Natural birth: Success vs Relief

I believe, a saying I once saw on facebook sums up the concept of natural and/or gentle and/or "islamy" birth very well. It goes something like this:

"I will not say it is going to be easy, I will say it is going to be worth it"

I feel that Success is different from Relief. This is because, sometimes Success is associated with the ability to "Conquer" or gain control over something, where as in Birth, YOU hand over ALL CONTROL to the primal instincts of your body- you quiet down all Noise; all desire to control your body and depend on human - to depend purely on The Creator.

Now, that may seem extreme to some, for some human (medical) assistance is "helpful". Yes, well, i will agree that it is. But THOSE offering medical assistance must also be in the right frame of mind. That they are there to offer assistance merely in a task which is already being done perfectly - laboring and birthing.

Their task is minute. They should not disturb the melody, the song, the hymn which is being sung.

Thus, as promised, after hardwork, comes double relief. (inna ma-al usri yusro)
