.Oh please. Next thing they'll be expecting us to lactate red wine. And excrete roses.
Notice how I totally elevated that last remark by using a word of Latin etymology instead of the more commonly used Middle English term. Horrified readers can expect me to resume posting literary excerpts tomorrow or the next day at the latest. I'm tired of being pregnant today and found it inexplicably soothing to pass the time searching for baby shower presents I would be appalled to receive. I've now got a whole folder full of them. The only thing worse than getting the Orgasmic Birth video from some random person at your baby shower would be getting it from your mother-in-law.
If you lactate red wine, *I* will marry you.

FYI, this is actually a very beautiful film. I hope you don't toss it before watching it.

"would be getting it from your mother-in-law."
I just choked on my coffee! :)
Seriously though - I think this "orgasmic birth" thing is just another attempt to make labor into a competition.
"I had a natural child birth!"
"Well, my delivery was orgasmic!"
As I tell my kids - something things are "PRIVACY".

I had a friend tell me breastfeeding gave her orgasms. Well, 4 children later, I still haven't had an orgasm while breastfeeding. Much to my relief.
