As we began to ride we heard the sirens. First one, quickly followed by another, then another, until their wailing filled the streets and pierced the skies. As each ambulance passed, my contractions grew more intense

Thank you so much for this. This has been something I've been thinking about very much lately. Not that I am pregnant, but bz''H, one day I will be. This was very inspirational.

Sarah, that was a beautiful article- it made me cry! I cant help but think as I read, about all the suffering the Jewish people have had to endure throughout time. Do you think this is G-d's way of bringing them through a birthing process as well, and only allowing this suffering to bring them a much blessed gift? I believe & hope that He would give meaning to such suffering. But thank you for the great & beautiful article! Many Blessings -J

Hi there, I just wanted to say that I totally agree with and appreciate your article.
It hurts me when others discuss the process of labour as such an unwanted ugly thing that can be dismissed with a pill or injection. It hurts me that women have been taught we cannot endure the pain and have not been taught to look past it to the beauty of our womenhood it represents.
I have a daughter and am going through a second pregnancy now. I look forward to labour and the pain because I see it as such a special experience that only you and that little person can go through together once and only once.
I also agree with your thoughts about others who would give anything for a chance to experience labour. Very insightful and needed to be said. Thank you for sharing so honestly.

I am almost 8 months pregnant now and your article gave me so much hope to get through the fear of the pain. With tears flowing I thank you!

Dear Sara,
I thoroughly enjoyed the article. I have two beautiful gifts from G-d and I wouldn't have traded the pain I went through for anything in the world. LIFE is precious, a GIFT from G-D and must be treated with the utmost RESPECT and DIGNITY. Thank you.

On the surfac e this looks like the most wonderful story, but I believe it to be anot only a selfcentred story (which would be ok) but also very selfish story with no regard to how it might make other women feel who for what ever reason opt for painkillers. Like You I had a totally drugfree birth but please ladies: NOBODY should feel a failure giving birth - however they choose to. How does one woman know what an others woman pain feels like and how can she think she can b e a judge on such matters? Just love your baby - they all are Netanels, what ever way they came into the world. A natural birth is not what made me a better mother.
