Not trying to be a smarty britches, but doesn't God's hand figure in all births whatever the situation?
No, it's just what I call it... birthing with assistance only from God and no one else... see the middle link in my siggy I do believe God has a hand in every birth, obviously, but I also believe that in some births, the attendants almost play God in what they are doing to the woman/baby. I wrote about it a LOT in some older posts (pre-pregnancy), lol, it can't be summed up in just 1-2 sentences.



Thanks
