The analogy that I tell women is that
being ready to push is like being ready to vomit. When you feel nauseous you are probably going
to vomit some time. You know that it is coming but you are not actually doing
it. When you feel like you want to push you
know you are probably going to push soon but you are not actually doing it. (and probably not ready) When you vomit there is no stopping it. It
is an overwhelming bodily fuction. When you are ready to push it is
overwhelming and there is no stopping it. This analogy seems to help women. It is
something that they can relate to. Homebirth Midwife "It takes courage to remain a true advocate for women, challenging
authority and sacrificing social and professional acceptance. It takes courage
for a woman to choose a caregiver who will truly advocate for and empower
her." -Judy Slome Cohain -----Original
