Quote by Emilie Pine

“I like that I have ten things on the go, all at once. I like that I'm always planning for the next thing. I like that I bring a high energy to my life, that I see it as a challenge. I like that my favourite thing to do on the flight home is to look at the airline route map to pick my next destination.”

“Hands speak more intimately than words," writes author Aundre Aciman. He's discussing the deaf here, specifically his mother, but I immediately think about healthcare, about perinatal care specifically. Touch is intimate. It can excite, comfort, heal. It should also be welcome. [...] Entry to a person's body should occur by invitation only, never amid confusion, never by coercion.”

“As a laboring person, it's hard to know whether the resident or nurse trainee is capable and caring or is following orders to do something to your body, to rush your labor because of hospital quotas and conventions, with or without your consent.”

“...when I became pregnant with my third kid, these seemingly small moments of nonconsent replayed in my mind—the obligatory pelvic exam, the needle in my arm, the bruise like rotten fruit, the lithotomy position someone put me in both times. Sure, both births were beautiful, vaginal, natural—tick, tick, tick on the boxes of imaginary birth "success." But these were the moments I couldn't shake, that wedged themselves in and made me angry, ill.”

“I believe that the story of Lowell is a story that has been hidden for a long time, and it’s a story that needs to be told because it’s a story of women who stood up and demanded that they be recognized as full human beings, as full citizens, as people who deserved to have a say in the society in which they lived.”

“Tracey Vogel, an anesthesiologist also trained as a rape crisis counselor, told me that trauma-informed care, crucially, shifts power. "It takes us from 'I am your doctor, and this is what I'm going to be doing to you' to 'I want to know what you might need from me,'" she explained.”

“Globally, most women have babies, and it seems that a high percentage of them are still suffering postpartum injuries long after their births. Urine leakage starts with the pelvic floor. One doctor told me that families commonly give up on caring for their aging loved ones when they lose bladder control. Kids don't want to change their parents' diapers. Urinary incontinence is a leading cause of nursing home admissions for women. This means that whether or not you can live your final days independently may come down to what's unresolved from giving birth, in a part of your body you don't really understand or might not even know is there. The healthcare system isn't just failing postpartum women. It's failing women of all ages for their entire lives.”

“The Industrial Revolution brought forth a transformation in the lives of women, as they moved from the domestic sphere to the factories, facing long hours of toil and challenging conditions. This shift not only altered their economic roles but also laid the groundwork for the questioning of established gender norms.”
