Did you scream during labour?

[PSL1990]

I'm wondering how often women scream in labour - did you scream during labour?

No but someone else did when I was on the labour ward and it scared me to death!

I did with my third but she was back to back & rotated in my pelvis.

No - it’s more of a ‘mooing’ sound I would say def didn’t scream

I didn’t scream but I did make a lot of noise! And it really helped, and I didn’t give a shit. Screaming high pitches sounds mean your jaw is tight which, bizarrely, can make your vagina tight just at the moment when you really don’t want it to be.
Aim for a nice low moo.
I wish I was kidding, Childbirth is so glam.

CIT you got it, mine was a moo type thing

No, i can remember groaning during contractions and distinctly remember shouting "for fuck's sake" at one point, but I didn't scream. I'd had an epidural by the time it cane to pushing though.

I don't think I screamed. I shouted and mooed though, and I remember the midwife saying I was going to have a sore throat (least of my worries, frankly...)

I screamed out of frustration. But it must’ve sounded like I was being murdered!

Nope neither time went into myself concentrated on breathing techniques I'd learnt

No, I only had the energy to moo. She was back to back though, so warranted a scream or 2, but I just didn’t have it in me.

Yup mooing here as well. And maybe a "nguh" kind of noise. No screams.

I don't think I "screamed" but I definitely made a lot of noise.

Why do you ask?

Out of 3, I've screamed once

I wouldn't say scream but there was definitely some noises

Oh yes.
More with my second than my first. I had an epidural with my first but still screamed at the pushing stage more put of effort than pain.
My second was too fast for an epidural and it was the transition stage that made me scream... in fact I discarded the gas and air in order to be able to just scream and scream...
I didnt actually make any noise at the pushing or crowning stage with my second as I was filled with adrenaline and relief that it was nearing the end so didnt feel much. Nor did I really have to make much effort at that point my body just seemed to do it, so I was silent.

Yeah I would say I screamed.

Kind of guttural yelling- yeah... closer to a moo than a scream as lower pitched. Noisy I bet... at one point I did believe I was being tortured by an ISIS type cell so maybe I screamed a bit during that awful back to back labour with a very stuck nearly 11lb-er.

I asked DH and he said it was more of a hump back whale kind of lowing than a scream. Most amusing apparently

Nope

I didn't scream, but my partner said i sounded like a mixture of Chewbacca and a cow mooing.

Definitely more of a moo here too. Shocked me the first time I heard myself doing it.

Yes. I screamed very loudly

I did with my second but that's becuase she got into an odd position and get stuck. Had contraction pain and a secondary pain from that and it was just too much.

I did with my first whilst pushing I couldn't control it. She was so painful compared to my other two who I never made a sound with.

No. I was really quiet during labour but did then did cry out/shriek when the placenta was delivered.My midwife wasn't very communicative and it gave me a hell of a shock.
