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

If you can't be a hero, you can at least be funny while being a chicken.

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

Ask the woman, she will tell you everything you need to know

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?

Let your monkey do it.
