This paper explores childbirth through an innovative lens, comparing it to how fungal networks operate—through connection and interdependence rather than isolation. Using real birth stories, the authors show how supportive, trusting care environments allow mothers to surrender to the birthing process, whereas medical systems focused on control and isolation can be traumatic. The paper argues that positive birth experiences happen when pregnant people feel safe, supported, and connected to their care providers, communities, and their own bodies.
