Step into the shadows of medieval Europe and experience one of history’s most dangerous and overlooked realities: childbirth. In this immersive, second-person narrative, you’ll live through the fear, superstition, agony, and silence that surrounded pregnancy and labor in the Middle Ages. There are no doctors. No pain relief. Just old cloth, whispered prayers, and a steady march toward an uncertain end.
Told from your perspective as an expectant mother, this slow-paced, emotionally raw story is part historical education, part nightmare, and all too real. Whether you live or die isn’t guaranteed — because in medieval Europe, giving birth was often the final chapter.
This isn’t a story about miracles. It’s about survival. Maybe.
