Pandora during labor

I am wanting to have music during my labor, but do not really have the tools to make a whole playlist for the big day... I was curious what kind of music you choose for your labor and possible pandora stations you could recomend... I will be using my kindle for music during that time! Thanks.

    Well the music I like doesn't really seem like something I would labor too... so suggestions are what I was looking for?

    Why would you labor to music you don't normally listen to?  You can listen to anything you want.  There are no rules that require Enya or anything.  Personally, I didn't listen to any music.  I watched a bit of TV and napped after I got my epidural.  Once it was time to push I wouldn't have noticed music anyway.

    We made a play list but never got the chance to listen to it since DS came like a rocket.  In fact, I didn't get to use any of the things I planned to use in the delivery room.

    I had music on for most of my labor. It was stuff that I liked, that could help me focus and didn't annoy me or distract me. That will be different for every person.

    I listened to P!nk for the 20 minute car ride to the hospital.  I think I remember asking dh to bring the cd in, but it stayed in my suitcase the rest of the time.

    I know its not a typical genre that most listen to, but sometimes putting classical on helps.  I've done that for women in labor before.  That or instrumental versions of their favorite artist.

    But usually I ask what is their favorite type of music and will put that station on for them.
    Yep. Contemporary classical is my favorite genre, and I may go that route this time or have Christmas music playing. :)

    I feel relaxed to Pandora stations like Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Enya. I plan to have music going as music helps me thru a lot of my life. It's calming and gives you something to focus on. I'm a first timer so not sure it applies to labor but I'm guessing it's different for all of us and worth a shot!

    "Gobinday" - Mantra/Chant by Mantra Girl

    Also, "Adi Shakti" by Mantra Girl.

    This is what I listened to during labor.

    With my first the nurse put on crappy whale sounds to "calm me". Which was the last thing I needed and instead just pissed me off. Then my second I smarted up and brought my running mix with music that helped pump me up to push him out.

    This time I will probably be catching up on House of Cards until it is time to push then listen to my running mix again...good luck!

    I'm a doula and my first ever client had her laptop at the birth- hubby thought it would be funny to play baby beluga by raffi while she was in heavy labour- we laugh about it now but she was not happy then. For my second I had a play list of songs I liked and played through my very fast labour- the song that played when he was born always makes me nostalgic- it's nice to have an important moment in your life linked to a good song!
