I too wish that women could feel as nurtured and empowered as I did with my last birth (water birth at a birth center). My heart aches that so many women don't know what they're missing!

The !Kung women in Namibia, the Pitjandjara tribe of Australia, and the Igbo tribe of Nigeria value solitary birth. :) I've had a slew of hospital births lately and since in those situations the room fills up with all sorts of personnel, there is no possibility of much alone time.

I figured we couldn't afford it, but I know now it would have been worth whatever it cost. My mom and husband looked like deer in the headlights during most of the birth!

Although I have friends that are doulas and would love to be one, too, I do not want one at my birth. To be honest, if I could choose so, I wouldn't even have hubby there! But I just have him sit quietly out of sight so it gives me the illusion that I am alone. Steph I often feel isolated in my feelings of wanting to be alone during birth.
