I wonder if this and many other situations are mostly about (the illusion of)
control and apparent loss of same?
Dear Friends:
    Karen asks a fundamental question. Isn't the whole medical management of
birth and breastfeeding about control? And naturally, when control is the
underlying issue, our mothers (growing up in our culture where control is very
important) will reflect the struggle for control when they have their babies.
    warmly,
