Dear Abby Birth photos highlight for new momma

DEAR ABBY: Whv don't you and “New Grandma” grow up and accept the fact that giving .birth is a beautiful experience one that new mothers and fathers are eager to share with those who hold the same views? “New Grandma” complained because pictures were taken of her daughter during a painful labor, and actually giving birth. Grandma said, “Don’t tell me that an unwashed baby, still attached to its mother’s umbilical cord, is a beautiful sight. I call it sickening!” (And you agreed with her.) When "New Grandma” gave birth to her children, she was probably knocked out while her husband was pacing the floor in the waiting room. Now I call that “sickening”! NEW MOMMA IN VAN NUYS * * * DEAR ABBY: 1 have been an obstetrical nurse for dO years, and I’d like to add a few words to “New Grandma’s” letter. Today, parents are well-prepared for what happens in the delivery room. Fathers willingly witness the birth, and most of them take pictures. 1 think that’s fine.

But a few years ago it wasn’t all that fine. We had fathers fainting and getting sick all over the place. Most of them were there only because their wives had the attitude of, “Look at what you’re putting me through, you 5.0. b.” Grandma should get with it and realize that times have changed since she was screaming for something to put her under. FRANNY AT ST. MARY’S * * * DEAR ABBY: As a new father, I not only took pictures of my son’s birth, I had a tape recorder going. Mv wife and I enjoy hearing the first cries of little Donald as we look at the photographs. So do all our friends, relatives, grandparents and one great-grandmother. (The pictures are currently being used by our Lamaze instructor to help prepare new parents in the delivery of their offspring.) Although I am not a professional photographer, the pictures were taken with taste and discretion. For our next one 1 plan to use a video recorder. JERRY IN LAWNDALE, CALIF. * * * DEAR ABBY: Apropos “New Grandma’s” letter: In 1966, I was one of the first babies to be photographed during birth. In fact, my parents told me they searched the country in order to find a hospital that would allow it. I can t believe that in this day and age there are people so ignorant that they would regard the birth of a human being as “sickening.” 1 he birth of a baby is beautiful. To this day I enjoy looking at the pictures of myself being born, and I am grateful to my parents for having taken them. HEIDI T. IN L.A. ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: You and “Grandma” can go pick up your new kids, squeaky clean and antiseptically wrapped in white sacks just like McDonald’s hamburgers. For me, I’ll take the beautiful miracle of birth, natural, as God intended it. PAUL IN SMITHTOWN, N.Y. DEAR ABBY: For whatever it’s worth, my husband missed seeing me give birth. (Monday night football.) But a mirror was put up so I could see it. I even put my glasses on. GLAD I WAS AWAKE * * * DEAR ABBY About the “New Grandma” letter: My baby was delive red by a midwife, and although my husband did not take pictures of the actual delivery, he was allowed to cut the umbilical cord. He later said that was the most moving experience of his life. NEW MOTHER IN PHILLY DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, raised and married in the Catholic Church, and she’s been divorced for six years. She has five children. She is being married again in the Catholic Church! I told her I understood that a divorced Catholic cannot get married in the church, and she told me that she had her marriage annulled, so as far as the church is concerned it never took place! Also, 1 thought that after five years a marriage cannot be annulled. OK, so her marriage is erased, wiped out it never happened hut what about her five children? They happened! So if her first marriage never took place, doesn’t that make her children illegitimate? PROTESTANT NEIGHBOR DEAR NEIGHBOR: No. The Catholic Church recognizes civil law, therefore the children are legitimate. An annulment does not mean the marriage never took place. To annul means to nullify, repeal, cancel, to make void. And there’s no time limit; a marriage of any duration can be annulled. DEAR ABBY: Please pass this on to “Right-Handed Mama,” whose husband is trying to force their naturally left-handed child to become right-handed: The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Therefore, left handed people are the only ones in their “right mind.” LEFTY

Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: So many of you have asked if I have written a book with my hints in it. The answer is yes, in fact, two books have been published. The first is “Hints from

BACK TALK

by Dr. David Mohr Chiropractic Physician

LOW BACK LEG PAIN This year, nationwide, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer the disabling effects of spinal injury. Many of these symptoms of defects first appear as pain in the lower back and leg. The Doctor of Chiropractic has learned from long experience that most lower back and related leg pains are caused by physical defects in the alignment of one or several segments of the lower spine. Whenever lower back pain occurs, and persists, see your Doctor of Chiropractic. His experience and training will help you onto the road to recovery.

Two 'hint books' in print

Heloise,” and is written very much like the column. It should be in your bookstores in hard cover for $12.95 (Arbor House), and in a paperback edition for $6.95 (Avon Books). My latest book, “Help from Heloise,” was first published in hard cover for $14.95. Now it’s available in paperback and costs only $3.50. This book is the result of all the questions and problems I encountered while traveling around the country promoting my first book. I think you will like it, because it is in a very easy-to-find format with the hints arranged alphabetically so you can get to the answers you need in a hurry. Check your local bookstores. If they don’t have it, ask them to order it for you. I am very sorry but I can’t send one to you so please don’t send me a check keep calling your bookstore! Best of luck to you and if ever you need help, Heloise is here. Heloise LETTER OF THOUGHT Dear Heloise: I think the best way to avoid homesickness when moving to a new area of the country for an extended period is to subscribe to your hometown newspaper. Just the sight of a familiar paper makes me feel closer to my old ties and gives me such enjoyment. Jane Kubiak

PERFECT PILLOW Dear Heloise: I live alone and seldom have an overnight guest. But, when I do and need an extra pillow, I put a bag of polyester fiberfill, which I use for Crafts, in a pillowcase and tack the end closed. This makes an instant soft pillow and when I need the stuffing for my various projects, it’s still intact. This is much cheaper than buying a pillow that is used only once or twice a year. M.M. HINTS FROM HIM Dear Heloise: Pull tabs from aluminum cans make great picture hangers. Drive a nail or tack through the rivet into the picture frame, then bend the tab to the desired shape. Won’t hold heavy pictures, but they work well on lightweight ones. Allen Stem BACKSAVER Dear Heloise: Here is an easy way to get those winter tires or extra wheels into the car trunk without straining your back. Make a ramp with a board, an old table leaf, etc. Just prop the board on the trunk rim, then roll the tire up the board and bounce it in. Be sure to wear a pair of old gloves. No strain, no stain. Rita Sick

GARLIC GOODIE Dear Heloise: Herewith, my own pragmatic solution for the “kiss of garlic” without the bother of chopping (last minute) the pungent bulb. I keep a small bottle of salad oil in the refrigerator. In it I have dropped several segments of garlic. When I want a few drops of garlic-flavored oil to brush on fish we’re broiling, it’s quick and simple. Also, it has other practical uses, especially for quick microwave cooking of fresh vegetables as the oil and the fresh garlic flavor is readily available. Sulana Chait T-SHIRT SLEEPERS Dear Heloise: My 11-year-old son had quite a collection of short-sleeved, colored Tshirts, some with transfers on the front, which he had outgrown. He donated them to his 4-year-old sister, and now she has an almost endless supply of soft, stretchy nightshirts. She loves them! And no alterations for Mom. J.F.
