Quotes from Sheila Kitzinger

All that is needed for the majority of labors to go well is a healthy, pregnant woman who has loving support in labor, self-confidence , and attendants with infinite patience.

In any society, the way a woman gives birth and the kind of care given to her and the baby points as sharply as an arrowhead to the key values of the culture.

For far too many, pregnancy and birth is still something that happens to them rather than something they set out consciously and joyfully to do themselves.
