Seems like your birthin' brain (IYKWIM) likes symbolism. I found music really evocative. I made up a collection of songs that has special significance for us. You get to a stage in labour when you just tune it out (along with nearly everything else!) but until then it really set the mood for me and when our babe was born, it was still playing because no one had had a chance to turn it off or change it ... so she was born to "Listening to Rain Music" (which is what we called our compliation of personal favourites) ... the same music she was conceived to ... he he
Another time my kind friend had this lovely serene elevator music playing for me .... haaaated it, that got turned off pretty smartly. I wanted something a bit more intense and interesting!
