Childbirth is so surprising an experience that after being born we don't talk for a year and a half.

Childbirth is an experience in a woman's life that holds the power to transform her forever.  Passing through these powerful gates - in her own way - remembering all the generations of women who walk with her. She is never alone.

Childbirth is a process through which two new beings are brought forth: a newborn and a mother.

Childbirth is an exquisite instant. Pain and joy are one at this moment. Ever after, the dim recollection is so sweet that we speak to our children with a gratitude they never understand.

Childbirth is a little like watching a wet St Bernard coming in through the cat door.

Childbirth is like watching two very inefficient removal men trying to get a very large sofa through a very small doorway, only in this case you can't say, 'Oh screw it, bring it through the French windows..'

Giraffes are almost always standing up. They sleep and give birth standing up.

Childbirth is built around a secret in our culture: it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.
