“In personal life, the warm glow of nostalgia amplifies good memories and minimizes bad ones about experiences and relationships, encouraging us to revisit and renew our ties with friends and family. It always involves a little harmless self-deception, like forgetting the pain of childbirth.”

“Feminism insists on women's right to make choices - about whether to marry, whether to have children, whether to combine work and family or to focus on one over the other. It also urges men and women to share the joys and burdens of family life and calls on society to place a higher priority on supporting caregiving work.”

“I wasn't scared of childbirth. I educated myself and did my fair share of research, and that made me feel a little more prepared.”

“Mimicking childbirth on 'Grey's' has taken the mystery out of it.”

“I like trying to get pregnant, I'm not so sure about childbirth.”
