Need a Positive Birthing Boost? Sing Out!
One of my favorite YouTube homebirth videos features a laboring woman singing. You can see on her face when she’s having contractions and it’s beautifully clear that her song is helping her work through the tension.
I find this video wonderfully calming. It’s an affirmation in itself. The birth process can be full of faith, trust in oneself and one’s body, and calm.
The information age has made searching out resources for birth planning easier than ever. If you’re planning a homebirth, assisted or unassisted, take the time to watch videos and read blogs about births that inspire you.
Happy pushing!
I'm 5 months pregnant with my first child. And, quite frankly, terrified by the whole birth prospect. I'm glad singing helped this woman, personally I imagine I'll be going for the swearing route, it has been proven to lessen pain as long as you don't swear a lot normally.
