Don't forget to bring your sense of humor to your labor.

Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body.

When you destroy midwives, you also destroy a body of knowledge that is shared by women, that can’t be put together by a bunch of surgeons or a bunch of male obstetricians, because physiologically, birth doesn’t happen the same way around surgeons, medically trained doctors, as it does around sympathetic women.

When a child is born, the entire Universe has to shift and make room. Another entity capable of free will, and therefore capable of becoming God, has been born.

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

Squat 300 times a day, you’re going to give birth quickly.

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.
