Mother Quote by Roanna Rosewood
““There are two rules to follow in the presence of a laboring woman. The first is: Don’t talk, move, think or breathe when she is in the middle of a surge. In all fairness, Ben does not know I’m having a “real” surge this time. But rule two is that you must know everything going on with the woman without being told.””
