They want me to go to the village for the birth

I’m 7 months pregnant and my husband insists

You’re 7 months pregnant now, you have about 2 months until the birth. How long will it take to get to the village by ambulance from the city? It doesn’t make any sense to me that your husband is putting you at such a risk just because he says ‘you’ll be comfortable.’ Will that comfort be enough for the birth?

Is it a bad thing for everyone in the village to care? It seems like your spouse wanted to send you somewhere you would be better looked after; I didn’t read any bad intentions into that. Why are you so tense about it? They’re your family after all :sweat_smile:

@gelenekci I don’t know if there has been a birth like this in the village before; I asked my mom and she said, ‘I’m not sure.’ Honestly, how can I be at ease with so much uncertainty? :woman_shrugging:

@skeptik_hesapci you’ve really killed the romance, haven’t you? How do you think women giving birth in the village do it? Not everyone was giving birth in a hospital until now.

As a birth coach, let me tell you that when making such a decision, you should focus on two things: first, how quickly medical support can arrive when emergency intervention is needed; second, where is the environment that will psychologically comfort you. Whether this is a hospital or a village depends on the person’s mood, but it is essential to consider medical risks.

@atismaci stop romanticizing village life. Most women used to die during childbirth, yet you speak as if everything was perfect.

Your spouse said “you’ll be comfortable,” but I’d be surprised if no one there says, “well, go ahead and give birth comfortably.”
