The only пeɡаtіⱱe aspect of birth is that it is пeɡаtіⱱe. A 6 day labor was definitely not something that Irma anticipated when she was preparing for the birth of her first child.
But she continued to follow God’s instructions day after day. After days of powerful contractions that hadn’t yet advanced over 4 cm, she and her husband decided to transfer from a place of birth to ophthalmic care.
With an epidural, a pitocin, and пᴜmeгoᴜѕ positional changes as suggested by her birth tea, she made excellent progress and had her darling child the following month!
