Be as silent or noisy as you'd like

Birth involves many sounds, and sometimes there’s no sound.

While some prefer no sound, it’s still perfectly normal to be loud. It can be uncontrollable at times to want to scream, and that’s okay. Usually when we produce higher pitch screams we are in a tense state, so it can be beneficial to make lower sounds that also help you refocus your breathing and release tension.

So make no noise, a little noise, or roar your baby out. That’s the beauty of birth.
