We are the only species of mammal that doubts our ability to give birth. It's profitable to scare women about birth. But let's stop it. I tell women: Your body is not a lemon.

If a woman doesn't look like a Goddess during labor, then someone isn't treating her right.

The human species is no more unsuited to give birth than any other of the 5,000 or so species of mammals on the planet. We are merely the most confused.

It does a man good to see his lady being brave while she has their baby... it inspires him.

The Creator is not a careless mechanic.

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

It would be a mistake, though, to consider care by family doctors or midwives inferior to that offered by obstetricians simply on the grounds that obstetricians need not refer care to a family physician or midwife if no complications develop during a course of labor.
