Hi Margo,

You are so right: for many women this doesn't seem to be as far off as we 
want it to be, sad enough.
Yet, I dare say that for most births even this is exaggerated... ;-)
Especially because it *is* fairly close, the point they make is relevant.
I think this kind of satire may sometimes work better than our serious 
warnings.
But of course... everyone will feel different about it.
Like you, I had four births; unmedicated home deliveries they were, so this 
couldn't be more strange to me...! :o)

Bye,

Marianne

While I have a very well developed sense of humour and enjoy most Monty 
Python skits, this one just didn't tickle my funny bone at all.  I think b/c 
the sad reality is that this is so true for so many women that I just 
couldn't bring myself to be laughing at it.  Makes me so thankful that of my 
four babies, the one that ended up being a hospital birth was a good 
experience with barely any intervention.

Margo
