Notes from the Delivery Room by Linda Pastan

The author of this poem is describing the effort that she is making to give birth. She implies that the process of giving birth should be like plants. They just have their crops without pain she explaining how painful it is to bring a life to this world. The pain that she feel was so deep that she even aware of where she was giving birth. Giving birth have ambiguous connotation in one hand you are bring to life a creature that was conceive by love. At the same time, the pain so horrible that does not have simile. Women have to make an extraordinary effort of labor to bring a child into this world. On the other hand, women that are medicated at the moment of labor do not experience the same pain level.
