Making noise DS's labour was a beautiful slow progression where water was fabulous. DD was 4 ish hours and 2.5 hours from 2cm to out. I had only reached the vocalising part of the JuJu book and found it really did help. The more painful the contraction, the louder the noise!!!!! She was posterior and it was so intense I couldn't even get to the shower to use water to help

But noise - it worked. Yelling out the pain
