Didn't see that part. Agreed. Contemporary Medicine and Psychology ALL agree on this one.. strong maternal bond happens FAST.
I think it's just damn impressive to remain silent during birth. To me, its a lesser extent of monks who can remain celibate their entire life or not speak for most of their life. It's a show of great mental strength, something I believe most people lack. Most importantly, it's a
show of determination and mental strength that does NOT harm others.
Just imagine how DIFFICULT it would be to remain silent, especially without medicine. That takes mental control that most people do not posess, so I can respect her for that, if nothing else.
