Passenger by Deftones

passage, passenger, power, position, psyche, physical response, parity
- The pelvis shape
- The kid's size/it's own position in relation to the pelvis, it's reserves and ability to respond to the stress of labour/type of labour.
- How strong the contractions are
- the position of the baby in relation to the pelvis (some are much better than others, eg. LOA or LOL v. OP)
- The mother's own fears (psyche) maternal fear and tension causing norepinephrine may stimulate both the alpha and beta receptors of the myometrium, and interfere with the rhythmic nature of labour
- Physical response of the mother during labour and delivery (to the stress on the body)
- parity : how many times has she done this before (more = easier, supposedly).
The song Passenger by deftones can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. It was written with the lead of Tool- and he sings on the album also. It was a collaboration, and pretty successful if you ask me. Some people seem to think its a song about sex in cars. But Chino states that it's about being a passenger in a car, and loosing control, and enjoying that loss of control - as a passenger.
It makes me think of the baby as a passenger. Powerless, yet powerful in its ability influence it's own journey; and what can we do as midwives to influence the passenger (fluids, positioning of the mother etc.).
