I remember when Ina May Gaskin was in Charlottesville a few years ago she told the audience that she thinks some C-sections might happen because women are afraid to fart in front of everyone. They just don't feel like they can really push because they are sure they will let one go. After the farting and the pooping, when I could really let go and not feel inhibited...and just before that firey crowning...I can say that I felt something very good (and very personal) that could only be described as pleasurable.

We discussed this at birth circle a bit Monday. What could be equally shocking to the mainstream would be the film "Like-a-Huge-BM Birth" --it seems so many women are still surprised by this description. It also seems to be totally taboo to say that you pooped while pushing. (In fact, *I* even feel weird writing it here. Feel free to censor! ha) Wanted to share with you this conference I just found tonight while flitting around online. "Society's issues + Women's Voices" Boy do I want some voices to be heard...
