Poll: Singing through labor?

KellyMRocks

I've been reading a bit about "singing your baby out" or singing through your birth.

So, my question to you is:

If you were going to sing your baby into the world,what song would you sing and why?

Somewhere over the Rainbow, because dreams really can come true.

Uhhh I think something along the lines of your DHs band if any of the songs have a lot of the f-bomb in it?

Hahaha, Libby, you crack me up. I would suggest Laid to Rest by Lamb of God for a good F-bombin' metal song.

Well I can tell you what it wouldn't be! When I was wheeled into the OR at 3:00 a.m. after 3/12 hours of pushing "Love Shack" was playing on the radio, what a memory! I'd have to think about what it would be

Great question!

I think I'd pick "Evermore" by Alison Krauss.  The chorus:

"Evermore I will love you, evermore I will stay

ever right here beside you, never so far away,

And though I know sometimes you'll go to find your way alone...

Evermore I will love you, you are ever my own."

Thanks, Kel, now I'm crying!

I definitely wasn't singing through my labors, more screaming I would say, LOL.

Not sure what song I would sing but,  I just wanted to share this clip of a women singing through labor. It is beautiful!!!!

LOL on the Love Shack, L!

When Alex was born the anesthesiologist was bumping some Atlantic Starr

"I will love you so, for aaaaaaalways..."

Not a bad song to be born to!

I will second that motion.  LoG is on heavy rotation in DH's mix.  Never played when little impressionable ears are present though.

Love it, that is one of my favourite videos. Though if I was singing through labor it wouldn't be anywhere nearly as beautiful.

Mine would probably be a song that my Mom sings to Mason.

For You Blue - Beatles

"Because you're sweet and lovely girl, I love you

Because you're sweet and lovely girl, it's true

I love you more than ever girl, I do"

 

Of course for Mason we leave out the Girl.  I suppose we could change it to Boy, but we just leave it out.

With DD it would have been something with "Get the F-Out" in the chorus..

LOL, I guess if had delivered vaginally that would have been my first thought too.

Shortly after Riley was born I sang him the same lulaby I always sing

"there is an island way out in the sea, where the babies all grow on trees.." He still gets that song before bed each night.

everydayeve

Maybe "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks. It's one of my favorites to sing to Eve at night. Or perhaps I would start with "Sweet Baby James" and sing my way through the entire album. Or maybe a little Indigo Girls. Really, I love to sing so anything that would help to put me into a good mood would work.

This comment wins.

I would be singing "Ball and Chain" by Social Distortion especially the chorus.  LOL!

"Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away

Take away this ball and chain"

three little birds, by bob marley, was running through my head. but it stayed in there...i'm not a singer.

scrapmama2201

I had fast labors and ugly deliveries. I wish I were in a place where I could sing though not sure what I would have sung...

2bearichards

If I was singing, my kids would have probably crawled back in.

Aww, that made me cry! 

I'd sing something by Sparklehorse. Either Gold Day or Hundreds of Sparrows.

LOL! I can never listen to that song the same way again after experiencing it for myself.
