Singing During the Birthing Process

Singing is a fantastic thing to do during pregnancy and the birthing process. It releases endorphins, to reduce pain; it oxygenates the blood; stimulates the system; calms mother and baby; focuses the mind away from pain - and lovingly on the baby; and the belly breathing can ease and speed the birth process! Singing should be taught as an integral part of every birth, without fear of negative judgement. A mother's voice is perfection to the child she is carrying, even if SHE doesn't think she has a good voice. Totally therapeutic for mother AND child!
