Three years before 1945, I was in charge on night duty at the whole department. Those days it was a case of just work and this. We're very short staffed on the ward. I was sometimes the only midwife on duty at night. And I've got two full wards with patients. Some of them were gynaecological patients needed operations. They were what we call ‘dirty midwifery’ on the Gynae ward, which was where mothers that were not booked with us, that came in from outside as emergencies. They weren't dirty, of course, but what we meant by that was we have to be careful they weren't infected in any way because they didn't have the same services outside that they have nowadays you see, and some mothers have no attention at all, they didn't bother to book themselves anywhere at all. They didn't see a doctor or anything. And then when they went into labour, they just was sent into us.
And what kind of infections did you come across then, from the women?
Various infections, of course they could have had urinary infections. They could have tried to get rid of the baby at some stage and have some very unpleasant diseases.
Hmm. Did you see many cases of kind of backstreet abortion or anything?
Yes, there were plenty in those days on the Gynae wards.
What kind of state would they come in in?
Very bad, very serious. Very ill and a lot of them died.
How did women and their families react to miscarriage?
And they came into hospital and they were looked at and they went home again. There were no reacting to it. It was very usual. I mean, they either miscarried because, you know, for medical reasons or very often they brought it about themselves because they couldn't afford more children, didn't want any more children, and they weren't they, there wasn't the pill in those days. There was no way else of avoiding pregnancy. Some people would have had a baby every nine months.

Did most of the families in that area, were they large families?
Oh yes, they had large families because there was no contraception. And I remember clearly the doctor, Porchester, he was on Humberstone Road then. He gave the father such a wigging, he told him that this, she wasn't to have any more children, it was dangerous. This was before she had the 11th, and he gave him in such a wigging, but he never told him what to do. There was no such thing as contraception.

There are also two midwifery hospitals in Leicester, which were: one belonged to the municipal and the other one was a partially endowed, but virtually, in inverted commas, private maternity hospital, and then those hospitals, in fact, continued until nationalisation of the health service in 1948, and there was at the maternity hospitals, an assessment of means to see whether one could pay something towards the upkeep, and there were also many empty beds.
It cost money to go in hospital then. Might have only, I think, really it was a Guinea (£1.05) then to go into hospital and be looked after. But then you see, if you've got a whole lot of children, who's going to mind the children while you're in hospital? And they don't, they never liked the idea. They like the idea of being at home in with the family so that when the baby was born, everything was happy and everything would go straightforward. But they had a lot of faith in the midwife, of course. Looking after the children, I mean, they saved from one baby to the next. Everything was usually in a drawer and beautifully clean, although perhaps we wouldn't have anywhere to put the baby, only in a box or a drawer, when the baby was born. But everything was always beautiful and clean. And yet for the new baby, everything was saved from the one before. This is how they went on.
But these old midwives told me, now, when you go be quite sure you don't dirty the woman's night dress because probably that's the only one she's got. And try not to dirty the sheets, cause probably they're the only pair of sheets, or she's got a pair that she borrowed. We were trained also, when we got to the house, you got a chair and you took it away from the wall and you took your own newspaper with it. You put the newspaper on the chair and you took your coat off and you folded it with the outside outside and put it on the chair, and you put your hat on top of that. That was routine so that you wouldn't come in contact with any of the bugs.
I left the City General to take my midwifery at the old Bond Street Hospital and I worked from there on the district. This was part of my training as a midwife. Of course, it was mostly night work when we did our midwifery, it didn't matter whether it was night or day. If we were taking our cases, we had to be up, see, even in the night. And of course, they'd be getting the trams, the tram lines mended and everything. We had to put up with all the road works, and we walked everywhere.

I left the City General to take my midwifery at the old Bond Street Hospital and I worked from there on the district. This was part of my training as a midwife. We had a a nurse with us until we passed our exams. We weren't allowed to actually do the work, we did the clearing up and looked after the patient and the baby. But the delivery itself, we weren't allowed to do until we passed our exam. But we had to see 20 cases and deliver 20 cases, and another 12 inside before we're allowed to sit our exam. And of course, it was mostly night work when we did our midwifery. It didn't matter whether it was night or day, if we were taking our cases, we had to be up, see, even in the night. And of course, they'd be getting the trams, the tram lines mended and everything, we had to put up with all the road work and we walked everywhere, and when we went to Caroline Street, which was my first case, the friend that was helping me, she said, ‘Oh, you must keep her an eye on the husband because we shan't find it otherwise’. There were only street lamps, you see, so we followed the husband and it was an 11th baby, but the children were disturbed because the mother had been so ill before we got there, and they were all looking on in the doorway. ‘Cause Dad had had to come and fetch the midwife, and there were no telephones and he had to fetch the doctor three times, cause my patient was very, very ill. And it was a big brass bedstead and we had to put the bed on kitchen chairs because she was hemorrhaging so badly, see, and Nurse was giving her injection, which wasn't a lot in those days - what they were allowed to give until the doctor arrived.

The department in the morning would be attended by repeated tenants of people with septic hands, septic fingers and what have you. And there they would spend about half an hour with their hand in a bowl of water which had got an antiseptic in. And there were some terrible hands of fingers two and three, with, with pus being got out of them, and their patients will be attending probably for months and months to get the the soaking and the antiseptic and the poultice dressing. No antibiotics at that particular time, so a long haul...
Did they have sulphonamides in those days?
I know there was one that was, made everything red. I mean, the urine used to come out red and everything, you know, they weren't red themselves, no, it's kind of a colour thing with it.
During my duties as the casualty clerk and they're many are a young lad coming in one day and he got the end of his finger chopped off, so I asked him how he had done this and he said he caught it in the sausage machine, and I said, oh, good heavens, I said, what did you do with all the meat going through? Oh, he said, it just went on, he said, I mean, you don't stop the sausage machine because you chop the end of your finger off.

If anybody died, there was always a woman in the street that used to lay the people out and put them in the front rooms. And they used to put blackboards up at the window so that you knew somebody was dead. And when we were kids, we used to creep, and we were terrified, you know. One of the most horrible things I thought, thought it was a child, should be about 10, and a friend of mine used to play about. She went out to go to the hospital with tuberculosis, and when she was up there for quite a while, my mother used to visit, and eventually she died and they brought her home. She, well, there was only, it was at the back of this little shop that was against where we lived, and they've only got that one room, and it was her grandmother she lived with, and they fetched me in one day when she came home and I'd never forgotten it. She was there in a coffin and it was all sealed up except for a glass panel where you could see her face. And the old lady said to me, she said, ‘If you don't come and see her, you'll have her on your mind all your life’. But I did go and see her, but I've had her on my mind all my life. You know, I can still see her now. This girl, you know, in a coffin, and she got on two chairs. And this old lady was living in that room with her, her granddaughter, on there. I think that was awful, really. But I do remember.

Scarlet fever, I think that was one of the things that if you've got that used to be what they called quarantine. And you used to have this white, I'm sure it was a white cloth or a white cross on the door. Because once you saw that sign, you weren't allowed to go near.

Penicillin first appeared at the Infirmary about 1943, in the middle of the Second World War. But prior to that, we had the sulphonamides for four or five years and they were a great advance. They were not so effective, of course, as the antibiotics, which began with penicillin, but were a great advance on what we had before, because there was nothing before. And people who used to come in with sepsis or infected conditions of tissue, soft tissue or bone, sometimes were in hospital for months on end, especially for a condition of bone called osteomyelitis... which was not uncommon in young people that had bone injury, and some of those would be in 9-10 months. The bone was usually opened by a surgical operation in order to get at the pus, which was in the inside of the bone, and the bone was left open and the whole thing was laid open and just with daily dressings and irrigations until such time as it healed up.
