These young women, squatting crosslegged in the traditional tailor position, are members of a class in "Education for Childbirth," in Brooklyn, N.Y. June 21, 1953. They are preparing for delivery under the system of "natural childbirth," which originated in Great Britain. The instructor is Mrs. Mary Steinmetz, Rn. The class is one of a series conducted by the Visiting Nurse Association of Brooklyn for women who want to have their children by the natural childbirth method. They can attend classes from their third to eight months of pregnancy, and must be approved by their physicians. The association reports a growing interest in natural childbirth, but also much misunderstanding. Association authorities explain that it is a matter of training the muscles used in childbirth, learning to relax, and understanding what to expect. Such questions as the use of anesthesia are determined by the mother's wishes. (AP Photo)
