Tuesday Inspirations #3

June 12, 2012 By Deena Leave a Comment

“Having a baby is hard enough. No woman should be asked to do anything else while she is having a baby. She shouldn’t have to renegotiate a birth plan, argue with her care providers about the evidence supporting her decisions, or advocate for her baby. She also shouldn’t have to comfort her husband or reassure her mother or educate her sister. Everyone around the birthing mother should attend her like the queen she is.                       ~Elizabeth Allemann, MD
