A summary of the twelve gifts of birth.

I saw this at the library and it was far too interesting to pass up. I was going to find a way to post this as a question but there were 12 so what this will be is listing the books 12 gifts of birth and brief sentence or so on each gift, with me making assumptions as to what the author thought. But I am curious as to your interpretation and your thoughts about the existence of this book

1. Strength

I assume it might have to do with the physical power in birth but probably more so the courage to get to the choice of keeping the child but even then motherhood is a big challenge and carries responsibilities of its own.

3. Courage
