Ep 40: Baby Sleep Dumpster Fire and Thoughts on ”Natural” Childbirth
This week Jenna provides a brief update on how life has been with a now 8 month old bubba, including some sleep challenges, teething, and the joys of watching him grow! Then, inspired by Alex Artsy’s birth story from episode 39, Jenna explores how her thoughts about birth have changed, in light of her own birth experience and hearing the stories of others. Drawing from her own experience as well as the work of Elinor Cleghorn in her history of women and medicine, Unwell Women, Jenna explores how having the option of effective pain relief in labor was and still is a feminist issue, central to women’s ongoing struggle to assert their bodily autonomy and informed consent in interaction with the medical sphere.
If you are interested in Elinor Cleghorn’s book, Unwell Women, Jenna cannot recommend it enough.
