In this column Henci Goer shares the stories of her two births and how those births shaped her life's work. With her first birth she believed that her caregivers knew better than she what was right for her. During the birth she was ignored. She was left feeling distressed and diminished. Her second birth was dramatically different. She was an active participant, listened to, respected and part of decision-making. She highlights that no matter how difficult the birth, whether things go as planned or not, the joy, the pride, the satisfaction with birth comes with being listened to, respected, and part of decision-making. This birth story is an excerpt from Henci Goer's recent publication, Labor Pain: What's Your Best Strategy? (2022).
在本专栏中，亨西·戈尔分享了她两次分娩的经历，以及这些分娩如何塑造了她一生的事业。第一次分娩时，她相信护理人员比她更清楚什么对她是正确的。分娩过程中，她被忽视了。她感到痛苦和失落。她的第二次分娩则截然不同。她是积极参与者，被倾听、被尊重并参与决策。她强调，无论分娩多么艰难，无论事情是否按计划进行，分娩带来的喜悦、自豪和满足都源于被倾听、被尊重并参与决策。这个分娩故事摘自亨西·戈尔最近出版的《分娩疼痛：你的最佳策略是什么？》（2022年）。
