I get happy very easily and very often.

Pregnant women who are at risk for suffering complications and even death are in the prime of their lives. The most affected populations are minorities, Native Americans, immigrants, and women living in poverty and who speak little or no English.

My first experience of having a baby was about as natural as birth can be, and though I didn't know it at the time, it set my feet on a path that eventually led me to become a childbirth author and a midwife.

I am just one of many many thousands of midwives, who are devoted to saving lives gently.

Research points to the fact that being born without trauma is the foundation for having an intact capacity to love and trust.

Every baby's first breath on Earth could be one of peace and love. Every mother should be healthy and strong. Every birth could be safe and loving. But our world is not there yet

I had amazing midwives when I first became a teen-aged mom, and each of the five times I gave birth.
