I’m due October 11th. I’m more demanding with my doctor’s this time around regarding the birth bc I did not get what I wanted when I could have with my first. Of course, whatever needs to happen will happen, but assuming I’ll have a normal delivery, I want certain things. I also want a labor playlist!! I have a few ideas, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be in labor longer than four songs lol. I am not religious help a mama out please so I can grow my list and get it ready in advance. Thank you!

I want to break free? Lol
Honestly made several. One that had soothing songs, one that was favorite songs, one that was Alanis Morrisette (for when I hated my husband), one that was “ladies rule”. You never know which you will be in the mood for.

Y’all realize she doesn’t have to “demand” anything from doctors.
If she wants to have music playing, she can and they won’t stop her.
If she wants to have guests, she can.
If she wants to play board games, she can.
If she wants to play with her hair and makeup, she can.
Pretty much the only thing she cannot do is eat or drink and it’s for good reason.
Some of y’all get judgy asf. It’s a simple question, if you don’t have an answer, ignore it. You don’t need to tell her that her wants and needs aren’t as important as having a healthy baby.

Bon iver, very very peaceful band. Songs from them I recommend are wash, pdlif, michicant, holocene
I love that you have so many plans! I did too with my first pregnancy but I was in too much upset to even deal with it! Your positivity is inspiring!
I’d have to say, Can’t Stop Me Now by Queen!
When I would play reggae music my son would move a lot. Maybe try listening to music that your baby moves around too. Maybe it will help them come out faster? Lol

I listened to Elton John during my c section with my last. He’s my fave so it greatly relaxed me and calmed my nerves.
Johannes Brahms, Chopin, Rossini. Classical music to help you relax!
And I want a bed of street tacos next to me but that’s not happening

This Woman’s Work by Katie Bush. Played on its always sunny when Dee is rolled out with baby and it’s beautiful.
I know I’m gonna get flack for this but, Sade is great! upbeat, happy, loving. “Your love is king” is one of my favorites. Really depends on what kind of music you like and what kind of experience you want. Maybe try a Pandora station of someone you like and see what else comes up? try a “relaxed” playlist or “upbeat” or “happy” or whatever mood you’re going for?
I did showtunes and Disney

I didn’t play music, but for the last half of my labor I had under pressure by queen and David bowie stuck in my head.
I watched tv when I was in labor
My daughter was born to tambourine man…i didnt hear any of the song but my husband tells me he and the doctor and nurse were singing
How about a hypnobirthing album? Works well for me everytime! Due my fourth in a few weeks
I absolutely made a playlist out of all of my favorite songs. I am ridiculously attached to 80s hair metal 
I know I know but whatever is speaks to my soul! I actually tried to ride through contractions listening to the guitar solos!!! Weird I know but everyone has their thing right! Guns N Roses November Rain is an amazing song or patience.

I did relaxing forest and rain sounds and some country songs I liked. But soon as contractions really took hold both times I lost interest in the music quickly.

So I had my first born in water. I had made a playlist of my favorite songs, calm soothing songs. I never did any breathing exercises, I sang my way through contractions. It was more distracting and people around me even sang along with me to encourage me. My recommendation pick songs that mean something to you. You will be remembering that moment every time you hear it and tell that story to your baby

I had music playing for my 1st of 3 labors, I ended up telling them to turn it off cuz it annoyed me during my contractions, also yelled at everyone to shut up while I was having a contraction lol

I totally blocked out any music playing or anything going on around me with me 2nd labor once i was in active labor. But my fiance played native american flute music on the car on the way to the birth center which was nice to here while impatiently restless in the car going through contractions!
I had an album that was just released from a favorite artist… it is a reggae vibe. I also listened to a pain management progressive relaxation track which I had been practicing for quite some time with. VERY effective.

I had Oceans Eleven on when labor started. I don’t remember any of it.
I didn’t have the choice, but the songs playing during my 1st C-Section were don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me, play that funky music white boy and another one bites the dust.
. Not my choice, but always brings a chuckle when I tell people.

I had a playlist. The doctor and midwife danced with me during a 24 hour labour so it was a great idea! I had 15 songs (a couple were religious)

I feel like the last thing you’ll be thinking about during labor is music lol but if you do end up still wanting music I’m mostly into old music like jessie’s girl, all summer long, summer of 69, Stacey’s mom, pumped up kicks, have you ever seen the rain, cheater cheater, when the lights went out in georgia (reba macentire version), bye miss american pie, crazy train

If you’re putting a lot of emphasis on this music, you’re going to want what you like. I just watched tv and counted down the minutes until the baby got out. Lol
My son was born to Michael Jackson’s, “I’m Bad”. My docs playlist though. Lol
I was the same way…more in control of the environment around me and then frist time. I was 18 and didnt know what the hell was going on the frist time, 27 the second
Do you really care what we want to listen to?? Do what you want and does it really matter…
During my first labour I played Little Wayne, 50 Cent and Kanye. When I had to have a c-section the nurse put on Don’t worry be happy.

My husband and I got separated when i found out he was having an affair with another woman, when i confronted him, we had argument and he broke up with me, i tried all i could to get him back but all to no avail. I cried all day and helpless looking up to God to help me with the problem in my marriage. All I need is my marriage to be restored back, we’ve been together for years and he has done nothing but cheated and lied to me. but I know it’s something that can be fixed I still love him the same way when I first met him. However I decided to seek help from Priest Andrew, he reunited my marriage back together as it was in the beginning. now my marriage is perfectly fine and I know there are lot of people out there who have different kind of problem in home, marriages and relationships. Here is Priest Andrew email: priestandrewcureservice123@gmail. Com

Find something tribal for sure. The rhythm is powerful and can be extremely calming
I’d just play whatever makes u feel relaxed. Good luck x
I sang happy birthday to you when I was in the most pain, ( in my head not out loud)it was the most possitive song I could think of.
