I would suggest listening to music that you like, and visualizing yourself hearing it at the birth. You'll know which ones feel right.

For me the Christian music that I had included Michael W Smith (worship albums). To this day when I hear some of those songs I get emotional remembering my DDs birth.

I haven't made a playlist but the album "Blink" by Plumb is currently on my list of possible songs to be playing during labor.

I had TONS of Hillsongs on my iPod, I love them, especially Hosanna, Found, Forever, they were my favorite. I also like Jaci Velsaquez I Will Rest in You

I agree! That's how I came up with my list. From early on in my pregnancy when I would hear a song that was meaningful to me I jotted down the title, then later I downloaded the songs and burned them onto a couple CDs, which we took to the hospital with us. I visualized myself laboring on the birthing ball with my support people around me and my music playing. It was what I consider a labor of love to work on throughout the pregnancy. They are all meaningful to me in some way. And it was absolutely perfect when my birthing time came. And now when I listen it brings me back a little bit - I feel I can remember parts of my birthing better when I hear a song that I had playing during labor.
