hehehe we don't watch you scream. A doula will evaluate the situation and if you are screaming because you feel out of control or scared, she will help to get you back on track and to help you feel safe. But if you are making noise as part of an energy release, then she will let you go - letting go during labour is beneficial.There is generally a difference between labour noises and screaming, and helping a woman get back on track can make a big difference to her in labour. I'll see what I can find out about good courses in your area. One of my clients is actually going to the active birth centre at the moment, she's due in a month or so and will be moving back to Australia very soon - she will live a suburb away from me. Can't wait to meet her!
ps. I mean Janet Balaskas's (the founder of the Active Birth Movement) centre - she operates out of the UK.
