Just a little rant

So I come across this website for pregnancy massage and Doula care in my area. The way they described their services... "We help to relieve the traumatic physical effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum regrouping." Why in the world would a Doula put the word traumatic in front of pregnancy and birth???? It is only solidifying our society's belief that pregnancy and birth are to be feared! I realize that there are women that have traumatic experiences but what about the women who don't? Why are we not to be helped by pregnancy and postpartum massage? ugh! Well I can honestly say I won't be signing up for her massage. I definitely do not want someone with that view on preg and birth to be touching me before I have my baby!!!!!!!
