You are a midwife, 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!"
