This interconnection is often overlooked, especially by those who find the notion of birth and breastfeeding as sexual events rather distasteful or even shocking. Our unwillingness the acknowledge the innate sexuality of childbearing has been a major factor in the continued denigration and humiliation of women when they give birth. By refusing to accept the central role of oxytocin, we have excused ourselves from finding ways of ensuring its successful release and unimpeded flow, and in the process, inflicted long and unnecessarily painful labours on women. The resultant "failures" during labour have been attributed to inherent weaknesses in women, when they should have been recognised as a lack of understanding of the action of the basic labour hormones and an unwillingness to provide the necessary conditions for their unimpeded release."Lithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11025705872272386741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065824446133590920.post-73828770291283636832008-11-01T07:30:00.000+11:002008-11-01T07:30:00.000+11:00excellent! i loike it.Badbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13169982120224985787noreply@blogger.com
