If so, what type of music "worked" for you then? I want to create a couple different L&D playlists but just wondering what others found relaxing/annoying/whatever while in labor.
My DH downloaded some meditations for me to listen to during labor... some were pregnancy based, others were just relaxing meditations with nice music and soothing voices - helped me focus on things other than pain, etc. It helped.
i didn't listen to it when i was in active labor- just during the day waiting to push.
Well, having to have a c-section sort of ruined our music plans, but when I was planning for a natural birth I had a whole playlist, mostly of that very soothing instrumental type stuff you hear at a spa...rain sounds or harp music, that kind of thing.
I had an emergency C section but there was music on in the operating room--I delivered my babies to Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie...I'm serious! Everytime I hear that song now I swear my uterus contracts...HA HA
