Every minute I contracted felt unbearably long and I was only getting a minute or so break in between each one. I really felt at this point I was so close to asking for the epidural which is not what I wanted (There absolutely nothing wrong with asking for an epidural btw, it just wasn’t in my personal plan, and I really wanted to try to birth without it so I wasn’t delivering lying on my back).

So does it make sense for us to build a pregnancy village and what would this look like? We wouldn’t expect a new mother to do everything alone yet we are comfortable for women to literally share their body with an entire person (or maybe two or three in the case of multiples) and experience all the challenges this brings without offering support.
