Quote from Appendix 52A of the book: Titled – Textbook Misogyny
Doctors are taught in the 2nd edition 1965 – Medical, Surgical, and Gynecological Complications of Pregnancy which is still much in use that assertive women are “dangerous”.
“Those patients who consider themselves ‘socially aware’ …are not necessarily more mature but are trying, by their active interest in everything ‘avant garde’ socially as well as medically, to persuade themselves and others that they are…This is the patient who is interested in such methods as ‘natural childbirth,’ hypnosis, or using childbirth as an ‘experience.’
The intensity of the demands of the occasional woman who is fanatical in her zeal for ‘natural childbirth’…and her uncompromising attitude on the subject are danger signals, frequently indicating severe psychopathology…A patient of this sort is not a candidate for natural childbirth, and requires close and constant psychiatric support.”
I read Michaels whole book, it is excellent, and I highly recomend reading it before you decide to give birth with an Obstetrician.

In 1Thess. 4:3-5, Paul speaks of the importance of the Saints knowing “how to possess (her) vessel in sanctification and honour,” unlike the “Gentiles which know not God.”
These words come to mind when I consider the nature of hospital birthing. Such is a place full of “Gentiles” who do not perceive things in the same manner as the Saints do, (or should), because they do not know God. The medical system is based on a belief system that is oppositional to Christianity, as are the protocols adhered to as the result of an erroneous paradigm.
For instance, the medical system promotes the theory of evolution. This theory affects the systemís approach to pregnancy and childbirth. As doctors and midwives learn their profession through materials tainted by this theory, their protocols (i.e. continuous fetal monitoring, frequent vaginal exams, movement restriction, augmentation of labor, induction, routine episiotomy, etc.) naturally reflect the dogma they have been indoctrinated with.
A Christian friend of mine, who herself gave birth unassisted with the assistance of her husband, and who is now studying to become a certified-nurse midwife (as she feels called by the Lord to do so), has been made to study in her anthropology class- “The Evolution of Human Birth.”

This morning I harvested my kitchen herb garden and am drying the herbs for later use.

This year I did Peppermint, two kinds of Basil, 2 kinds of Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, Parsley, and Lavender.
