I think the utter relief after giving birth and the euphoria and oxytocin
running through your body with a wet warm baby on your belly can be

Noises during birth ARE similar to sex I think...not that I eaves drop
that often! ;o) I think when people think of birthing positions and
facial expressions not being 'ladylike' I often want to say it doesn’t

As someone who facilitates couples' preparation for birth as part of a
comprehensive 12 week course that essentially gives the dads training

This is an interesting report in today's Sydney Morning Herald. I remember
Michel Odent talking about research done in the US that explored the effect
on a couple's sexual relationship when the man had been exposed to the
birth process. Michel was advocating that women might want to retain some

I agree Megan, but sadly we have had these wonderful experiences due to
independent midwifery and homebirth.
I can see how so many men (even the good one's!) would be traumatised by
birth within the system and see it as such a gruesome event.
