Should you be ashamed of being on benefits? And are you a better woman if you endure the pain of a natural birth?

At 1- Should you be ashamed of being on benefits? The government has announced a range of sweeping cuts to the benefits system in a bid to save billions of pounds. Yesterday we talked about child benefits, but today we're talking about cuts to all benefits - for example tax credits, housing benefit, and job seekers allowance. If you get any of these benefits, do you REALLY need them? Is it time you gave up your benefits and paid your own way?

After 2 - Are you a better woman if you endure the pain of a natural birth? It's a conversation a few of us had over the weekend, that back in the day when our mums gave birth they didn't have gas and air and epidurals...they suffered the pain and pushed! So are you made to feel weak if you opt for all the pain relief?
