2nd time moms. Music in the delivery room?

katerpie · August 2011

What music did you listen to? Or 1st time what will you listen to?

Music was the last thing on my mind in the delivery room. I packed my ipod but never got it out.

I made a playlist for both DD and DS, I really enjoyed having it playing and it helped relax me. My favorite song was Ingrid Michaelson's "Keep Breathing" that song always helps me when I'm stressed out.

We listened to classical, lots of Yo Yo Ma (my fave).

I've got a playlist of music my mother listened to all the time when I was a kid. She died a few years ago and the playlist makes me feel closer to her and all my happy memories of her, so hopefully it'll make me feel good throughout labor. I'm also bringing my Scottish Moors CD. It's got lots of beautiful, relaxing piano and violin music with the sound of waves in the background. I've had it since I was about 8, so more happy memories! :-) Hopefully these help!

This. I ended up leaving the TV on and that seemed to be a better distraction for me.

I didn't listen to any music or watch tv. I was in labor in the middle of the night so I tried to focus on getting some sleep before having to push.

After I got my epi, I watched TV until it came time to push...after that, I had absolutely no idea what was on TV, or if it was still even on.

I didn't listen to music or watch tv. That was the furthest thing from my mind.

I figure that the tv is there if I want a distraction--I"m not planning on bringing music--the type of stuff that I like won't relax me

I had a CD that was a recording of the ocean. I used it to relax when I was practicing my breathing/pain management techniques at home, and that's what I had in the hospital. I think real music would have bothered me.
