Using our voice can be a helpful coping tool during birth.

Prior to birth many of us have rules about what it means to be quiet or loud, to scream, swear or yell during labor. We might believe it means we aren't coping, are out of control, or weak if we are considered 'loud' and 'losing it'.

Sometimes making lots of noise during labor is that one thing we might hope we don't have to do, the one forbidden thing. When being in control, quiet and composed is often glorified in birthing world, it can be helpful to explore our ideas and beliefs about pain, making noise, asking for help, what it is to be weak or strong prior to birth.

Another reason i love providing home birth and post partum visits ~ spring rains often bring babies better than full moons, so i get that sunlight after the rain drive down country roads ~
