[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there are frequently threads like the current one running about giving birth alone and how do people manage when there are no relatives nearby. The standard DCUM answer is you have to build your village. Yet right now there are also threads running about neighbors who don't want to have ANY interaction or people who refuse to chitchat at the bus stop. So how exactly are you supposed to build your network if neighbors don't want to engage and neither do parents of kids at your school or anyone else you frequently find yourself in proximity with? Asking for a friend...[/quote] Take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself why nobody wants to interact with you? We are friendly with a few neighbors but in a thousand years i would never want or ask them to attend my birth. what purpose would they have there? tell me to push, push? take photos? seriously? If you feel someone other than you needs to advocate for you - hire a doula. [/quote]
