I can't hear Little Lion Man without thinking about giving birth. :)</p> <p>Sadly I pushed for a long time so I was able to listen to 2 Guster and 1 Mumford and Sons albums. We didn't have a play list, DH just starting playing music from his phone he thought I might like. I have told him to make sure those are still on his phone when it all goes down this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2208662 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:47:14 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2208662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listened to my EDM playlist while in labor. My mom thought I was crazy since it isn't very relaxing music, but I didn't want relaxing, I wanted distracting. I thought it was perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2208517 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:02:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 2208517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in labor with my first I was listening to Bob Marley before I made them shut it off, I needed silence. </p> <p>Some on my upbeat playlist I had were: </p> <p>Lots of old school Destiny's Child (Survivor, Independent Woman, ect.)<br /> Nelly<br /> I had a lot of early 00s stuff since that's what I like (listened to in HS) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2208478 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:43:40 +0000 hellobeeboston 2208478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: you beat me to it! My husband actually played this when I started pushing, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2208469 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:41:35 +0000 LindsayInNY 2208469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Those are good ones!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Yes!! Haha!</p> <p>@Ash: I have regular calming music too, in case I'm more in the mood for that.</p> <p>@travellingbee: We had The Final Countdown written down but I hadn't thought of the others! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207767 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 04:06:53 +0000 rachiecakes 2207767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: June wrote it :)</p> <p>I made a playlist and never used it. It was similar to my gym playlist, lots of motivational tunes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207766 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 03:42:25 +0000 Corduroy 2207766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO2 this week I listened to the radio in the car to try to keep my mind off of traffic. I only remember hearing Rhianna's Rude Boy or whatever it's called and deeming it acceptable.</p> <p>With LO1 I built a whole playlist (iPod hasn't been unpacked from labor bag but I'll try to grab it and post some options). I thought I would want upbeat music since that's what I worked out to. I ended up listening to Enya for two days straight (apologies to DH and my doula). If you have time I would make a few playlists just in case you're in the mood for something different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207757 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 01:53:27 +0000 AprilFool 2207757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listened to Florence and the Machine in labour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207756 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 01:51:44 +0000 birdofafeather 2207756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: So funny as I started off with my hypnobirthing mix and was immediately pissed off. I think at some point DH put on Mumford and sons but I cannot confirm anything because I was making guttural sounds during labor or humming my own tune to keep me on track. </p> <p>Early labor: relaxing songs like Mumford </p> <p>Upbeat: Florence and the machine<br /> The fray<br /> Snow patrol<br /> Katy perry<br /> T swift </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207744 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 01:18:31 +0000 PawPrints 2207744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Yeah I was going to say this, I made a playlist of calming indie rock type music and it was the best. Nurses, midwives, and lactation consultants all complimented my music when they were in the room :) I used it for nursing for the first couple weeks too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207705 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:41:48 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2207705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! Music would have pissed me off too. Like, wtf Johnny, how can you crone on about the Ring of Fire until you push a baby out your vajayjay?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207682 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:42:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2207682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pushing K out, Inner Ninja was playing. Coincidence, but it made it into the playlist for a reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207612 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 20:13:59 +0000 autumnleaves 2207612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up listening to more calming music too - bluegrass. I think next time I'd consider enya. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207589 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:11:12 +0000 mrscobee 2207589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I think it would piss me off too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207582 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 18:40:45 +0000 travellingbee 2207582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: Ditto- In fact, I think music might have pissed me off. Like extra sensory input I didn't need. </p> <p>Girl on Fire (Alicia Keys)<br /> The Final Countdown (Europe)<br /> Roar (Katy Perry) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207575 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 18:28:24 +0000 Banana330 2207575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so in the zone I don't think I would have noticed what was playing in the room. I barely remember DH being there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207562 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 17:37:08 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2207562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: love it! :happy: I am going to tell my hubby that one. </p> <p>I didn't even think of having a labour playlist/music, but that may be a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207560 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 17:31:27 +0000 Ash 2207560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just might be me, but I preferred calming music (think "what a wonderful world"). So I might make a couple different ones depending on how you feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207546 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 17:03:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2207546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Push It - Salt and Pepa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207538 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 16:44:10 +0000 Anya 2207538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You make my dreams come true<br /> Here comes my baby- cat Stevens<br /> Pusherman- Curtis mayfield<br /> No sleep tonight<br /> Take your mama out- scissor sisters<br /> Always be my baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-playlist#post-2207527 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 16:20:43 +0000 LindsayInNY 2207527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Want to make a kick ass, motivating labor playlist. Think upbeat songs like Eye of the Tiger or punny ones like Ring of Fire. I'm more mainstream with music tastes, if that helps. Suggestions please! </p>
