Birth Quotes

The best way out is always through! By: Robert Frost
To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all. By: Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize Winner
"Choosing whether to have a vaginal delivery or an elective caesarean section is based on the premise that these two choices are essentially equivalent, but this is simply not true." By: Eugene Declercq, a professor of maternal and child health at Boston University School of Public Health
A pushed birth is one that is induced, sped up, and/or heavily medicated for no good reason, and all too often concludes with surgery, invasive instruments, an episiotomy, or a bad vaginal tear — outcomes you don’t want. Decades of research show that the healthiest birth for you and your baby — and that means your partner, your family, and your community — is a normal, vaginal birth with minimal intervention and maximum support. By: Jennifer Block Author of 'Pushed'
"God intended motherhood to be a relay race. Each generation would pass the baton to the next. But the baton has been fumbled. So, it's our job--yours and mine--to pick it up. We have to do more than follow in our mother's footsteps; we have to rediscover the lost art of mothering." By: Mary Pride
