purposes in the past. I may not, the world will never know.
Gosh, I just a baby myself when I was 14. There was a... scare. But it was fine. Jesus, my heart just fucking stopped thinking about that.
If I asked you to, I bet you'd call me madam anyway (accidentally typed bed for bet, first time. Oops!)

Education is not important in the family Y.
