But she has planned well, and read everything that she could get her hands on about natural childbirth. And her faith and knowledge can make this remarkable birth happen. But then there's her mother. Emily has tried to tell her she doesn't want her there for the birth. Emily relents, and puts herself back to square one.
Birth is the ultimate woman maker.
When it is given in power, sacredness, freedom, bliss, and passion it makes women blossom powerful and free as a women. It is the catalyst of fantastic change- the integral fire of life that enables new landscapes of thought, creativity and passion to emerge. Make it stop, Emily. Your mother will not crumble and die, even if she acts like she will. She hasn't learned how to be a grown-up about birth yet, so stop looking at her to be one.
