Maternity homes were places where women went for the birth of their child. |

yes like Becs said. My maternity home was just a place to deliver your baby, run by midwives with Doctors on call. Nice friendly cosy places they were. |

I agree with Becs and Margaret. I was born in a Maternity Home in 1925. Simply a maternity extension to the Royal Berks Hospital, even though a separate building some three miles from the main hospital. |
