"Birth is not merely a means to an end..."

"Birth is not merely a means to an end,
it is an event that changes a family and is imprinted on a woman's life forever
.

The memories of their children's births are among the most vivid memories a woman will ever have
.

Get any group of women together and ask them about their birth experiences, and you will hear of joy, pain, sorrow, triumph, and a myriad of other strong and powerful emotions."

I hate word verification but I'm trying going unmoderated so that's my solution.
