Think about what happens during a G-spot orgasm. Huge muscular contractions and a large quantity of fluid release. Both of these would be very beneficial in birthing a child.
But, there's no reason that you couldn't achieve this with the right mindset and a midwife, or even an understanding doctor.

You are exactly right. Many doctors and midwives have reported women experiencing orgasm during natural birth. I first read about it in Robert Bradley's Husband Coached Childbirth.
Problem with epidural is that it numbs the woman and even if she is fortunate enough to experience this ecstasy during the birth of her child, she won't feel it. Episiotomy also can interfere with the birth climax.
And you are also right that the birth orgasm helps the child to be born. Thanks for sharing.
For the gals who talked about freebirth being all about the mother.
Does anyone here honestly believe that a mother who starts asking her doctor how many drugs she can have during labor soon after her first contraction has her childs best interest at heart?
Doesn't that qualify her as a selfish person, only concerned about her "experience"?
And highthief, I wish you well with your web site.
You are going to have some stiff competition from the freebirthers though. Unassisted Childbirth.com gets 70,000 unique visitors a month, with hundreds of thousands of hits. And with all of the recent media attention, Washington Post article comes out this month, reuters blasted all over the world last month, and Eve magazine in the UK comes out this month, I predict those numbers to double very quickly.
My own sites get pretty good traffic, and because of the way the internet works, those numbers grow exponentially every time a momma shares the good news with her email list. The most gratifying fact of my traffic is the thousands of people who use the "send to a friend" function on both my web site and blog. I feel so much joy thinking of the shifts that are occuring in the minds of parents all over the world as they read this empowering and enlightening information, and then take the leap of faith and actually give birth alone.
But you go for it. It's obvious you have some real passion, you are an articulate spokesperson for the indefensible practice of allopathic birth, and really believe you have the "facts" on your side. You share those facts! And at the end of the year when your site has fizzled out from the five people who have visited it and the freebirth sites have 2 million unique visitors a month, and then 5 million, and so on and so on....just remember this little chat.
I would encourage you to save your time and money and do something productive with your life. You know, give birth to a child or mentor a teen, or raise a puppy, grow a garden, or sing in a choir. And let those gentle activities free your mind from the shackles of science and the tortured world of obstetrics.
Just a little bit of friendly advice!
And now, Adieu.....
