When I became pregnant, I made special effort to select a midwife who was spiritually inclined. I found Julie, a woman with common sense and the strength to use calm wisdom. Julie delivered both our daughters.

The first daughter came out so quick that the nurse was not on site to help Julie. However, Julie confidently did her job. Although we had different religious backgrounds, Julie and I trusted God to deliver. She teased me later by thanking me for having our daughter early because she was able then to go to church.

Three years later, Julie helped with the delivery of our second daughter. During the birth a methodical nurse came in to give me a shot and whatever else was on her mind for a routine birth. Julie calmly told her that all was going well and I didn’t need or want unnecessary chemicals injected in me. While heaving and breathing, I was appreciative of Julie’s respect and standing up for me.  We both were thankful for every little step signifying a natural and comfortable birth.

From21^st Century Science and Health, “It is right to say that the educated class of scientists and medical doctors are great people. They are more scientific than are false claimants to Christian Science. There is much that yet remains to be said and done before all humankind is saved and all the mental microbes of sin and disease thought-germs are exterminated.”
