Emily Spencer - Pain, Perception, and Childbirth: Can a Woman be Believed?

Emily Spencer - Pain, Perception, and Childbirth: Can a Woman be Believed?

Emily Spencer, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In her blog, Emily explores the often-dismissive attitudes towards women's pain during childbirth, highlighting her own experience of being repeatedly told she wasn’t in labour despite severe contractions. Emily draws a powerful parallel between this dismissal and the experiences of people with dementia, who are often not believed or understood due to communication barriers and assumptions about their cognitive state. Through her story, she sheds light on the broader issue of medical misogyny and the importance of listening to and validating all patients' experiences.
