• Natural birth 'may aid baby bond'
  Mothers who give birth naturally are more responsive to the cry of their baby than those who choose to have a Caesarean, American research suggests.
  Brain scans on 12 new mothers soon after birth found more activity in areas linked to motivation and emotions in those who had a vaginal delivery.
  The contractions which are an essential part of a natural birth trigger the release of the hormone oxytocin, which is thought to play a key role in shaping maternal behaviour.

I still feel it a triumph if injustice makes me angry rather than cry. I think years of being taught that anger is unacceptable at any time have finally faded. That said, I liked the comment on how to relax and let go at the time, as long as we do deal with the underlying cause.

Or alternatively, we could go out and destroy New York.

Interesting links as always! I do enjoy them.
