After all, there were plenty of historical inacurracies regarding Sybil's nursing in S2, so if he wants to have Sybil working while pregnant and with small children he will find a way to do it, regardless of whether or not it actually happened in 1920.
No doubt JF will make it whichever way he wants. lol. After all he figured that Sybil could become a nurse based on the skills she gained as VAD.

When Robert told Branson to address Sybil as "Lady Sybil" in ep 8, she called it "nonsense" and I remember hearing (though for the life of me I can't remember where) that JBF once commented that she thinks Sybil feels almost "embarrassed" having been raised in the lifestyle that she was.
You have a point about the "nonsense" line in 2x08. But before that we don't hear her dismissing her class at all. Interesting the JBF comment. I don't recall hearing about it before, but then I'm sure that I've not seen all her interview.
