KD writes: " Perhaps, just perhaps, if women gave birth in comfortable,
familiar
surroundings, with friends and family and a midwife there to encourage her
as she delivers her own baby, and got to be in whatever position was most
comfortable and to progress at her own speed, and got to stay with her baby
. . . . . perhaps she wouldn't be so stressed out that first night. "

Now, Kathy...c'mon....there ain't no 'perhaps' about it......as well you
know : )
