I have pamphlets the doctor gave to my mom when she was pregnant with my oldest system.
One of the stress reliever points was that woman should smoke at least 2 cigarettes a day to combat stress due to pregnancy.
Remember that doctors in the 18 hundreds also prescribed a good doctor supervised masturbation session to woman to help them overcome hysteria.
