Respecting and honouring birth

“Mothers do not sacrifice their babies for some peculiar notion of what might be a fun way to give birth. On the contrary, mothers love their babies enough to hold deep respect and honour for the process of bringing them to birth. It is that respect and honour that empowers us to give birth with love and joy.” — Midwife Jane Hearren in SageWoman, 1988
