#pregnancy resources

[thepro-lifemovement]

Can you give me some arguments about abortion and eugenics with black Americans in mind? My older sister is pregnant with her second child and everyone (our mom, her child’s father, our aunts and grandma) are pushing for her to have an abortion. She’s a great mom but she’s young and we’re poor. My moms also delivering ultimatums like she’s not helping her like with her son. I can tell she doesn’t want to but she feels a lot of pressure. I just want to help her feel supported and there’s another way.

Hello! I'm sorry your sister is being pressured into an abortion. That's horrible and completely unfair to her. Keep offering her emotional and moral support. I will link other resources to help support her and her children.

Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's founder, was a known eugenicist who wanted to supply birth control and abortions to the black community because she believed their children would be burdens to the nation.

But Sanger's preferences went beyond race. In her 1922 book "Pivot of Civilization" she unabashedly called for the extirpation of "weeds . . . overrunning the human garden"; for the segregation of "morons, misfits, and the maladjusted"; and for the sterilization of "genetically inferior races." 

Sanger's own racist views were scarcely less opprobrious. In 1939 she and Clarence Gamble made an infamous proposal called "Birth Control and the Negro," which asserted that "the poorer areas, particularly in the South . . . are producing alarmingly more than their share of future generations." Her "religion of birth control" would, she wrote, "ease the financial load of caring for with public funds . . . children destined to become a burden to themselves, to their family, and ultimately to the nation."

Following Sanger's death in 1966, Planned Parenthood felt so confident that it had safely buried her past that it began boasting about "the legacy of Margaret Sanger." And it began handing out cutely named Maggie Awards to innocents who often had no inkling of her real views. The first recipient was Martin Luther King--who clearly had no idea that Sanger had inaugurated a project to set his people free from their progeny. "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the Minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members," Sanger wrote to Gamble. Had Dr. King known why he may have been chosen to receive the award, he would have recoiled in horror.

She also referred to people as "human weeds":

In promoting birth control, she advanced a controversial "Negro Project," wrote in her autobiography about speaking to a Ku Klux Klan group and advocated for a eugenics approach to breeding for “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”

Here is more on how Planned Parenthood would target the black community.

Here is an article on Abortion’s Devastating Impact Upon Black Americans.

Planned Parenthood puts 86% of its abortion facilities in minority neighborhoods.

In the Black community in particular, abortion rates have become so high that abortion is a public health crisis. As Live Action News’ Danny David reported in 2016, “Relying on statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Guttmacher Institute, the team of researchers concluded that abortion is responsible for… 61.1% of black American deaths, and a shocking 64% of Hispanic/Latino deaths – making abortion by far the leading cause of death for blacks and Hispanics/Latinos.”

One of my favorite pro-life activists is Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical school.

She also argued that the abortion industry was targeting the Black community. “Blacks suffer more from abortion because what looks like help is actually striking against them,” she said in 1977. “Blacks are fewer. They will disappear sooner.” This prediction has been sadly prescient, as Black women get a disproportionate number of abortions, the highest rate among all women, and in some cities, like New York, more Black children have been aborted in recent years than were born.

I'd recommend you read that article about her. She's an inspiration in the movement.

Here are some black pro-life organizations:

I would urge you to call 211 to figure out what resources are available to your sister in your local county.

You can see if your local Catholic church has a St Vincent de Paul which will give your family free food upon request and help pay a bill if needed. I know Baptist churches also offer financial assistance, if needed. You can save money on bills by getting food for free from food banks, as well. Visit or call your local crisis pregnancy center about what services they can offer to your sister. I know many pro-life centers will give her free baby items and baby clothes, and I know some offer mother support groups.

Here is a master list of available pregnancy resources:

Make sure she knows she's not alone and there are people out there willing to help support her. Keep offering her support! You're doing great! I'm sorry your sister is dealing with pressure from family to abort her baby.

Let me know if you need any other information! Hoping you are able to find helpful resources to help her choose life.

-Sarah

Hey, I'd be grateful if you could repost this so it can stay anonymous, but an internet acquaintance of mine just found out she's pregnant and doesn't feel capable of caring for a child right now. She's pro-choice and so I'm worried that she's going to abort and even if she doesn't, it's a scary, uncomfortable situation to be in for anyone. Would you/ your followers be willing to pray for wise choices and health and peace of mind for her and her child?

I'm going to try to offer whatever help/ resources I can, but like I said, I don't know this person very well so I'm limited in what I can provide or they'll be willing to accept.

Praying!

Here’s two great resources you could offer her:

Both of these organizations connect women with an advocate who will provide both mentorship and personalized local resource referrals.

[ettawritesnstudies]

hey dude, saw your post about abortion, and based on your url i'm assuming you're a woman. you're saying you believe that no matter the consequence you are going to stand with the group that is limiting the rights of women. That if a ten year old gets raped she should be forced to go through months and months of stress her body is not meant to handle that she may die from, but if she doesn't she will most certainly be even more traumatized. If a teenager is too immature to adopt, why are they suddenly mature enough to have a child of their own? That if a woman's preventative measures fail during sex she should have to have a child now (though the man *might* have to pay child support *maybe*). That women should be forced to bring a child into this world even if they *know* they don't have the means to raise the child and it may starve and die, and if it doesn't their childhood will still be deeply damaging and traumatizing. That you support women getting unsafe abortions (because studies show abortion numbers don't go down when it's banned, just the survival rate). Anti-abortionism is getting legislation passed that forces these situations. And all of these are real examples that have really happened. If someone is going to die from kidney failure and another person has a healthy kidney, we don't force the healthy person to donate a kidney to keep another person alive: that would be a violation of bodily autonomy. Telling a woman to not abort a fetus is the same thing - telling her what to make sacrifices to her own body to keep another person alive.

So why did you post that?

Hello Anon,

I posted that because (as I state in my bio) I'm a Catholic, and a scientist, and I believe that from the moment of conception, the zygote/embryo/fetus/infant/child is it's own person with equal rights and dignity. All of those designations are medical terms for a small human at different stages of development: from even the first day, the child has its own DNA. At four weeks the heartbeat starts, which is usually when women have missed one cycle and realize they are pregnant. At 12 weeks, by the end of the first trimester, when most abortions are performed, all organs are fully formed and simply need to grow.

This is an issue of bodily autonomy, but it is the child's life that is being violated. It is a human rights issue, not only a women's rights issue. This is not the same as the kidney transfer example because a child is not a part of the mother's body. A more accurate example would be asking if it is right to kill someone perfectly healthy for their kidney to keep another person alive - No matter the consequence, I am going to stand with a group that acknowledges the unborn child is a person, and wants to protect the rights of both the mother and the child throughout the pregnancy.

That being said, I understand where your concerns come from and I do not want to dismiss your anxiety and frustration. I do care about each and every one of those women you mentioned and so I'm going to provide some resources that may help you understand where I'm coming from and how we all can help mothers in crisis.

Rape is a horrible crime and nobody (man or woman) should ever suffer that experience. The child conceived out of rape did not have a choice in the conditions of their creation. They are just as much a victim as the mother. In the case of any complications, an abortion clinic will not have the resources available to care for both the mother and the child. Any woman in a life-threatening pregnancy should go to the ER instead, and these woman should receive counseling and support, not a surgeon telling them their problems will be gone after they get rid of the child. Abortion is also proven to be extremely traumatic for many women, and there is no way to look at this situation that isn't thoroughly miserable, but performing an emergency C-section as soon as possible is still preferable to making that young woman also suffer the death of her child. I encourage you to read Kathy Barnette's story: she was conceived in rape when her mother was 12 years old and her testimony is extremely powerful.

Less than 1% of abortions occur for cases of rape, incest, or life of the mother. The rest are elective, due to family pressures, lack of support from her partner, financial struggles, still being in school, or a myriad of other reasons. Again, a child does not have any choice in the conditions of their conception. Pro-Lifers support legislation that would require the father to pay child support through the pregnancy, longer paid maternity/paternity leave, and other relief programs to support women in crisis pregnancy situations, and until that legislation is passed, we are setting up women's shelters and resource centers to help by putting our money and time where our mouth is. These services such as pregnancy tests, prenatal and parenting classes, essential supplies, counseling, post-abortive medical care, adoption support and funding, maternity housing, and more are (depending on location) very often completely free. Planned Parenthood does also supply these services, but always at a charge, because they know women are desperate. If you or someone you know is in this situation, seek out help through 40 Days for Life and their associated national organizations.

The pressure to abort and the increased risk of death from "back-alley" abortions in these situations comes from a societal problem that can be solved with proper support structures. Additionally, abortion clinics are not held to the same safety standards as hospitals and crisis pregnancy clinics. In my home state of Pennsylvania - in the very liberal areas of Allentown and Philadelphia, there have been several cases of the department of health refusing to investigate violations because "it's wrong to get in the way of a woman's right to abortion" leading to the deaths and endangerment of minority women. This year, the Allentown Planned Parenthood was cited for violating the state requirement to test women for the Rh protein. Kermit Gosnell was an active serial killer as recent as 2011. The investigative journalist who uncovered this story has produced a film and true crime podcast about this clinic, which I encourage you to watch and listen to.

After Roe v Wade was passed, abortion was supposed to become safe, and rare. It is neither of those things. 60 MILLION children have been lost to abortion in our generation. That's roughly one third of my peers. To top it all off, Margaret Sanger, the founder of PP, was a notorious racist, and most locations today still target underprivileged minority neighborhoods in the inner cities. Sex and Disability selective abortions are mostly still legal, and so baby girls and disabled kids are especially at risk. How can that be feminist? Despite being the most common genetic disorder with 1/800 kids being diagnosed and a very high survival rate and quality of life, roughly 90% of children with Down Syndrome have been aborted. this is eugenics, plain and simple.

Abortion does not help women or solve the problem of a society that does not support mothers and families and the minorities of the world. All it does is hide the problem and perpetuate this broken system behind a veneer of "progressiveness". I apologize if this upset you, but this is my opinion, and if you do not agree, you are welcome to unfollow me. Usually I keep this blog politics-free and post all non-writing stuff to a sideblog, but I accidentally missed that post, and for the sake of completeness, I will post this publicly here as well. My DMs are open if you want to continue this discussion.

You know what? You know what I think?

I think that if we lived as we were meant to, in larger intimate ("extended family") groups and with more shared labor and time to do it (UBI NOW) people like me would not feel so useless and burdensome because there would be people around to help and to do what neurodivergent people can't while making valuable space for the neurodivergent to do what they ARE good at.

The way we live right now, all right, the way we live right now forces units of two adults to be able to do EVERYTHING or PAY to have someone come do it for them. I have to do the housework. I have to do it! But I am having to do a million different things and most of them I am not good at. I suck at them.

I wouldn't feel like shit, okay, if I had more than one other person around who was not a child and who could do the things I can't, like do the yard and cook and do repairs and basic maintenance; and someone else to split everything else that I like but is too much for me. It would free me to do what I am good at and enjoy. Cleaning, as in the sink and toilet, the windows, the blinds. Taking out trash. Folding, hanging, and sorting laundry.

But because all the shit I can do often relies on other shit being done first, and I can't do or have trouble doing those things, the shit I can do often can't be done. And even the shit I can do, I can't do ALL of it. So I can't keep up, and things get very bad.

We aren't meant to live like this. We are not meant to live like this.

That thought hurts so much because being able to flee the birth family is integral to survival for so many people. I'm so afraid that living in larger family groups would create more opportunities for, say, queer kids to be isolated, rejected, bullied, and abused. But if we gave people enough money to survive, and stopped considering children the property of their parents with no system in place to help them escape bad situations except a system that is often just as bad, just different.

I'm aware that communes and collectives aren't all that successful and are kind of a joke. I don't mean that. I mean a fundamental shift to multigenerational families where taking in "strays" (which my family did) is also normalized so people escaping abuse into existing households was accepted, with these families centered in maybe a couple of different larger residences so not everyone has to buy and maintain their own fucking washing machine and vacuum cleaner, and so people can benefit from large group meals that yield leftovers, and so child and elder care can also be centralized.

Then disabled people and the neurodivergent and sick and injured people, and pregnant people, and grieving people, would not have to either labor through all those stressors or consign themselves to living off an unlivable pittance or being put under legal guardianship.

I'm not saying anything new. People live like this in other parts of the world and maybe it sucks and I am wrong. But I'm just really mad right now because I can either do laundry or clean the sink but not both, and I really think we could improve society somewhat by making it so I did not have to choose one without sacrificing the other.

🍎 ｡:*• ─ WEREWOLF PLOTS.    ›   ( a compilation of plot ideas involving werewolves, suitable for both modern days and past eras/AUs. )

1. The cure — muse A is a scientist who, having had a bad experience with werewolves in the past ( maybe they barely escaped from an attack ?  maybe they’ve seen a loved one being attacked/kidnapped by werewolves ?  maybe they’re the descendant of a deceased wolf-hunter ? ), has dedicated their whole life to find a cure for lycanthropy. One day they find and kidnap muse B, a werewolf, to keep in their lab and learn more about their condition, maybe even do some testing and experimenting on them. How will their relationship develop ? Will A learn that there’s more to werewolves than meets the eye ?  Could they make peace with the past and accept B for what they are ?  Or will they forcefully cure them ?  Will B turn against their captor ? Try to escape or punish them by turning them into what they most despise ?

2. The hunt — muse A and muse B come from an old, renowned clan of werewolf hunters ( they could be siblings, cousins, a couple or just friends ) . They’re considered the best, but during a particularly difficult hunt, muse A makes a mistake and gets attacked by the werewolf, who escapes unharmed. Now they both know it’s only a matter of time before A also turns into one of the creatures they’ve hunt all of their lives. Will B put their old beliefs and traditions above all and abandon A ?  Maybe even try to kill them ?  Will both of them return to their clan and pretend nothing happened for as long as they can, while trying to look for a cure ? Will this give them and their clan a whole new perspective on werewolves, or will everything remain the same ?  And what if they end up face to face with the werewolf that bit A ?  Will they still want revenge, try to learn more about A’s condition, become friends with the wolf ?  ( As an alternative, muse B can be the werewolf, instead of muse’s A hunting partner. )

3. The prophecy — muse A and muse B are two werewolves born on the same night ( maybe they’re twins, or just belong to the same pack ?  maybe different packs ? ), fitting the exact description of an ancient prophecy that says that one of them is destined to bring peace, while the other is fated to start a pack war. As they grew up, have they always known about this prophecy ?  How has it affected them and/or their relationship with each other ?  Is it apparent which of them will bring peace and who will bring war ?  Do they even believe the prophecy or will do anything in their power to prove it wrong ? And what if, in their efforts to escape their fate, they end up fulfilling it ?  Could a pack war be necessary to ultimately achieve peace ?

4. The willing victim — muse A has never been popular  ( maybe they were considered the “weird kid” at school and suffered bullying growing up ?  maybe they’ve moved a lot and never made friends ? ), struggling with lack of confidence and never being taken seriously by their co-workers and/or love interests. With little to no social life, they had plenty of time to dedicate to something that has always fascinated them — werewolves !  Having watched all the movies and read all the books, muse A knows all the lore about werewolves, so when they meet muse B ( a new roommate/neighbor/co-worker ?  someone they met at a bar or just passing by ? ) it doesn’t take them long to notice some signs and recognize them for what they truly are. Will A confront B with this ?  Will B try to deny the truth ?  Will A see this as an opportunity to be more than what they’ve always been and beg B to turn them into a werewolf as well ?  Maybe even blackmail them into it ?  Will B give in ?  And if yes, would they try to take care of the new wolf, teaching them all they know ?  Would A try to impress the people in their life with their new powers, maybe even take revenge ?  How would the relationship between A and B develop ?

5. The new pup — muse A had a one night stand with a stranger and ends up pregnant, but something isn’t quite right, as they tend to sleepwalk and have a peculiar craving for raw meet, especially when there’s a full moon. Muse B is taking care of them ( they could be a friend, a family member, a house keeper, etc... ) and, secretly being a werewolf, knows exactly what is wrong with muse A. Will they tell A ?  Will they assist them in birthing and raising a baby werewolf ?   ( Alternatively, if muse A is male, they could have had a one night stand with a stranger and, nine months later, a baby is left at their door. Muse B is a friend / partner / family member / roommate living with them and, being a werewolf, knows exactly why this baby isn’t like any other they’ve seen before. )

6. Tale as old as time — muse A is a werewolf, muse B is a vampire. Ignoring the centuries-old war between the two species, they love each other. Will they be able to conceal this relationship from their clans ?  Pretend to hate and fight each other in the presence of others, while secretly meeting afterwards ?  What if they were discovered ?  Would they run away together, fueling the war even more ?  Would their familial bonds speak louder than love ?  Or could love be the answer and the beginning of a truce ?  What if an hybrid child had been conceived ?  And what if muse A is betrothed to the alpha of their wolf pack ?  Would they end up fulfilling their duty and abandon their vampire lover, in order to protect them ?  ( As an alternative, muse B can be the alpha to whom A is promised. How would they react to the news that their betrothed had been with a vampire ?  Could they look past it and still accept A ?  Could A learn to love B ? ) 

[nerdyqueerandjewish]

Idk how universal this is maybe it’s because my mom was a teen mom and I grew up in an area where unplanned pregnancy / lack of access to reproductive healthcare was a big issue, but I feel like there has to be a way to talk to teenagers about safer sex and pregnancy that doesn’t make you feel guilty and bad when you do decide to have a family.

Like, in the mid 2000s there was also all this fear mongering about teens getting pregnant on purpose / making “pregnancy pacts” and I feel like my sex ed was like “even if you think you want to have kids right now you don’t actually” which… was probably true if any middle and high schoolers wanted that but 1) genuinely don’t believe that any actually did 2) I feel like reality checks can be given in a way that aren’t “I know you better than you know yourself” 3) if a teenager gets pregnant, no matter how accidental or on purpose it was, it’s still their body and their child and denying them agency in making such important decisions about that is extremely cruel and unjust.

Anyway now I’m 30 and I still feel like I’m going to be scolded for wanting to have kids. When I went to my doctor to talk about it, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d be told that I wasn’t mature enough and that I was being silly and would ruin my life. I’m still nervous about my family’s reaction. Because it’s not like the magic age of being 18 changes people’s thoughts on it, and there’s no defined point when someone is “grown up” enough to make these kind of decisions. And it is so cultural and context dependent - on the other side of my family where people have kids in their early and mid 20s I’m basically an old maid and people give me sad looks and say “don’t worry … someday it could still happen.” But even on that side of the family, pregnancy announcements are usually met with skepticism and negativity.

It seems like no matter what the norms around it are, there’s a message of undercutting the notion that people should make decisions for themselves, and it is multiplied as the person is marginalized.

All across Mississippi, pro-life advocates are ramping up efforts to help mothers and babies in need.

“We’re going to take a state like Mississippi—a state that gets picked on by the media and pop culture—and we’re going to make it the champion of hope and life, hospitality and generosity,” Anja Baker told Christianity Today.

Baker leads Her Plan in Mississippi, an organization that works to meet the needs of pregnant mothers who are considering abortions and help them choose life for their babies. A project of SBA Pro-Life America, Her Plan connects women with local organizations and churches that provide everything from financial support to legal assistance to child care.

Mississippi is not alone. Pro-life advocates all across the country are working to expand support for pregnant and parenting families, both through legislative and community-based initiatives.

Some are working to expand Medicaid for new mothers, create tax credits for unborn babies and expand workplace accommodations (paid parental leave, flexible hours) for parents. Others are opening and expanding pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes and other community-based charities that walk alongside struggling women and babies locally, providing material support, information, counseling and more.

Before we hit 4th of July...

Listen. I know our country is in shambles. Our culture has been torn apart. Our government is the enemy of the people. Our institutions are captured by ideologues. Our media and government have been lying to us since before any of us were born. The Constitution has been ripped to shreds. We have long since passed the point where others would have begun throwing tea in the harbor.

I am not proud of where our country is now. We are in decline. I fear for where we are headed.

Independence Day is not a celebration of our government or our leaders. It's also not a celebration of what our country is today. It's not even really a celebration of some long-gone glory days.

Independence Day is two things:

A reminder of what our country was intended to be, that we should not be complacent or satisfied with things as they are now.

A chance to be obnoxious and annoy non-Americans

So starting at about 11pm tonight I will continue my tradition of having scheduled posts publish every hour for the duration of Independence Day.

I don't want to hear all the edgy takes about how terrible our country is. I know. I'm aware. You're not being original. Being disillusioned doesn't make you cool. Just let me have this one day - and maybe let yourself have a little fun with being American.

You know how octopi have a reputation for getting out of their enclosures just for funsies?

Well that’s how they found out that not only one but two of their enclosures had security failures when Brainstorm’s belly looked a little too big and Percy looked a little too pleased with himself.

Poor staff were completely unprepared when Percy was missing for his enclosure again and Brainstorm started laying thousands of egg capsules. Since the birthing process takes days, they’re frantically trying to calculate if they could take care of thousands of baby octo formers and trying to find Percy

Obviously Percy was with Stormy for emotional support, but with instincts running high, he ends up mating Stormy again right after the birth (to cut competition of course). Stormy was a little grumpy with Percy immediately ravaging his aching valve but the amount of transfluid in his gestation chamber made it worth it

So not only do the staff have thousands of egg capsules to deal with, they also got 2 territorial octoformers who won’t give them up and one that is pregnant AGAIN.

Ohhh i love this. Perceptor sneaking into Brainstorm's enclosure during the night, the two of them hiding in a blind corner where the security cameras won't see them intertwining tentacles and rolling into each other with increasing franticness. Maybe sometimes Brainstorm gets out of his own enclosure to surprise Percy in turn, eagerly offering him his valve...

Their nightly flings quickly turn into Brainstorm stuffed with a massive clutch and Perceptor becoming protective and less receptive to the facility staff, sometimes even getting out during the day to tend to Brainstorm... When Brainstorm starts giving birth Percy is with him, arranging the eggs and rubbing his tentacles over his swollen valve, getting more and more pushy as the sight of Brainstorm's beautiful fat belly deflating makes his instincts rev up. Perceptor ends up getting so overexcited that he shoves his spike into Brainstorm right after the last of the eggs is out, pumping him so full of transfluid that he immediately starts producing another batch of eggs <3

Does anyone know... r there any menstrual tracking apps that don't have a lib pro-hypersexual "feminist" slant....... i am using Clue so far and idk it's not a huge deal but if I'm in a bad mood I don't wanna see any stupid stuff the paywalling and pro version begging are annoying too

I like having a visual calendar + cycle diagram, rough predictions, and compiled stats (avg cycle length and deviation), that's all really... fertility-related functions would be cool for when I get married. But it just makes me so so frustrated when reproductive health resources assume I'm sexually active + on contraceptives just because I'm an adult woman :/ instant seethe if u tell me unprompted to get checked for STDs or even bring up contraception.

“It is far too early for the baby to come!”

“The pain started an hour ago and it happened so quickly. There was blood and then it was over.”

“Why is there blood on your dress?”

“I came as fast as I could. The babe…?”

“You’ll be alright. These things happen unfortunately. The bleeding will stop soon.”

“I will not leave your side, I promise.”

“Here, hold my hand and squeeze it as hard as you want.”

“Tell me how I can help you.”

“Why don’t we take a little walk? It might help with the pain.”

“A bath will help with the pain. I’ll have a maid draw it up for you.”

“Let me help you change into something more comfortable.”

“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than here with you.”

“That’s it, deep breaths. I know it hurts, but you are doing so well.”

“You don’t have to lie flat on your back. There are other positions you could try.”

“You are doing so well! I can see the baby’s head!”

“One big push and the babe will come.”

“There is a lot of blood. Should there be so much blood?”

“I have been in pain all night, but thought nothing of it.”

“I think my waters have broken.”

“Quick, call for the midwife, the baby is coming too fast!”

“I cannot do this! I want the pain to stop!”

“I do not want my husband in here. He will only be in the way.”

“This is a place for women only. Men have to stay outside.”

“I think I might vomit from the pain.”

“Please help me take a bath. Maybe that will ease the pain.”

“I have been in pain for hours. When will it finally stop?”

“This is your first babe. It will take a while to come.”

“What if my body doesn’t know how to do this?”

“Quick, help me lie down. I think I can feel the head coming.”

“Please don’t leave me alone here with strangers! I am afraid.”

“I wish to nurse my babe myself. I don’t require a wet nurse.”

“Come here and hold your son/daughter.”

“I am so very proud of you for gifting me this little miracle.”

“Childbirth truly is the battlefield of women.”

“The babe has your nose and my eyes.”

“I never thought babies were so…small.”

“Rest now, you have done well. I will watch the babe.”
