Music for birth

[Spatone]

I want to start collecting a birthing music playlist. Any suggestions?

I just had the radio on but between contractions distinctly remember dancing whilst still high on the gas and air!! I liked the dance/pop music whilst labouring and the slower songs during the pushing stage

I had my mumford and sons album on. I loved it at the time and now everytime I hear one of their songs it takes me right back.

I had Enya towards the end, most of the way through I left DP in charge of the ipod so he had something useful to do. The main thing I remember about the music is finding all of it really annoying so it kept him busy.

Black Box Recorder then David Bowie for DD's birth, ministry of sound callout album for DS

Argh, chillout

I'd go with the attitude of..after having 5 children...birthing music will not matter..all you will care about is getting that baby out of you !

I wouldn't bother - I had a mp3 player full of music and really did'nt listen to any of it.
Mind you was 9cm by the time we got to the hospital - did try to watch TV at home but really couldn't concentrate on it.
