Music for labour - any suggestions?

[LAbaby]

I've got two weeks to go and just started packing my hospital bag. The hospital have said I can bring a CD player and CDs, but I have no idea what kind of music i'll want to listen to during labour.
Any suggestions for good albums that I can stick on and leave on - I won't want to be swapping CDs when I'm in labour!
I'd like relaxing stuff for early labour and maybe more energetic stuff as well? Any ideas? Thanks

None:- any noise irritated the crap of out me when i was in labor Good luck

If you take the cd player you won't use it. If you don't you'll wish you had. Mostly whatever you plan will be different. I think the radio might have been on during labour. I can't remember! Know I wasn't bothered either way. Would recommend some Capri sun drinks in the bag though. They were a godsend for me.

I packed Enya and chill out music - the CD player never even made it out of the bag! DP did suggest putting some music on, but my colourful response cant be repeated on here....!

Music is relaxing in early labour, I would imagine, but my labours were very quick and chosing what music to have on in the background was the last thing on my mind when it was all systems go.

Best of luck to you and let us know if you managed to get any music on x

Classic:
Faure's requiem.
Carl Nielsen's "The dream" although that's only a short piece.
I'm sure classic fm do a soothing classics cd.

Pop
Lighthouse family always soothes me when I have PMT.
Indigo girls.

I actually find several radio 4 voices very soothing. Eddie Mair, Jennifer..., Kate Adie.

Salt n Pepper Push it.

I laboured to The Best of The Smiths and Popular Opera. DS popped out to the same music I had walked down the aisle to 53 weeks before

Musique: "Push, push, in the bush"

I'm with fatbottomgirl. I sorted out my music and then when it came to actually being in labour I didn't want anything distracting me....

Ray Charles 'I don't need no doctor'

Loves Hurts

Burning ring of fire Johnny Cash.
