Music during Birth

I'm hoping to have a mix of boppy, thrashy, relaxation type stuff. Must pull my finger out and make these...as I'm tone deaf, I think having my iPod earbuds in and singing really loudly in the birthing suites may be totally unappreciated...but then, could provide entertainment for other labouring mums!

honestly, it would not have mattered if anything was or was not blaring. could have been sepultura or mozart for all i would have cared at the time!!!!

PMSL mrsr... I was thinking the other way round - singing with earphones in will block out the sound of the other labouring mums

Hahaha, i have to say that I put in a whole bunch of 'relaxation' CD's and other CD's (old favourites) but didn't listen to any of them and for the life of me, I don't know how anyone can.

I did get to the hospital fully dialated though and went straight into pushing so maybe that's the difference. Honestly, there's not much in the way of spare concentration for background music.

I swear that I'll be doing the bus stop in the birthing suite at LEAST once - have that on cd thankfully.

I brought some relaxation music along with me. We put it on, but then I went into the shower and couldnt even hear it so I didnt even remember it was on. lol!
