This is an insane and sad story but at the end it had a suprising link to the abortion issue 40 years ago!

“Lemay was charged with criminal negligence causing death after a fetus died during delivery in 1985. She was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court, but later acquitted on appeal after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled she couldn't be convicted because a fetus isn't a legal person.”

#WordWeavers 7/28 Any MC's that are pregnant or nursing on page?

Excellent question!

Branwen falls pregnant (weird term) with Gwern, Matholwch's heir. Gwern ends up playing a very critical role later, but is really only a footnote in the original text. I might be tempted to add some nursing scenes with Branwen in later drafts.

My wife is a CPM (certified practicing midwife) so we are very breastfeeding positive in my house.

I shared this a few days earlier, but here it is again!
#Midwifery

Branwen smiled, but even as she rested her face in the hollow of Matholwch’s neck, a strange sensation quivered in her stomach. She rose from their bed and staggered to the chamber window, only gaining her husband’s attention as she vomited into the early morning air. That afternoon, royal physicians were brought in, all to examine the state of the queen, to measure her humours, and to apply leeches if necessary. Matholwch waited anxiously, keeping court, as his doctors assessed Branwen for any ailments. At last, a page boy rushed in and bade the king come to the Queen at once. Matholwch charged into the bed chamber to see his consort surrounded by wizened old men, grumbling to themselves and fiddling with their robes. Branwen sat upright in her bed with a stony expression carved into her face. “Mighty King,” she addressed her husband. “Might I trouble you to find me a single woman physician in your keep? These men, skilled and knowledgeable as they may be, seemed to have forgotten their anatomy lessons.” A few hours later, the king’s sentry escorted a local midwife from the village into the queen’s chambers. She emerged in less than ten minutes with a joyous smile. “The Saints bless thee, my King!” The midwife pronounced. “The Queen is with child! Already a month and a half along, and healthy as can be!”

#WritersCoffeeClub 7/22 Comedy, Romance, Horror in your WIP? share a snippet.

I like to think my #WIP has all of these elements in one way or another. Matholwch and Branwen's relationship starts our sweet and loving and quickly decays into something more horrific.

Here's a more light-hearted scene that seems appropriate for today, both due to the recent interesting turn in US politics (female pres candidate) and that my wife is attending a midwifery conference.
