I don't see why you couldn't wear headphones. They probably would have annoyed me, but I bet it would work well for a lot of women who want something to focus on other than their uterus.

I don't see why they wouldn't let you wear them either, but I can't say for sure as I'm a first-timer as well

To be honest, I have no IDEA what I'd listen to. I have a pretty wide-ranging taste in music, and often my mood dictates what I listen too. I can't say what my mood will be like when the time comes... though I have a funny picture in my mind of listening to my "get pumped up" running music while giving birth! Surely not what I'll actually need at the time!

my mother listened to a Henry Mancini album while in labor with me. when i was in college, my dad found the LP and put it on. mom rushed out of the kitchen yelling at my dad to turn it off--she'd started having contraction-like cramps!

I am not saying it brings back bad memories it is just not good relaxing background music anymore. So when you pick your music be prepared not to like the music again. |
Of course you can, absolutely!

You can do anything you want, don't let the doctors tell you otherwise. Do whatever you need to have the birth experience that you want !
