"we all know natural birth is pretty much like trying to push a football through the eye of a needle"
From
Orgasmic birth and other old midwives' tales written by a homebirther Avril Moore in the Australian publication The Age:
On Ina May Gaskin:
Curious to see what her contemporary take on modern birthing practices would reveal, I logged on to www.orgasmicbirth.com, only to discover a much greyer Gaskin still expounding — "it is possible to have an ecstatic birth — in fact, it is the best natural high that I know of".
... [H]aving delivered three children vaginally (two at home and one in a labour ward) and having experienced an orgasm, I can confidently report there is nothing remotely similar between them.
If ever there was a reason for women to be suspicious of natural childbirth, it is the "orgasmic" vaginal delivery and "placenta-eating" claptrap that is trotted out every time home birth is put back on the health service agenda.
On the role of men in the natural childbirth movement:
What a paradox that this "woman-centred" approach to birth, all dressed up to empower labouring mothers, remains unapologetic in its deference to men. Gaskin's book was dedicated to her husband, spiritual leader and "head honcho" of the notorious "farm", Stephen, whom she claims taught her everything she knows about midwifery, including "respect for the life force and how to move psychic energy".
A similar misguided adulation surrounded Melbourne's two sagely home-birth doctors (replete with beards and sandals) during the '70s and '80s.
Their entourage of pregnant patients, "birth helpers" and midwives became such blind devotees that they were utterly bereft when one practitioner after the other was deregistered or suspended for malpractice.
On the effect of Gaskin and her campaign for "orgasmic" birth:
This stereotype promoted by Gaskin on the Orgasmic Birth website is exactly what drives women into the arms of their scalpel-wielding obstetricians, not to mention encouraging a good dose of post-natal depression due to profound disappointment with their labour.
On the reality of birth:
But please, let's get real, and stop equating this choice with some hokey idea of "ecstasy" when we all know natural birth is pretty much like trying to push a football through the eye of a needle — imagine that, fellas, whenever you're having an orgasm.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

One ԁisadvantage, аnԁ to me it's serious, it the time it takes to get my automobile refill. I might pay the more money to get it quicker, but had been told it is not an option. I can wait anywhere from 10 to22 nights for my order via DHL /USPS. Undesirable to make consumers on autorefill to hold back that long. We're you faithful customers!
