Yeah, but you may have surrounded that with the trappings of Theism -- sacrifies, ceremonies, and such. Think about Animism for a moment, typified by ecstatic worship -- dancing, drumming, intoxication, exhaustion, dehydration, etc. That sounds a lot closer to conception or childbirth to me. An eight or twenty hour labor surely puts a woman into a different plane of existence.
I'll refrain from making a parallel on conception for fear of impugning anyone's sex life. ;-)
