In reply to Beth in MN.

Yeah, we tell these things to womens' groups here, too: about the shot (which they can hide from the men), and about the need to rest a bit between babies. They even have a word for a woman that has a baby every single year, "añera". Wow.

Thanks for the link. I like the fact that this group requires the families to contribute work to get stuff. This is very important; handouts tend to do more harm than good.
