“You are assisting at someone else’s birth. Do good without show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to be happening. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet still free and in charge. When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say, ‘We did it ourselves!’”

~Lao Tzu, father of Chinese Taoism, from Tao Te Ching: The Way of All Life, written in the sixth century B.C.E.

Chapter 19: Doula as Gatekeeper

Midwife: “I would like to check to see if you have dilated.”

Vietnamese interpreter: “Tôi muốn xem tử cung bạn đã giãn chưa.”

Midwife: “Is that okay?”

Interpreter: “Có được không?”
