[littlemama06]

I have made a cd of the songs I want to play while I am in labor, these are the songs from our wedding

Van Morrison - Crazy Love ( which Jeremy walked down the aisle to and again when I walked down
Van Morrison - Into the Mystic ( my bridesmaids walked down to)

Alison Krause- Heart strings ( played when they walked my mom and Jeremy's mom down)

When You say nothing at all ( when the my little flower girls and ring barrer walked down) everytime I look atthe video of them entering the little chapel

I Don't know why ( after the bridal party were out and everyone else was leaving

Nora Jone- The Nearness of you ( sang) at our reception

These are songs
that are important to me, I listen to them all the time.

What songs are you playing during your labor, if any?

I'm using George Winston Piano Solos, like I did during my first birth... ALTHOUGH, there was only about a 2 minute space of time between 2 pushing contractions that I was in any way aware that there was music playing at all! I think anything with words would distract me though. I've had this piano solo CD for the past 9 years, so its really familiar to me, which I find comforting. I was thinking of maybe also throwing in one of my progressive sleep CDs (also piano). I love piano.

I might put on the iPod - it ranges from Pearl Jam & Nickelback to Alabama & Tim McGraw to U2, Stevie Wonder, and James Taylor. I love variety! I'm not sure though ... the only reason I was thinking of putting on music is to give myself something to sing along with and think about at least in between contractions (which are finally here and getting stronger!).

I have a mix that is about 8 hours long on my iPod. Lots of mellow music and songs i love.

Dh is making some CDs. All my faves. We have the Beatles, Velvet Underground, Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel, Beck, Of Montreal, Belle & Sebastian, Iron & Wine, Ugly Cassanova, David Bowie, the Cure...basically a bunch of emo and some old stuff. It's how we roll.

Those all sound so great. As a midwife, the only music that makes me nuts at a birth is Enya played on a loop. Now I like a little Enya now and again mixed well with lots of other kinds of music, but the same fr------ CD on a loop for 22 hours is enough to make me throw myself out the nearest 2 story window!!

I have a lot of Air on the iPod. Some Stereolab. Autour de Lucie. Sigur Ros. David Bowie. Basically, I'm going with my "long plane ride" standbys.

I listened to Coldplay

I have one specific cd that I used w/ dd. It's this indian music w/ just sounds. Flutes, running water, etc. It's very very peaceful and great to meditate to. With dd I didn't want to hear any music w/ actual singing. It got on my nerves. But I have lots of stuff I can listen to. I'll probably listen to mainly reggae though. Other than my 'indian' cd.

I'm taking a collection of CDs with one or two songs on each that I like. Having to think about stuff like that helps me with pain management. Then there are a few that I can just let play, like whalesong, a celtic cd and : Enya... I wouldn't play it on repeat though.

Mostly, they are for me to sing along with while I don't want to socialize, etc.
