think why do women scream and shout in labour

[AuntiePickleBottom]

is there any real need.

I screamed and shouted so much the midwives practically force fed me drugs to shut me up! So what?

This is fucking joke isn't it?

Have you been watching OBEM, OP?

People have different pain thresholds - what feels like Mount Etna erupting from their fanjo to one woman might feel like having a big poo to the next.

Congrats OP...
What is the point of your questions, exactly?

rofl @ only gas an air and labour dozing.

i might sleep through your thread if that's okay...

So stop judging!

go shag a sheep and see if that makes yous cream

I felt like I was shitting a portable television

So yep. There's a need for vocal accompaniment

I didn't because I'm not much of a shouter in any scenario [weirdo] but good god, childbirth is surely the one time you can scream and shout or swing from a feckin chandelier* if it's what you want to do.

*probably not an ideal birth position tbh

medal must of been lost in the post

YABVVVVU.

'I did it whilst humming and smiling and it hardly hurt at all'

You don't end up with a better baby if you give birth without screaming .

It is more painful for some women than for others, for a variety of reasons (size of baby, size of fanjo, position of baby, individual pain threshold etc). WTF has it got to do with you anyway?>

If we can put up with men Shouting at the TV when football is on (or is that just my DH?) then they can put up with a few hours of screaming...

Most of my first labour didn't hurt at all really...mmmm maybe it was something to do with the pethidine, the epidural and breathing enough gas and air that my head was swimming.

ps

If your bottom is pickled it isn't going to hurt as much is it?

`Yes, try crapping out a filing cabinet and not scream !!

Oh, i suppose it might smart a little.....

F**k off.

Is that the MN Smuggery medal bees?
AuntiePickleBottom, what on earth did you hope to achieve with your post other than pissing off a lot of people?
I had two easy and quick labours, no yelling but some serious grunting, both mine slept all night from 4 weeks, never got ill etc etc.
I've only felt bloody grateful for all of it, and lucky.
If some people need to scream to help them get through stuff, they are perfectly entitled to.
Now if you'd said
'Why do some women scream and shout during sex, is their any real need?' I might have agreed with you.

It hurt so bloody much I couldn't make a sound. I was totally silent. Which is not so handy when you need to tell the midwives something, or they ask you a question, and you can't speak.
