'The
quality of the birthing experience does not only depend on
what is taking place inside the pelvis, but also on
everything that is going on in our minds
“Joy in childbirth is a matter of the
woman’s expectations about labour, her relations with her
body and her feelings about child-bearing, her deepest
hopes and fears, her relationship with her partner and her
parents, her acceptance of her new role, and the way in
which she co-ordinates all these emotions and
relationships'.
