Yes, very much so.

Interesting, AHM42. In my youth I had four miscarriages when the foetus became too heavy. I was lucky in that Mr Green Armitage, a gynaecologist had found Dr Shrodkar in India who suggested a purse string suture round my cervix. In that way I was able to have four wonderful children. Now my rectal sphincter is misbehaving.
