It is my dream
... that every woman be able to give birth tenderly supported by her partner on every level of body, mind and spirit; fully aware and in comfort, trusting the entire process, and in control of her birthing body.
... that every baby would gaze into her parents' eyes at birth with wonder, not fear, and be allowed time to respond to her parent's voices and gentle touches, and patiently encouraged to breastfeed immediately after birth.
... that caregivers would patiently welcome each and every baby into the world with quiet reverence and gentle respect. |
