Silent Birth and Mental Experience

It may be beneficial for a human to experience a silent birth. Birth is supposed to be one of the most traumatic experiences. Commotion surrounding birth could only make it moreso. Soothingness during birth might make it more pleasant, though. Gentle classical music playing might improve the experience.

A human body begins experiencing things, although cognition, analysis, and reflection obviously come later, from a period before birth, as has been shown by certain horrific things. A silent birth might be one of a baby's first empathic experiences.

Since the baby is so young, these thoughts are some of the foundation of their experience. The way they are birthed may affect their mental and social development for their whole lives.
