• Si queremos encontrar alternativas seguras a la obstetricia, debemos redescubrir la partería. Redescubrir la partería equivale a devolver el parto a las mujeres. E imaginemos el futuro si los equipos quirúrgicos estuvieran al servicio de las comadronas y de las mujeres en lugar de controlarlas.

• Cuando estés de parto, recuerda que la duración del parto suele ser proporcional al número de personas que haya alrededor. Evita la presencia de cualquiera que pueda liberar adrenalina. La mejor situación que conozco para un parto fácil es cuando no hay nadie más alrededor que una comadrona experimentada, maternal y silenciosa que no se comporte como una guía o una observadora.

• Sarah Buckley is precious, because she is bilingual. She can speak the language of a mother who gave birth to her four children at home. She can also speak like a medical doctor. By intermingling the language of the heart and the scientific language she is driving the history of childbirth towards a radical and inspiring new direction.

• So many words commonly used to describe childbirth-support, patient, management, delivered by, coached, helped, guided-suggest that a woman does not have the power to give birth without being dependent on somebody else. This isn't the case at all.

• People never sing...except in the bathroom. Birthing women also make their natural sounds next to running bath water. There is something about the power of water. People are drawn to water, spas, and sacred streams. Women in labor are drawn to water, too.
