"I believe that much of the reason why the women whose births we attended were able to get through without anasthesia or tranquilizers had to do with the atmosphere we learned to create at a birth. There is a physiological explanation for why some women experience more pain in labor than others. A woman who is the center of positive attention, feeling grateful, amused, loved and appreciated has a higher level of the class of neurohormones called endorphins. Endorphins actually block the perception of pain." Ina May Gaskin Spiritual Midwifery
