A poem for MamaBear?

I must confess to reading a bunch of hippy blogs about unmedicated childbirth. Most of the time, I find inspiring stories about how women worked through their birthing experience with grace (and often a hefty dose of HypnoBabies).

One of today's posts was just too granola for me. I know it's wrong to laugh at another's expense. I know I'm teaching my daughter all kinds of bad lessons here. But I just can't help it when I come across stuff like this:

Shaking your head you moaned down low
hips thrust out, knees all bent
Mama Bear's rockin', poundin'
Heavy and Full.

Swayin' your belly, you danced that baby down
A bear mama, fierce, and loud.

You BIRTHED that baby, mama bear.

If you are so inclined, you can read the full poem here. I can assure you that I won't be writing poetry once BabyBear hits the scene.
