crowd-birthing 分娩围观

The younger generation are used to sharing every aspect of their lives, so why not birth? Many women feel it is their biggest achievement and so want to share the moment with all of those closest to them.

年轻一代习惯分享他们生活的方方面面，所以，生孩子自然也是可以分享的。很多女性认为这是她们最大的成就，因此希望同所有亲近的人分享这一时刻。

The crowd-birthing phenomenon may not suit everyone but being part of the birth is an honour and privilege which unites friends and family like nothing else.

分娩围观这件事也许并不适合每个人，但是作为见证分娩过程的一员是一种荣耀和特权，没有什么比这件事更能将朋友和家人凝聚在一起。

A survey of 2,000 mothers has found that those in their twenties or teens are taking an average of eight people into the birthing room with them – and that doesn’t include the midwife or other medical staff.
