Hi, I am currently working on a story and my character is going topics birth in a flashback chapter. The character gave birth aged only sixteen years old, in the nineteen forties in a small house in Dobročsky Forest- Slovakia. The babies father died only days before in her arms and I know she will be in a state of panic when she is in labour.
Unfortunately her baby is stillborn, totally destroying her will to carry on the life she had pre-baby.
However that is simply some background, I am looking for any tips mums can give me on writing a realistic birth scene that is dramatic enough for the situation but isn't overly dramatic and unrealistic.
Thank you for any advice you can give,
