It is important to keep in mind that our bodies must work pretty well, or their wouldn't be so many humans on the planet.

When you cast doubt on some bodily function- you don't know how sensitive the body is to that kind of idea.

I have never observed even the slightest laceration in a woman who used clitoral stimulation as a relaxation method during birth. Clitoral stimulation seems to increase vaginal engorgement as the baby emerges.

The way a culture treats women in birth is a good indicator of how well women and their contributions to society are valued and honored.

Why do we, then, continue to treat women as if their emotions and comfort, and the postures they might want to assume while in labor, are against the rules?

Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life.
