Midwife Ina May Gaskin Talks about Natural Childbirth - 2

Love is how that baby was made, the emotion and hormone responses of love help bring the baby out and into the world. It is amazing.

Kissing for pain relief? Oh come on! When I was at the height of (unmedicated) pain, I wouldn't let my OH touch me! I just HHUUUURRRTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

Read the book "Birth Partner."

That's too bad. My biggest source of pain relief comes from my partner when we're close. There are chemical and hormonal factors that make things so much easier for a lot of women.

Different strokes for different folks! I'm sorry it hurt, next time do more pain research, you'll be amazed. :)

Thanks for this! She's brilliant. The best stories...

I loved giving birth naturally -at home- to our 1st baby.

And the next time I'm going to kiss my husband during contractions... So sweet!
