For my first labour i thought i would want relaxing "sounds of the forest" type music... but when the time came it actually annoyed me! Labour (well for me) was more like running a marathon... imagine struggling up a hill not knowing if you are going to get to the top and listening to relaxation music? For me the two don't go!

:rofl: aint that the truth.

I like the idea of ear pulgs - for some reason i never thought to put the playlists on my ipod (baby brain?!?) so i could tune out at my own volume.

Better get moving and organised or all i'm going to have is a list of songs before this baby arrives :D

well you guys prob havent ever heard of the bands i like lol but in labour i lsitened to Tool which is very spiritual about opening your third eye and stuff... i had a 3rd eye tattooed on my arm a few weeks after DD was born...and an ambient dance group called Aphex Twin.... very spiritual and cool...

I've thought about this, even tho I've never been pregnant.

At the end I would like 'Lucy in the sky with Diamonds', I know it's about drugs but my little girl is going to be a Lucy.

Maybe some Van Morrison, very bubbly and up beat and throw in some Black Eyed Peas to get things pumpin.

Hmmm, might get to the end and do a mix for the iPod.

People at work thinks I'm a freak for thinking about music, calmbirthing and breastfeeding. I've learnt to keep my mouth zipped.

Hope you mix a rockin birth tape MrsB :)

Thanks guys - all done and on the ipod and 2 x cds which i have been listening to in my car already. Got a good mix of feel good, chill out and pumped up tracks!
Got some Black eyed Peas in there too CharlieBrownGirl and even some Flo-Ryda to keep me happy :)

I'll have to think about this for this time around too. I never had music last time, and I dunno, even though I was at a birth centre, it sort of felt all clinical, and I felt a bit exposed (could of been cos it was in a really lit room and I never had a cave or anything to go into!!) I need a cave.. and if I can't get it.. chilling out to music seems good... but my list will probably be a LOT different than yours.. LOL

Hahaha, i really wanted to to push to Diana Ross- 'I'm coming out'... Didn't happen at either birth though unfortunately as music was the last thing on my mind at that stage!
