“The task of the cervix is to stay closed, to make an impenetrable wall protecting the fetus, for approximately forty weeks of a pregnancy. After that, by means of labor, the wall must somehow become an opening. This happens through dilation, which is not a shattering, but an extreme thinning.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“This sounded good 鈥� I like physical experiences that involve surrender. I didn鈥檛 know, however, very much about experiences that demand surrender 鈥� that run over you like a truck, with no safe word to stop it. I was ready to scream, but labor turned out to be the quietest experience of my life.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts
