Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] birthing in dam water Hello Frank,
You have an interesting approach, but I think the clou of your story is to think that pain is equivalent to hurt. Giving a mother an epidural can hurt her more than help her cope with pain of normal labour Pain in labour is fysiological and when a women can cope with the pain, it will not hurt her. The pain helps her to know her time is there to make a nest and to call the people around her that will support her. Then the way she copes with the labourpain tells her in what stage she is and also wich movements she has to make to help the baby out. Giving birth is hard labour and hard labour in any way is not without pain. Indeed pain tells you something and the woman has to be able to listen to those signals without someone telling her what to do. Believe me, women know how to give birth and fysiological pain doesn't hurt, but I can't deny that you feel it :-))) Lieve --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
