hello girls,

i would like to have some music playing while i am in labour and when i have baby but im not sure what music to have.

any ideas?

Perhaps something thats soothing but with words so you can distract yourself. Have you heard of Enya? My family loves her music, it's really nice and calming and soothing.

i think i would go opposite no words, i thinking nice soothing calm music, but someone singing would annoy me. good luck in deciding.

yeah, each person is different I guess. I am not entirely sure what I would want, but I think something so I could try and take my mind off the pain. Its seriously worth downloading an Enya song and giving it a listen, it may be exactly what your after.
I think I would probably want my country music in there so i can sing and dance, lol.

thank you.
ill have a look at Enya.
im planning on using the birthing pool at the hospital.
ive seen some CDS but they have only had about 8 or 9 tracks,and if im in labour for a long time i might get fed up with it playing over and over all the time.

I've got a few different cd's ready for labour...
Sacred Earth Drums
Tibetan Chants
Meditation Chants
Some of my own favourite 'quiet' music and some louder music.

It might be a good idea to have some singing songs because some women find singing helps labour along.

thank you.

in some gift type shops they have a selection of CDs like natural sounds and tranquil music with waves braking and all that if you know what i mean.
i might get a selection of those and some proper music music.
cheers x x

it really depends on what you like. I have been listening to the album "Trouble" by Ray LaMontagne, for months now and Bubba really like it, although we have different favorites. So I will be listening to that.

get a mp3 player and set it to random download a big mix of soothing and dancy singing stuff? thats what i did because that way you dont have to fiddle with cds, and its less space in your labour bag :-D

i had enya and air also the spirit of meditation

Enya
Some kind of natural/whale noises. Rain is usually nice, rainforests etc.
