The mother still takes an active role in the birth.

The hospital has seen a 50 percent increase in births since 1995.

We see it, for example, in the birth of Jesus.

I'll feel like I'm involved in the birth no matter how my baby arrives.

But they have not produced the expected increase in births.

Few of these reach full term or result in live births.

Media interest in the forthcoming birth was just too much to bear.

It only happens to one in 2,000 to 2,500 live births.

A figure of about 1 in 65,000 live births has been reported for Australia.

These two lines of light energy can only unite in birth or death.
