Music in L&D Room??

LanaLoves

Who is planning on having some tunes play in the backround during your L&D??

If you are, what are some good ones to add?? I'm going in for my CSection this Friday so I thought I'd make my CD tomorrow and have it as an option.

I'm going to make a playlist for my iPod and bring my iHome docking station to the hospital with me.  I'm inlcuding things like Enya, Celtic Woman, classical music, some IZ and maybe some soft praise and worship music. 

I also have a Kenny Loggins lullabye album that I'm going to add to a playlist for LO for after delivery.

I still have too much on my to-do list....Thankfully I'm not due for another 3 weeks...

I haven't asked my hospital about this but...

do I need to bring a small player for my iphone then or do most rooms have something I can plug it into already?

Courtney some of the more "advanced" rooms have speakers/inputs, but your average hospital will not. I got a small iPod speaker doc and used it all during labor with my first pregnancy.

I had all classical (piano, clarinet, guitar) playing and many of the nurses noted how "relaxing" my room was...it totally made a difference for me.

I did have to keep my Mom from turning it down...for some reason she felt it was too loud sometimes, and I had to ban her from touching it!

I may be the odd one out, but I mostly plan on listening to stuff that I find upbeat and fun to keep me occupied.  Everything else to me is just background music.  I want to hear Bon Jovi and Journey and maybe a little boy band pop.  But that's just me...since I have Pandora if I need to switch to something more calming I can always adjust.

I'm doing upbeat too!!  I'm looking at this as one giant 30+ hour workout...so we'll be listening to LMFAO, Ke$ha, etc.  Something fast & fun.  Anything slow/relaxing would just make it seem like it's dragging on for me.
