All mothers can have the same experience if they are willing to spend a little time and trouble for a few months before hand by adopting a natural mode of life and by cultivating the necessary muscles to make birth easy. It is important to note that prior to conception the principal thing is to detoxicate the organism of the mother. Between conception and birth the organism needs to be reconstructed with pure, vital materials. Allopathic medicine very often begins a somewhat tardy detoxication of the mother during the post-conceptional period. This is not a good thing to do, as during this time the mother needs a sufficiency of more concentrated foods for building up the embryo within.
