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”
