We are the only
species of mammal that doubts our ability to give birth. It’s profitable to
scare women about birth. But let’s stop it. I tell women: Your body is not a
lemon. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth well as
aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it
has not been habit throughout your life so far I recommend that you learn to
think positively about your body.
