How funny Phe, I was jumping on today to ask this exact same question! I didn't have music first time round, was watching telly after my epidural whilst waiting to see if my cervix would cooperate and dilate, then when i was ready to go the telly went off and DS got stuck, i had a very difficult time trying to get him out - i was fully focused on pushing (he was failed vacuum, forceps delivery in the end). I wouldn't even have heard the music

However I'm hoping it will be a smoother ride this time so hoping to incorporate music. I suppose it depends on how long your labour is too. My DH has heaps of music on his ipod so i think i'll just make sure he's got my favourite albums on there and get him to choose music for me as we go (and i can just scream and yell at him when its not 'right')

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the time comes...
