I just caught up with the last episode. Yes, it is difficult to believe that it was like this for these men in previous times. |

Has I said I sat up with her for months because of it, dad was on nights a lot of the time and when he was at home he was looking after my sister who was younger then me. My brother was away at School. Sometimes we would walk up and down our road or stand at the gate at three in the morning. |

My mum lost a baby at three months in the 60s when the doctor came I still shudder when I think about it because I was 15 at the time he flushed him down the loo, mum said he was formed and she could tell it was a little boy. I sat up with her months because de could not go to bed the doctor put her on sleeping pills AND she still on them today at 92 |

I thought it was very good as a piece of social history (maybe not light entertainment). It was good to realise how far we have come with accepting homosexuals and how by the none acceptance and criminalisation of people so inclined it made things worse. I had sort of forgotten that things have not always been as they are today. |

My older brother was stillborn before I came along when my parents were living with Dad 's Mum in a little village near Buckingham and apprently the midwife told Dad to bury his son in the garden. I don't know where Dad put him but my grandmother was very unkind and unsympathetic to my Mum so they moved back to Norwich with Mum's family. I often wonder if anyone has found his skeleton as the village has had lots of building changes. |

As a family we've been blessed not to have experienced still births or neo natal deaths. |

My great uncle Edwin went off to the second world war, leaving behind his wife, Gladys - who, after he left, realised she was expecting their baby in 7 months. |
