Hi, my name is Brittany Rogers, I'm a poet, editor, and educator, and today I'm going to be reading for you my poem, In Response to Baby Girl Asking Me If It Hurts to Give Birth." I wrote this poem when I was a very new mother and I was doing a lot of meditating on the types of pain that are acceptable or unacceptable to talk about and thinking very much about the secrecy surrounding motherhood and how much of it is expected, um, to be this sacrificial secretive thing
