Quotes
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers- strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
Barbara Katz Rothman
We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong. Laura Stavoe Harm
However much we know about birth in general, we know nothing about a particular birth. We must let it unfold with its own uniqueness.
Elizabeth Noble
Attending births is like growing roses. You have to marvel at the ones that just open up and bloom at the first kiss of the sun but you wouldn't dream of pulling open the petals of the tightly closed buds and forcing them to blossom to your time line.
Gloria Lemay
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
