Excerpt from Before the Baby Comes: A Practical, Non-Technical Manual for Prospective Mothers
Few young women about to assume the responsibilities of motherhood have more than a vague idea, if any, of the organs of generation. These organs do not come to their full development until the period of pregnancy. It would probably be of little help to the prospective mother to go into a detailed and technical description of them, but it will help her to have a little def inite knowledge of the position of the reproductive organs and their relation to each other.
