I love it! The very distillation of True Knowledge! Quant suff!

< Pregnancy begins with sex -- and for some women, it ends with some sexual 
feelings, too. How can birth be pleasurable? Is it really as far-fetched as 
it may sound? Diana Korte and Roberta Scaer, authors of A Good Birth, A 
Safe Birth: Choosing and Having the Childbirth Experience You Want, explain.

Glorious experience?
"It's a glorious experience. I know there are a lot of people who say, 'Oh, 
I hated being pregnant.' I felt exhilarated and really wonderful. ...[My 
second birth] was two days of labor, but not bad, not hard -- it was easy."
