Childbirth back then was "medicalized" and now it doesn't have to be. My youngest SIL just gave birth to her first child at home with a midwife. Calm, short delivery, and no nurses to wake you and give you a sleeping pill (which they did to me with my first child). However, if you were there and involved with the raising of said children, then you did well, my friend, because that's all that really matters.
