Haneefah Posted April 1, 2008 ^Right, from conception to birth, it's one amazing miracle after another. Subhanallah. I made the mistake of once walking into the labour unit while my sister-in-law was delivering and let's just say, I now look at mothers in a whole new light. Bravery would be an understatement.

Cara. Posted April 2, 2008 I dunno, I like the idea of preserving female mysteries. Firmly pushing the guy out the door (as if any Faarax would be around anyway), gathering the older women in the inner sanctum, doing whatever secret rituals need doing (eg, something involving foox?). Then coming out carrying the little bundle and watching the men cower against the wall. Power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naden Posted April 2, 2008 ^ Hmmm. I sorta agree, Cara. Maximum manipulation and mind control for the next 40 years require complete secrecy. I gave you children. I lost 2 organs, tore 5 sinews, messed up 8 hormones for your babies. Now your soul is mine. ALL MINE. Men have no idea how much evil motherhood entails.

Cara. Posted April 2, 2008 Wait, Naden. We can make up some of the organs and hormones right? I don't want to lose any real ones! As far as female plumbing goes, it's a black box anyway.

Nephissa Posted April 2, 2008 @ you two. Leave your power and evillness outside the delivery room and pick it up on the way out. Cara, Unless the older women were there at the conception too, they have no business staying there. It's such an emotional and personal experience which is thousandfold enhanced by a loving partner to share it with.

Cara. Posted April 2, 2008 Nephthys, let's face it. The older women might not have been there at conception, but they most certainly knew more of what was going on than the loving partner. At least going by the merciless teasing, winks and guffaws the poor brides in my family were subjected to. 'Course, since then those "X for Dummies" books have enlightened the brothers somewhat. I'm not looking forward to being an old lady anymore, all the fun has been taken out of it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zafir Posted April 2, 2008 LoL@Cara and Naden. Neph, Yaa kugu yiri iraac? Hihi. Ps: Cara, I need a copy of that book pronto! I don't know what I am doing wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT Posted April 2, 2008 Nephthys...I agree with you, the husbands should be present at the birth. If they can make 'em then they should be able handle being present at the birth. Thats the least they can do right? I don't agree with all this 'keep it a mystery for the man' BS either. What mystery? I honestly believe when they attend the birth, a husband will truly appreciate his wives sacrifice and what she had to go through to bring his child into this world.
