“…Natalie Jolly contends, “a central feature of a woman's life is her dampening of her own expertise over her bodily experiences and prioritizing an outside appraisal of her embodiment,” and “being treated merely as a body parallels the material reality of women's daily life and the social practices that constitute womanhood” (Jolly 2018, 36). My point is, BIPOC folx are rendered as an “epistemically disadvantaged identity” (Tuana 2004).…”

How do we BIPOC folx survive amid cavernous terror and soul-ripping trauma? In this heart-centered literary story, I embark on a mystical, womanist narration—autohistoria-teoría—to provide the broken-hearted a pathway to better conceptualize and practice irreparable grief. From the incomprehensible pain of walking through the loss of three of my children as a WoC in the American nation-state, I serve as a mirror to BIPOC folx who sit in loss of any kind, and I demonstrate how to piece back together the wandering fragments of our Soul from shattering grief. In this work, I respond to the paucity of BIPOC-centered (un)birth trauma research by raising the volume on BIPOC reproductive trauma. I urgently step away from the multilayered inadequacies and insufficiencies of “western” psychotherapeutic models of trauma healing that are violent to us BIPOC folx and serve to pathologize our grief, and I dedicate myself to excavating critical Indigenous epistemology. I accomplish this with a deliberate and intentional blend of the personal, spiritual, and the scholarly to uncover the ways in which our narratives as BIPOC folx are often erased within material experiences.

“…Women come of age within a society that erodes body confidence in myriad ways. Body image issues couple with shame about menstruation, sex, and sexuality to create adversarial body relationships 12 that can undermine body confidence and can destabilize a woman's sense of authority over her body. Interwoven is a legacy of medicine seeing female‐identified bodies as dirty, faulty, and/or merely as a mechanistic set of parts 13 .…”

“…The high anxiety level may increase epinephrine release and thwart labor progression, increase muscle tone, and hamper the expulsion period 4 . Fear of childbirth, in some settings, can be part of a social construct 5 ; it may be due to a negative labor experience 6 or low self-efficacy 7 , and can be associated with depression and anxiety during pregnancy 8 . Self-efficacy has been described as a cognitive process in which people develop abilities to cope with a certain situation 9 .…”

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate a short educational intervention that focused on labor pain (through visual analogue scale, VAS), postpartum anxiety, and birthing experience before and during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS This was a quasi-experimental study conducted between November 2019 and May 2021 in Brazil in 100 women with a high-risk pregnancy in the third trimester of pregnancy with an intervention group with in-person or virtual sessions (during the COVID-19 pandemic) and a non-intervention group. The antenatal intervention included breathing and relaxation techniques, upright positions, and information about labor. For evaluation, an antenatal questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and a postpartum questionnaire were used. For data analysis, Student's t-test, chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests, ANOVA, bivariate, and multivariate regression analysis, were used. RESULTS When comparing the women in the intervention group to the non-intervention group, it was observed that the latter group reported higher fear of pain at labor during antenatal consultations (p<0.013); more women needed analgesia at 0–4 cm dilation (17/40) (p<0.018); the duration of labor was ≥12 hours (37/50) (p<0.037); while the intervention reported having a regular, good or excellent labor period (36/50) (p=0.014). The multiple regression analysis for labor pain showed a significant relationship between mode of delivery (cesarean delivery: RR; SE -21.43; 5.32, p<0.001) and labor pain, and good satisfaction with labor (RR; SE -13.86; 6.40, p=0.033). CONCLUSIONS Women from the intervention group had more satisfaction and less pain during labor than women from the non-intervention group.
