I got to see some baby birds today and then I had another insight. It was about a woman giving birth (probably Beatrice) but there was an aspect to it I had not realized. She was very frustrated she couldn't take care of her own child. She had to give birth to a body that was not living, and she was overwhelmed with that process, and she wanted to take care of her living child, the one she had bonded with, but she was separated from him.
It's really surprising there are not more stories about the complexities of childbirth.
I'm glad Call the Midwife exists.
