What about including the purpose of pain? That pain during the birth
process is normal and instead of being feared, should be seen as positive
and worked with!
There are some great articles out on that, including some work from Sarah
Buckley.

I am a BMid student and have already been
told that our local tertiary hospital would not employ me. I then wondered if
that was not a case for discrimination.
