that was absolutely amazing.

That looks like an awfully clinical spot to give birth. I feel a bit bad for her being alone and sterile like that. The way she was rearranging her straw made me think she might like fewer 90 degree angles and more organic things.

But this is an incredible sift.

I agree -- we humans seem to have developed some pretty crazy ideas about childbirth. It's no wonder so many women have trouble giving birth when the moment their water breaks, everybody panics and rushes them to a hospital where they are surrounded by impersonal doctors, technology and sterilility.

People seem to have forgotten that the entire animal kingdom, not to mention humanity in the past, have managed just fine giving birth out in nature with no medical assistance. I have a lot of respect for women who do home birthing; and happily it seems to be a growing trend.

Yes it was, and also absolutely disgusting. Maybe because i was eating a creme filled donut while watching her eat the after birth...
