Jessica Smock and I are at Brain, Child Magazine this week offering two different perspectives on what constitutes a ‘good’ birth. Is a good birth simply a healthy delivery or is it something more?
Jessica writes: ‘I wanted a birth of connection, of agency, of informed decision-making, and that’s what control meant for me.’
Lauren writes: ‘I didn’t particularly think any of it was in my control. My fears were grounded almost entirely in the health of the baby: the exit strategy was a means to an end…’
What do you think?
