Midwife Agnese Lemeševska: labor pain is the only "good" pain in the world

Midwife Agnese Lemeševska has spoken about her experience and beliefs regarding childbirth, pain, and the natural birthing process. In her view, labor pain is the only kind of pain in the world that carries a positive, deeper meaning - unlike any other pain a person might experience.

Experience from both sides

Lemeševska knows the subject not only professionally but personally - she works as a midwife and is also a mother of five children herself. Her oldest child is now 28, while her youngest is 6, meaning her own childbirth experience spans more than two decades. This combination of professional practice, assisting other women through labor, and personal experience giving birth herself, shapes the views she shares.

A personal, not universal, view

In the conversation, the midwife acknowledges that her statements can sometimes come across as harsh and direct. However, she stresses that what she shares reflects only her own experience and perspective, adding that colleagues in the midwifery profession may hold different views on these matters. With this caveat, she opens up a broader discussion about both the harsh and the spiritual sides of childbirth.
