In this metaphor if there were a past life it would not be lost near birth but near conception. The fact is that birth is a crisis transition to much greater liberty, and evidence shows that death is too. Therefore the screaming or its lack relates to how well the parents have provided for the transition, and spiritually the same is true of death.
The water-birth at Home that I so much wanted for my daughter, I was also this denied. --- And yet, my daughter did Not scream, & I demanded she be given to me Immediately... & she was Calm.
Water-birthed babies don't scream.
