I remember singing during my labour with my second baby...i was so calm being alone in my bathtub, singing and rocking back and forth. Having nurses and doctors present while in a hospital enviroment doesn't make a woman want to start singing...and sometimes even having your husband or doula present can damper the freedom you would've had if you were completely alone. I encourage women to take time alone during their labours so they can have some time without feeling like they're being watched, its amazing what time alone can do to ease pain and anxiety.

Wow. that is really beautiful. I don't think I would have sounded quite like that if I had tried to sing while in labour!
