I imagine Eve just as described - child birth had to be easy for her.... there were no hospitals in the day, so she had to have the physical constitution to get it done without assistance. And this, many times over.
Here is the quote:
Vision of Adam and Eve with
Oliver Cowdery and Zebedee Coltrin
Notes of Zebedee Coltrin's Words
Once after returning from a mission, he [Zebedee Coltrin] met Brother Joseph in Kirtland, who asked him if he did not wish to go with him to a conference at New Portage. The party consisted of Presidents Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Oliver Cowdery and myself [Zebedee Coltrin]. Next morning at New Portage, he noticed that Joseph seemed to have a far off look in his eyes, or was looking at a distance and presently he, Joseph, stepped between Brothers Cowdery and Coltrin and taking them by the arm, said, "Let's take a walk." They went to a place where there was some beautiful grass and grapevines and swamp beech interlaced. President Joseph Smith then said, "Let us pray." They all three prayed in turn—Joseph, Oliver, and Zebedee. Brother Joseph then said, "Now brethren, we will see some visions." Joseph lay down on the ground on his back and stretched out his arms and the two brethren lay on them. The heavens gradually opened, and they saw a golden throne, on a circular foundation, something like a light house, and on the throne were two aged personages, having white hair, and clothed in white garments. They were the two most beautiful and perfect specimens of mankind he ever saw. Joseph said, "They are our first parents, Adam and Eve." Adam was a large, broad-shouldered man, and Eve as a woman, was large in proportion.

IRAQ FYI just for you unless you deem worthy to post being as I haven't read it yet. I just found this. It's someone's Second Comforter witness experience. Says they were obligated to post it for two years and that will be up Nov 15, 2015 and then all traces of it will be removed so they can get back to a "normal" life. Here it is for your time and consideration. I've only BARELY started reading it but thought it would be something you may be interested in brother. God bless and have a good day.

I found it by happenstance on some blog spot I've never seen before and haven't fully checked out either. http://ljnsvoice.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2015-01-01T00:00:00-07:00&updated-max=2016-01-01T00:00:00-07:00&max-results=39
P.S. to the above comment I posted. I read the entire "testimony". This brother is associated with Denver Snuffer, which I did not know and the website I found the article on contains "pro" Denver Snuffer stuff.
DeleteI advise all to proceed with the Spirit and form your own opinion because brother Denver Snuffer has been ex-communicated which is a tragedy indeed!
