Labor Coping

Labor Coping ~ The Amazing Birth Process

Not only can women "cope" with the pain & discomfort
of labor, but they can discover that giving birth can
be satisfying, even orgasmic & truly fulfilling.

"It is possible to have an ecstatic birth—in fact, that is the best natural high that I know of. And these states of consciousness are best reached when a woman is fully aware and fully awake. Women don’t have a way to know how their body works until they really try it out in birth. I think that women can be just completely surprised by the change in them from giving birth—
you have something powerful in you—
that fierce thing comes up— and I think babies need moms to have that fierceness— you feel like you can do anything and that's the feeling we want moms to have."

"When women understand what’s available to us at birth, then we won’t ever give that over to an expert, the birth power, the orgasmic power that’s in our bodies. When you meet a woman who has had an ecstatic birth, you can’t talk her into taking drugs that aren’t good for her body. You can’t talk her into a hysterectomy that she doesn’t need. You can’t talk her into a crummy diet. She’s come home to her body. She knows what this body is capable of. She loves this body. This body loves her. And there’s nothing like the transformation available at birth to nail that in there in such a way that she becomes illuminated, because she’s a channel for life. And then she becomes a channel for life in all its forms."
